A game I hate to hate
Project Zomboid is a very ambitious game. The developers have a passion for the game and clearly care greatly about it. It has the framework of a good game. But it just isn't a good game. I hate the fact that I hate the game. Why is PZ a bad game? Fundamentally, the game is boring. Even people who love the game will tell you once you learn to play it gets easy and you need to bump up the difficulty to have fun. The gameplay loop is pretty much, try to make a safe base early on, scavenge and skill up, and then fortify. At some point you'll die and start from scratch. You end up spending more time organizing your loot than actually looting. Past a certain point there is nothing new to find. The excitement of the game comes from dealing with zombies. But the game punishes you for fighting zombies and due to the numbers on normal, hiding/running from them is hard. The combat is terrible, truly awful. You will die countless times to missing a swing because you can't judge distance in the isometric view. The best weapon in the game is a fence; really, a fence is a better weapon then a pistol. Not because it does damage but because zombies trip on it. It is a rougelike, when you die your game is over. Just game over, no redos. And that's fine in a game like FTL which is 2 hours. You can easily sink 20+ hours into a run in PZ only to miss a swing and die. Leaving you with nothing. PZ is a timesink. You spend hours doing menial repetitive tasks, only to die due to bad luck or a mistake and all that time is gone. No sense of pride or accomplishment. Only frustration. Let me give you an example, I had a run that was really successful. I had sunk probably close to 20 hours into it. Then my character just died. Why? The game didn't say. Later I learned it was because he had eaten burnt food, which in this game is deadly despite not being labeled as dangerous. All that time, wasted. For a death most people would say was BS. The game is a literal waste of time.
