A Zombie Sandbox Like No Other
This might be an "early access" title, but it's easily a full game, and one that is more in-depth than just about any other zombie experience on the market. I'll get the bad out of the way first. I want NPCs. Just basic survivors that solo players can recruit on their own (or dispose of if so inclined), and kind of build up a little community. it doesn't need to become a world builder or anything, but just some stuff to help with the loneliness of it outside of playing online would be great. Heck, give us pets, while you're at it so we can get the I am Legend experience. Other than that, I absolutely adore it. Graphics: The isometric perspective and simple, yet effective, graphics are charming, and the amount of detail put into the environments really makes the game world come to life. It won't satisfy people who need 4K garlic bulbs in the latest AAA hit, but that isn't a bad thing. Gameplay: The gamplay is exceptional, and it's what surprises me the most. It's so in-depth, and every little detail is thought out. Firearms are a good example of this. You don't slip a randomly loaded mag into your gun and get it done. You have to open the box of ammo, fill the magazine you (hopefully) have in your inventory, insert that into it, and then rack it. That goes for simply pressing the reload button too, but without all the menu clicking. Death is permanent, but you can make a new character in the same persistent world; so, you might just bump into all those beginner characters you lost in your first two hours of play assuming they were bitten before death. lol. I can go on for hours, but I won't. A lot of fun is found in learning the mechanics and dying because you didn't think to disinfect a wound before bandaging or actually bait a trap you needed food from. Performance: This is great. I haven't had slowdowns or frame drops. No glitches or crashes. My fans kick on in high-pop areas. You can also mod it very easily, and the devs encourage it.
