So I started playing Zomboid a long time ago, but never got into it. The lockdown's of 2020 really got me going and youknow.

I don't consider the 1020 hours spent wasted at all. One of the best games going on steam

So let me get this out first.

I love Superfight in its card game form. I played it from the Lootcrate deck and brought the full deck and addons shortly after. It's a tatical and quick witted verbal game i highly advise you to try sometime over Cards against Humanity.


I played this game during the Beta. It was fun and worked. Games were normally going within a few miniuts. Twis great.

I just brought it now (something i found odd, since i had acsess during Beta)

everything is dead. no one plays. The only player i met immidialy went into insulting me because of my background (One of my birds was there)

It's a real shame. Because i love this game and i do want to try the online version again.


Bugger

Allow me to prefix this review with two things beforehand

Yes i have only played two hours. That's all i need to play for now

I am a bus driver in real life. I drive in service busses in and out of towns and cities for a living.



This game is. eh at best. I don't dislike it. Personally i prefer it to OMSI 2 as there's a bit more to it in way of playing it. I like running my own company and i like buying busses and setting them/drivers to routes. I found myself acting in the game as i do on service. I count out change to passangers where required. I find myself checking tailswing and nearside kerb when it comes to mounting. I found myself shouting obsinities at a van driver who stopped for no reason in frount of me then complaining to myself (with hand movements) as to why he was a ♥♥♥♥♥ driver.

This brings me onto one of my bigger problems with the game

The AI is crap. Like. Really crap

Pedestrians are so stupid. They stand in frount of you. Then walk out when your clearly coming. They sit on the kerb and wait for your nearside to hit them because a van decided to charge head on despite you being in his land to negotiate the corner. They glitch out when trying to get on the bus, spinning around on the spot before becoming stuck. And when they are stuck, you drive off and hit them ending your session. I (admittibly) ragequit just now on a long route because a pedestrian decided to try and cross the road whilst i was already half way around the corner. and got hit by the back of my bus. It's very frustrating because that was a long ass route all down the drain.

This is not to say the game is entirly bad. It's simple to pick up and all the buttons are actually labled as to what they do. Athough take note. We don't kneel at every stop. And the distances it deems "perfect" are actually pretty damn far away. Like a foot or so away from the kerb? no thanks. However i take into effect that this is a simulation on the same way ETS2 is. It's fun and easy to pick up, but not super serious dealthy death.

timing don't work like this on busses. but again it's a simple system that's easy for newer people who know less about busses pick stuff up. Also no one in any kind of mangement system for a bus company will ever disipline you for being late. Leaving early yes, being late? No.

I do wish we had a larger selection of busses. 6 MAN busses are okay, but i want to see DAF's, Optares, Volvo's, Alexendra Dennis ect. Hell i want to drive a Solo. Because i am as mad as a fish. So i hope this can be extended on and more busses can be added.


I have never seen a bus company that pays people more based on how experienced they are. at least the one i work for pays you based on how long you worked for the company.


All in all this isnt a bad game. It aint a brilliant game, wouldn't be worth £40. but for £18 if you fancy it, its worth a punt.

Hmm. This game. A lot of reviews bring up the point of Hackers and such, which i will adress now.

I aint played for long, and only two servers which were both community owned, and i had no issues. However, i am aware that they exsist and so should you. The game uses the same Anti-Cheat as Robocraft (Easy Anticheat) at least on my system it does.

Anyway.

Wake up on beach.
Make Armour
Find pretty house
Get raped
walk off
Get killed by someone

Respawn
Repeat.

I was about to quit when i bumped into a few... people. And we invented a brand new sport in the game, sure to take the medievil world by storm!

Yea. This game is pretty funny. But it needs work.

The problem with this game as it stands is, that Unless you have a madly open mind to just going around and doing things, there aint nowt to do. Normally some guidence is needed, but after the tutorial ends thats it. Go kill stuff... And then you go to fix your thing, get attacked midway though! so do it all again.

I recomend it, if only for what it's going to (hopefully) be in the future, not for the state it's in now. Yes its a Beta/Alpha/Whatever but at the same time... i remember when people used to pay *us* to test their games, not the other way around.

Still. Seen much worse in EAG.

It's another shooter. Middle of the road.

I only ran the free weekend, but did'nt see a reason to continue. I'm sure if you have the time to get into it and enjoy the building it's a good game. Zombie mode was fun. but eh.

This game takes learning. There's no denying that, you have to learn how to play the game before you can have fun.

However, when you do it's a surpsingly amusing game to get sunk into. The problem i find in the long run, is that the single player at least is very shallow. You don't find yourself doing much other then building big things and wrecking stuff. and if you can do that, whats the point of going further? This is not, however to say i didn't have a huge amount of fun seeing how large a gun i could fit onto the chassis of a ship

The game is reccomended, but i really really needs the Dev's to look at the control system (which is difficult for newer players) and work on getting the multiplayer functionality going. Once that's working, it has the potential to be a great game! (take the main kind of mission setup, lower it to a single screen and go from there?)


Edit:

The Singleplayer has been Largley updated from since i last played, with a larger set of ships and more AI in relation to what you do. It's not so easy to buy nations off now. It's looking bleedin good!

I backed this a fair while ago and am quite pleased i have. Its still in a beta and hence many many things will need fixing, tweaking or working on but at the moment its a solid enough game to provide enterainment and is worth your money. Think Terraia, but better. Get it
