Let's start by stating this game is very new in a very Early Access state, so we can't expect a solid game nor a near finished game.  With that said let me tell you what I think about this game since I did decide to purchase it and played for almost 5 hours this far.  Five hours may not seem that much, but for this game it is.  There are only two locations you will visit, one is huge and the other is kind of on the small side but works more as a welcoming you to the game kind of map. 

     Since I am experienced with the first Into the Radius, I was able to pick up the controls really quick and had no issues there.  However, there were buggy situations with the controls that were not present in the first Into The Radius.  That's okay though, this is an early access game so I expected to experience weird glitches with your hands interacting with guns.  Such as maybe pulling out your clips and throwing them into god knows where while trying to rush to pick up your gun when a sick looking cop (Mimic) guy is firing at you behind several obstacles.  Then there may be times when you're being fired at from some unknown location by many Mimics who seem to be a football field in distance with nothing but a pistol...  Yes, that was some of my experience with weird things that will no doubt be fixed throughout development.

     There were a lot of things that I did like though, such as the new anomalies.  However, I do want to point out here that there are like 10 or so placed in one small area with a frickin' Mimic placed right in the middle of it, which did trigger my nerves at times.  Again, those things will no doubt be worked out throughout development, but I want to let you know if this will impact your purchase or not.  The graphics were absolutely beautiful, I had no issues with my 3060 TI while using Virtual Desktop which I felt very lucky because a lot of people are having issues with how smooth the game runs at this time.  I think the devs did an even better job with the maps this time around, not to mention the new Base location.  I love all of the new buildings and the new features those buildings had to offer from the first game.  I don't want to spoil much but I'll give you one feature, so stop reading and skip to the next bit if you don't want to know this.  You are now able to remove your Chest Rig and place it on Mannequins, but not only that you can swap them out and place old ones on one of the several Mannequins you now have access to.  That's still not all though, you can still place things into the rig while wearing one if you want to make a loadout.  Such a great addition to the game that I wish the first one had, but hey this is the second game, so you can expect more out of it as they already know what they are doing at this point.

     This game can be very difficult at this time, so I do want to bring this to your attention.  I told you about the 10 or so anomalies being placed all in one area and that mimic stuck in the middle of it, you will experience things like this throughout the maps.  There are no difficulty settings at this time and the only way to heal is by the Shower in your base, not by sleeping like in the previous game.  This may change though, again this is very early access in my opinion.  There are new anomalies that can also work your nerves if you don't watch them closely, I want spoil them because I don't want to spoil everything, but yeah if you hear something electric be very careful about moving and keep your eyes open to spot those beauties.  Another thing that can make this game very difficult is that Mimics tend to have a range of a god.  These dudes can shoot (as stated before) from a large distance and you may not even be able to see them to return fire.  This did get on my nerves since I was already trying to dodge the 5 anomalies standing in my way, but not to mention the spider (spawns) guys that come out of frickin' no where lunging at you for even more damage.  I hope those things get fixed soon and this game will be great.

     So, do I recommend this game to you guys?  At this time, if you do not mind dropping $40 on a game that is filled with the issues above and want to enjoy seeing it grow through each update that drops (the main reason why I chose to buy it) then I say, yes go ahead and pick it up.  There is plenty of fun to have here even if you just want to check out the new features they added that were not in the previous game.  However, if you are looking for a game that is already in a great state that just went into Early Access before it releases... then do not buy this game.  I would say wait a bit to see some updates that may spark your interest in purchasing it then while they work out the kinks.  The price will never change as stated by the Devs, so you can choose to buy this game whenever you want expecting the price to either be on sale (like it is now) or still at that $40 price tag.  That's my thoughts though, have you tried this game?  Would you recommend it to someone?  Feel free to let us know in the comments below.  Catch you in the new Mod Showcase that dropped today on YouTube ;D.  Goodbye.. for now...

      

     It's been a bit since I posted here, so I figured it's about time I do so.  If you haven't checked out my latest video and you love Vehicle Mods for Project Zomboid, then you should definitely check out this sexy beast.  I had a blast with this one and in the video I explain why so I'll leave that for you to find out ;).  In other news I'm currently battling myself in if I should do a Marathon on YouTube with all of my Mod Showcases for a day or most of it at least.  This is something I've been thinking on for a while, but the battle is due to me not wanting to bother people.  However, it would be a great idea for new eyes to discover my content throughout the day whenever they want with a live feed.  Let me know in the comments below how you feel about this, I'd be glad to know your opinion.
