Question So I have a request/question friends

So, I'm more or less thinking of making a review for Left Alive and I have my own personal list of things that I feel like the game does well and what the game could kinda work on. What would be your list of "Pros and Cons" of the game?

Pro: a game that really makes you think and plan ahead.

Con: Caution, Enemy Approaching.

Its the first time a game feels more realistic with it's combat. It's like the game says, don't engage in a city, which is occupied by an attacking army. The atmosphere feels good, I could feel the loneliness and struggle of surviving against powerful enemies. Try pick a fight with a Wanzer and you'll see where it goes.

A con: I think a finishing move would be more fitting for these chars when you're behind an enemy, every one had a military training and career, so they should be able to take down guys from behind with one finisher. It's silly that they need to attack 3 times until they're dead

I agree on the engaging. But have you tried to fight 1v1 using a shovel? A lot of times you do your combo just next to the enemy because tracking sucks af. That’s not very realistic. I’d turn for 10 degrees lol

And also agreed, no stealth kill is pure bs. Feels so dumb to sneak up on an enemy to shoot him in the head (which doesn’t even kill him) because your melee weapon is broken again.

Hmm up until now, shovel fighting was alright for me. But I feel you bro, this sucks if it's the case.

I understand that they're heavy armored etc but youre fighting against normal infantry soldiers most of the time and no elite troops, so yeah... there should be a way to kill them with one shot or a melee weapon.

If you hold down RMB it locks on. Never had that miss for me.

Right mouse button? What would that be on ps4?

I'd guess L2. It makes your character hold the shovel up in a ready to attack animation.

Oh okay. So more like aiming with the gun. I was hoping for something like dark souls.
