Short 4.0 Review from the top of my head:
+ Lotus is now a boss fight
(+ Good decision to remove the r*** scene in the beginning, although I think this was done in an earlier update)
- I don't like the new flashlight. Considering that it's now directional, it has a very short range and I definitely miss the old tactical gun flashlight
- I don't like the new respawn mechanic. When you "die" to spore infection, you're teleported to some random place at the cost of 10 % mental health and have to re-orient and run back to wherever you've left off. So it breaks the flow of the game and thus usually makes me reload, while not having any real consequences - or at least getting any interesting cutscenes out of it. It also seems almost impossible / very tedious to start TEP by getting infected ten times in a rowwithout dying from physical damage.
+/- I honestly don't care about the collectible cards. Please don't invest too much into them...
+/- Please also make sure to wrap up the loose story threads revolving around the other crew members such as the two cannibal brothers and the BJ guy. They can't just stay in their beds forever, can they?
