Only played two matches so far, but I see a decent game underneath the Early Access.

Things I like:
- Permadeath. Survival of the fittest my dudes.
- The extraction-shooter like gameplay loop. Sure, it's not the same as the first, but I don't mind the change.
- Melee combat. It can feel sluggish at times, but it has good feedback.

Tips for beginners:
- Sprinting seems to cost no Stamina, running away is always an option.
- Vans are your friend, climb up to be safe.
- Shove! It's basically a stun. Shove stronger zeds to put in a few easy hits.

Bugs I encountered so far:
- A few invincible zombies (maybe caused by Pipe Bomb blast)
- Zombie spawning is excessive, sometimes they appear right behind you
- Zombies climbing through barricaded windows
- Performance issues (maybe it's a me problem though)

Edit: So I played like 8-10 matches now, won the last 4. The game is actually not that hard once you play with competent people. Just keep moving and do the objectives before the zeds flood your location. The "end-game" also feels a lot like playing the original game. I really enjoy it, though it needs more content. Spawning is still broken though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
