The post zombie apocalypse, steampunk world is a really cool setting. I like the <strong>Starcraft<\/strong>-style base exploring side missions, and I also like that the zombies remind me of <strong>Project Zomboid<\/strong>, in the sense that one zombie left unchecked is very dangerous and could completely destroy your colony.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, just one zombie being so deadly does highlight one of the game&#8217;s major annoyances. The long missions paired with the lack of a quick save system. A lot of the missions&#8217; times last at least an hour, and it&#8217;s not even due to the fact that I play RTS&#8217;s kind of slowly. No, it&#8217;s due to the fact that most of the main objectives have a set time before they can even be completed. And this makes the lack of saving so much worse. Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, you can save, but that&#8217;s for not having to restart the mission if you close the game, if you fail the mission you can&#8217;t load that save, you just have to start over. That is, unless you forcibly close the game without saving, then you can load one of the very few auto saves.<\/p>\n<p>But, all of that aside, I&#8217;m still having fun and I&#8217;ll probably play more over the next week.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I hope everyone has a good Christmas and if you&#8217;re getting together with family I hope that dinner has no arguments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I&#8217;ve started playing They Are Billions.
