♥♥♥♥ you techland for your ultimate fury cricket ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, for making me wait 5 seconds TWICE with no zombies then I lose by 25 milliseconds at the end.

Seriously though, the combat skills suck compared to DL1, I don't use any of them and I don't like parkour combat, it's not fluid at all or how I like to fight. I don't want to execute "perfect" moves to fight, I just want to fight.
Parkour skills don't all suck but most aren't that great either. Parkour skills are so much harder to execute this time around.
The key combination or requirements to execute half of the abilities are weird - vaulting over enemies, double jump, far jump etc.

There are some big annoyances, like how you can't execute anything on a slope because you slide down, so sometimes zombies can attack you with impunity if you're stuck on a sloped part of the ground, or at the bottom of a slope. Sometimes you grab a pole or ledge below you for no reason. Idk the character doesn't do what you would like as much as in DL1.
Over half the tall buildings are missing garbage you can land on beside them, so you have to tediously make your way back down the way you came up. The "safe landing" skill is too tough to execute, requiring a "perfect" timing once again, instead of being able to hold the button which would be nicer.

Been doing all the side quests and stuff and still don't have a bow at the time of review which is kind of necessary to fight a lot of the special zombies easily and get trophies for upgrades.

None of the traders provide better weapons than I can find on the streets, so what do I spend my money on?

The game looks beautiful though.

Running at 4K 60 most of the time, but NOT High Quality RT, just base RT, with a 3080. Day 0 it was running at 20FPS, but with the Day 1 patch it came up to 60. It's possible it will get better over time.
