I just want to talk about the atmosphere.

March 2019 This game had a very troubled start and after a few months the player base vanished.

February 2021 and this game is completely different from March 2019, Generation Zero I believe is now delivering on the developers original vision, what you have here is not a survival game, but an exploration horror game.

As you wonder around the map you come across areas that have been ravaged by a conflict, Farms that look like people have left in a hurry, villages that seem to of been occupied by some malevolent force, you never know what you are about to stumble upon or witness, I felt really uneasy entering such areas, it always felt like I was being watched by something.

The Story of the game is to discover what happened to the island and it's occupants, you uncover this through the environment and journals, you come across Maps that highlight areas of discovery, without going into detail it's really rewarding to follow this path, but you can wander of and discover your own adventure.

This game really does feel great to wander around it, with all the 80's trappings and Stranger Things like soundtrack, I love discovering the bootleg Commodore Amiga, things like this really add to the game, I could of played this just as an exploration game, I'm not even talking about the Guns or the Skill Trees or the awesome Enemies, how they hunt you, or sometimes how they see you as some insignificant object and just carry on, I just had such fun living in this world without firing a bullet.

This is a fantastic game now, with each update they add or fix things, like one patch made a specific enemy almost invincible and it was like that for a month, even though it was brutal to take them down it was still a challenge and we teamed together and took it down, these balance issues were bad in the beginning but not now, I can't recommend this game enough it really is good.
