You get this feeling that your trapped in this primitive environment almost medieval and your fighting to get back to modern civilization. The only things modern in the game is the weapons until the research facilities and even then, ammo is scarce. people love that type of setting and mood.
That's your opinion, but I hated the atmosphere. The only place where it had a decent horror atmosphere going on was in the village. After that it just went way downhill. I also think it was largely the gameplay that killed it too. I might have found the areas interesting if the gameplay didn't amount to go here, kill 50 guys, move on to the next room, kill 50 more guys, rinse and repeat. I never had an issue with not having enough ammo, and to top it off, I hated the aiming system. Unfortunately the story and atmosphere most definitely did not make up for the boring and repetitive gameplay for me.
