You can craft a great many items in this game. Weapons, Tools, Clothes, Workbenches, There are even molds to make things like nails.

There is a lot of looting, Most loot I acquired was materials to craft items and not usable items themselves.
Combat, Main Enemy Types

Over Gameplay Difficulty
This game will fall a little more difficult depending on what settings you choose. It will be easy to die, I used a full clip of ammo trying to kill a wolf and almost lost. I would assume skill increases will change this to be in your favor.
Game Summary
Hold Your Own seems to have enough content to provide many hours of gameplay. It has a pretty large world with lots of things to do. You are not in constant combat and worried about Zombies all the time. Many survival game titles are created by single devs or pairs, and are not AAA titles, but for the price they can be well worth it, especially true when on sale.
