One piece of advice, if you haven't already take the camouflage ability ASAP. It makes trying to do stuff while dealing with the hordes of zombies SOOO much easier. Game was very frustrating for me until I did that.
I'm loving it now as well, but (like you) it took a little while to really click with me. The problem is that it's hard from the start, and all that you have at the beginning are weak melee weapons that are pretty much useless so you just have to run a lot. Being underpowered and dying a lot over and over again when just starting a game isn't fun, but I stuck with it because there's a lot to like about it and after doing several side quests I got lots of crafting materials to craft better weapons and skill points to unlock more abilities/skills. While the game remains hard, at least you eventually get better weapons and abilities/skills to make it more reasonable.
I played it for a good part of yesterday dumping a lot of hours into it, and I was having a blast most of the time. There were times when it angered me as well, but some of those times were my fault because I was playing it impatiently. The game requires strategy a lot of the time because you're outnumbered and underpowered, and crafting resources are limited so you can't craft a lot of stuff so you have to make what you craft count.
I like the story and characters, including the main protagonist. While my preference is usually playing as a female character from a third person perspective, I'm still fine playing as a male character if they're likable (which they're often not IMO) and I like a first person perspective if a game is better played from that view which this one is.
It hasn't offered me the camouflage ability yet, but I'll be sure to get it as soon as it does. Thanks for the tip.
