So some really frustrating aspects to this game. The core concept is fun but the major problem I have is that the stated numbers and what impact they have are not always matching up. For instance I am told I should be getting 4 rations a week, yet sometimes he will only drop three on the ground. Same with some of the health purchases in the store. 10% is advertised yet only 5% is reflected in the stats. Very annoying as it is unreliable systems.
