I finally watched ep 3 and it was pretty good, not gonna lie.

Although, I always have difficulty watching "Ron Swanson" in any other role, no matter how many times I see him.

I also had difficulty with the other guy (Bill? Frank?) who I first saw and really liked in "The White Lotus" except he lost his charming Australian accent!

It was a well-crafted and touching episode, for sure. I've read that they deviated from the game on this one, and it was a good choice.

Overall, I'm enjoying this series, having never heard of the game (not a gamer). And I agree that it shares the vibe of the early episodes of "The Walking Dead" especially the TWD pilot. I remember watching that twice the first time I saw it, it was so good. No episode of TWD was better than that pilot, imho. I watched for several seasons before finally tiring of the repetitive storylines.
