Combat is directional and physics-based. Using mouse or right-stick aiming, you can swing a wide variety of melee weapons (pipes, katanas, sledgehammers, nunchucks) at a specific body part.

The weather effects and night lighting hold up well enough to provide visibility during chaotic fights. Combat is directional and physics-based
