A lot of people seem to be disappointed in this game because it's not as good as Project Zomboid. But in my opinion it's a totally different experience. First of all - graphics are nice, sounds are mid and music...

Not great. Constant stuttering and freezing, desktop crashes, buggy interface.. Just, not a great game. Keep an eye on it but yeah don't bother right now. Plus very periodic content updates and its TWENTY FIVE GB.
