What I love:

+Exp. is something you can really USE. It doesn't just sit there gathering dust while you stroke your e-peen. You can use the exp. to upgrade different things like being better at stealth, getting hungry & thirsty less, better knowledge of crafting, survival skills, etc.

+There are working cars you can hop in and actually drive, the horn works and at night you can turn the lights on. Flashlights work too.

+You can plant and farm, you need medicine to survive because of radiation. Most food and drink is moldy or going bad.

+You can craft things like doors and canteens to gather water over and over again. You need to stay fed and hydrated as well as maintaining your health and keeping your radiation levels low.

+You can exp from killing, crafting and so on.

+You can go hunting when you get to a comfortable base. I have a little farm I am slowly fortifying.

+There is multiplayer capability.

+The devs are constantly updating this game with new stuff, almost every single day.
============================================================
What I hate:

-Multiplayer is too annoying at the moment (for MY tastes)

-I really hate how the characters look. They are just too blocky for my tastes.

-Crafting sometimes is far TOO complicated with little to show for it. IE: Chests. It takes forever to make one with wood and you end up with something that locks to all other players & only has four spaces. Bit of a let down in a world where your items WILL vanish when you log out/server is stopped.

-Can't just drink from a stream/river. It makes no sense to me.

-Not enough seeds in the world.

-Crafting is VERY annoying. You have to figure out everything bit by bit. (Alt+Tab in a world that does not stop is a bad idea)

-Only two kinds of wildlife (as of this review, may change?)

-Even with perks and upgrades, I think you get hungry/thirsty way too fast. Radiation goes up too fast for my tastes as well.

-No way to really customize your game. (Not enough for me)

I really love this game because it has so many things in it I wish other zombie survival games had, like cars and working flash lights (torches).

I play with my roommates and we can get lost in this thing for hours. I will admit that at first the graphics and silly looking mobs are very off putting. But let yourself sit in the world for awhile, go exploring and start killing and hunting. You will see what I mean about the game play with this and being able to look passed the look of the game. I had to admit it has grown on me, I don't think I really want to even see it changed or "upgraded" at this point. I would like it is the characters were a lot less blocky though.

Crafting in this game is a little too complicated at times, especially for making a 4 slot chest. On multiplayer these chests are automatically locked. You don't get a choice about it. If you are on a player killer server I can understand that. But playing with my roommates I know I don't have to worry about that but I have to go and grab something each and every time they need something from one of them because of this. I really would like that to change.

I would also like to see multiplayer be made a lot easier for other people. Because I share a network with friends it is easy for us to get on a server together and play. It is very annoying sounding for others that don't have this immediate luxury.
