Gameplay is primarily affected by mechanics that limit melee combat effectiveness, such as the lack of knockback and the risk of being grabbed by enemies. While a food mechanic adds a layer of challenge by requiring players to manage hunger, it becomes less significant once ranged weapons are acquired, making exploration and loot collection feel less impactful. Overall, the gameplay experience is reminiscent of Dying Light 1, but the hunger bar remains a persistent concern for players.
- “The main difficulty is due to mechanics; there is no knockback on melee combat, and you can be immediately grabbed when in melee range of the enemies. This is completely ignorable once you have a ranged weapon. There is a food mechanic, and you will lose health if you don't keep your hunger up, but this is also ignorable as you can complete the levels before it runs lower than the starting given food is used up. This is ideal because the general map is pretty scarce on food, making exploring and loot kind of irrelevant beyond the required items.”

- “Reminds me a lot of Dying Light 1, but there's one issue that keeps bothering me during gameplay: it's the hunger bar.”
