Early Access Review
The best Zombie Survival game out there period.

Despite it's isometric appearance and 'simplistic' style that would turn most people off, this game truly has more to offer than in comparison to other Survival games out there on the market currently. I would even go as far as saying that this game beats more 'mainstream' titles such as DayZ, 7 Days to Die, and other titles. The game will eventually receive more promising content with their next big patch dubbed 'Build 42'. It may be a while until we see Build 42, but the developers consistently update the game and keep the community informed about the future of this game through blog posts, and so far it is looking quite promising.

But of course there is more to it than just the promising developers of The Indie Stone. Project Zomboid comes with many interesting mechanics that make the game so compelling, truly bringing awe to the aspect of not only survival but the amount of 'realism' packed into what looks to be a simple game at first sight. You must first create your survivor and give them a occupational background, including positive and negative traits that truly affect your gameplay in the coming apocalypse. There is no underlying quest or story line to follow, your simple objective is to survive for as long as you can. The amount of mechanics and interesting tid-bits are a lot to unpack, but the core mechanic of the game that makes it so amazing is the ability to tailor your own world to what best suits you through the sandbox option.

Project Zomboid is also blessed to have an amazing modding community, which can allow you to further enhance your experience that best suits your own play style. It would be unfair to give this game perfect marks however, because in my OWN opinion; the game becomes much more enjoyable with mods than in comparison to the base vanilla version. However, that is not to deny the quality the vanilla version of the game gives, but once you experience the game with certain mods you will begin to understand why.

Project Zomboid is a game that should receive a lot more love, not to say it doesn't already, but eventually in time with more consistent updates to the game, it will become a survival game unlike any other in the market. The best part is, the game only costs 19.99 (base price) which is absolutely worth it even when it's not on sale!
