Also that the buildings didn't look like they were actually over your head to block missiles. One the one hand it's cool to not be spoonfed but on the other hand it didn't feel intuitive.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The feeling of panic +1\r<br\/>The feeling of getting stuck in a crowd +1\r<br\/>But not sure if it's &quot;fun&quot;.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good effort.
