I&#8217;m a couple of episodes in, about half of each episode is plan-making and arguing, the other half <em>Metal Gear Solid<\/em>-esque stealth escapades going out into the area to collect supplies\/key items and that &#8211; the whole thing plays out very videogamey with item pop-ups, suspicion indicators above the zombies heads, &#8220;new zombie type&#8221; arrivals and the like. It can be tense and exciting, but maybe it got me in the wrong mood as I didn&#8217;t think it all that <em>compelling<\/em>.
