Amazing game, a few ideas for you! – This War of Mine Review

I don't want you to get the wrong idea of this review. I love this game so much. I play it on a regular basis and its my go-to game for killing time or if I want genuine gameplay that provokes emotions. The game itself is amazing. I just have a few ideas for you to make it even more interactive to the players. I hope you take the following into consideration in your next update! 1: Add a few more shelters for the main characters. It's just to add a broader spectrum of location to the game and I think can be very exciting if some could be easier than others. Like a warehouse with more food and supplies for first time gamers and a shelled building of some kind with more vulnerabilities like holes in the walls and collapsed roofs you need to repair. I think this would put a very enjoyable spin on the gameplay. 2: More characters would be a great addition to the game. I think what you are doing with your current characters are great and I would just like it if you expanded the selection of characters a bit, just to add a wider variety of characters to the player's story. 3: There could be a mechanic to where survivors could carry extra supplies during trips to map locations, like finding different grade backpacks that help the player carry different amounts of items. Even just a small backpack that helps the player carry 2-3 extra slots would come in handy and I think it would be very practical since any able minded person would bring something to help them carry supplies. 4: more map locations would be a great addition to the game. Nearing the end of the game, there aren't very many location left to explore and it just becomes a waiting game since you've either killed everyone in the map by the later half of the game, or have looted every location. I think adding different locations to explore to the very end of the gameplay would be very much appreciated. Some ideas could be a location like central square, but each trader has taken up shop in railway cars of an old train. Or maybe a retirement home much like the quiet house, but kind people take care of the elderly like the hospital. You could also add more dangerous bandits that have attack dogs to make location more challenging. I would really enjoy this and I think others would too. 5: A custom scenario mode would be greatly appreciated. Choosing which shelters you can play in, what characters you can play as, and how many days the game will last would be very interesting and I think would complement the game quite nicely. I like the scenarios given to me by the game, but a custom scenario creator would put a much needed emphasis on the game entirely. What you do with these ideas are up to you and I truly hope you take them into consideration. Thank you for taking the time to read my ideas and if I find them in the next updates, I will be truly satisfied with this game and will spread nothing but good thing about the game since that's all there is to be said about it. Have a nice day and I hope I could make this game a little better!
