The atmosphere and realism is unmatched. Freedom of choices, application of different tactics and unforgiving consequences of player's choices is what makes PZ a paramount of survival games. From sound design to a gritty atmosphere of abandoned towns and rural areas PZ beats every zombie apocalypse game out there. Don't let the pixelated graphics and isometric view fool you. It is deep, well thought game where every small choice matters. If there's one single thing I could nitpick about is the controls especially in places where the isometric perspective makes things a little bit confusing. Fair warning though, the game have a steep learning curve, but it's definitely worth to stick around and get better at it.
Long story short - this an awful rendition of the Mansion of Madness board game. Shouldn't be charged any money, and I doubt it would got me hooked even if recieved for free. First things first - I'm an avid fan of Cthulhu mythos and FF series of board games based on it. I think I own almost all of the board games, including MoM and AH, and I play them regularly with friends. When I first saw the trailer for the digital version I feel pumped - even if graphics weren't looking great, and I could see some shortcuts taken in how the scenes were constructed - I was hoping for at least a little distractor in my favourite universe. Oh how naive I was. This one? I couldn't even stand mere 30 minutes to play this mess of a game. Awful camera and controls, wooden voice acting and predictable scenario - all this simply are proper mood killer. It tries to be fairly accurate in depicting core game mechanics but fails miserably in building the mood - and Cthulhu Mythos is all about the mood. It is simply that bad. Do not buy. Play boardgame instead or at least spend that money better and buy Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.
