Sure, your primary issue is it does not echo the game enough for you, it appears, and that's fine. That will always exist when making adaptations into an 8 hour run time compared to the 100s of hours spent in a game or often 40+ hours of reading a long novel that companies try to adapt to film or shows.
I had little expectations it would, and treated it more as its own silo rather than trying to draw significant comparisons all the time since I realistically know its not going to mimic an experience I have sunk 120 hours into. Not showing enough monsters, not going into enough depth with the enclave, not offering solutions to every nitpick like how did the ghoul take more bullets but the other ghoul didn't, which can have reasonable explanations but you don't have time for everything when you're trying to compress everything to such a short amount of time.
Does that make it a bad show, no clearly not in the opinion of the vast majority of viewers given its one the best performing shows so i'd say overall they probably did hit the nail on the head for the majority of people.
Really the people I see taking significant issue are the ones who spent significant time in the games and expected the show to mimic their childhood experience hoping they would be filled with nostalgia and relive some childhood memory, which we know never works out.
maybe your childhood, and those hours you speak of are rookie numbers.
