Probably the best Zombie Survival game to release in MANY years. Has everything you want for a challenging game, and settings to make it a casual arcade survival if you wanted. But the best part is active development from a developer that listens.

[h1] critically under-rated gem 8/10 [/h1] [h3] pros [/h3] --developers very embedded in the community and take feedback warmly --extremely customizable settings and multiplayer --great small tight-nit community --lots of building and scavenging and movable object allow for massive replay value and enjoyment --massive replay value --extremely fun with friends [h3] neutral [/h3] --(bugs) have not encountered any other than inconsistent melee combat. sometimes they have blood effects other times i swing and they flop over without affects or visuals, like I am in doom using fists watching the enemies keel over. leaves melee unsatisfying however the game is early access and bugs are expected -cant put wall mounted US flag in my inventory had to spend 20 minute using the move feature to transport it across the map to my base extremely niche nitpick but maybe the dev's see this and humor me --desync on multiplayer early access game with small dev team minor inconvenience and part of the development process [h3] cons [/h3] --static non random spawns arguably the greatest con currently the player will always spawn in the same place/town and even vehicles makes gameplay repetitive such as knowing i can walk 5 minutes down the road on the mining town map that features the school refugee center, and every single time i do there's gonna be an ATV on the hill with the keys still in it i can grab that immediately solves my transportation issues --underwhelming and unenjoyable melee [h3] personal takes [/h3] --add a game modifier that adds random spawns for the player that the player can toggle --significant melee overhaul its currently significantly lacking and not very fun --the base building of unturned meets extraction shooter looting with dayz style gameplay its a hybrid of many concepts that's rather innovative and feels like i am playing state of decay 2 but even more sandbox because i build anywhere i want and its fully multiplayer supporting
