I would say the only thing I personally missed from the experince was in-game music, like a radio of some kind. I don't remember the last time I've actively rode around the map entering every house praying to find at least some piece of resources - maybe, just one styrofoam cup or a rag - because I've just spent almost everything I've head to make crazy crows stop peckng poor Deacon and it's already 8 o'clock. the worse case - the same happens when you've just caught an eye of about a hundred of freakers in the middle of a road. the best case scenario - you're clearing out the nests and suddely find out you don't have enough molotov for the last one and you're out of kerosene to make a new batch. if you think you can get by without crafting and managing your supplies, think again. the other thing that keeps you from skipping on exploring the open world and searching for resources are, of course, the hordes. I though it would get too old very soon, but just as you start to think that Deacon talks maybe a little too much, the game throws you into unreasonably wholsesome and sweet flashbacks, and a potentially irritating protagonist quirk suddenly becomes a marker of his whole character development. other cast members are mostly great too (ESPECIALLY Booser and Sarah), but they come and go while Deacon is always there, narrating almost every moment of the game in his mumbly, painfully strained voice. the man, however stereotypical he may seem at the first glance, carries the whole game on his shoulder. yes, it's partly due to the beautiful world and graphics and all the effort put into the immersion, but those things can only keep your attention so long before you start to treat the game as a chore (hello, latest Assasin's Creeds).

whenever I got bored I would just hit the road and drive just for fun, the same way I did in RDR2 and the Witcher 3 and even Cyberpunk. the emotional core of this game is incredible strong - so strong, in fact, that it carried me through the open world slog and routine of clearing camps and hunting freakers for bounty in the beginning, before the game got to the good stuff. the emotional core of this game is incredible strong - so I've never expected to become as ivensted in the game as I did in the end.
