Thats a zombie game?
Sure feels more like 4 demigods running through a swarm of insects.
It depends on perspective, I think. To me, yes. I've been wanting something like PZ for many many years, and I don't think I'm alone in that. Zombie games are saturated, but "realistic" (in the terms of survival mechanics, depth, the world and the zombies themselves) zombie games are very far and few between. A lot of them try to be FPS games, and die very quickly because the scope of being both an FPS with that amount of depth is not easy. There has to be a sacrifice somewhere. PZ meets in a middle ground of depth and visuals, opposed to C:DDA which sacrifices visuals almost completely for insane depth, and opposed to DayZ or State of Decay which sacrifices depth for graphics and visual representation of actions.
I'm probably not alone in this either: In, 2008 I had an obsession with searching "3D realistic zombie FPS games", which is pretty generic as it goes now, however, I came across a game called "Z Day" (since abandoned) and frequented the forums, which I thought would be my dream game with all they talked about. Don't think any form of release ever came out, because scope of that is harder to do in an FPS, as numerous other games have proven during PZ's existence. Also, it's hard to even find a trace of that game anywhere now and it keeps correcting me to DayZ when I search it.
The fact that since 2011 PZ has stuck with "This Is How You Died" was commendable to me. The rigidity of not being swayed into turning into another zombie game kept me coming back to it; I was always worried that it would lose its focus of the game it wanted to be just to be accessible to players, and add stuff like special zombies, or a cure to "fit in".
Anyway, after all that, I found PZ from Paulsoaresjr, and was . . . not exactly super sold on it for a while because of the alien looking zombies and obviously wanting something looking realistic, but I caved eventually for €5 and the rest is, well, not history. Present.
So: to some, yes, to others, no. Infection Free Zone is probably the only game in all of this that I feel is on par with PZ, can't say anything impressed me enough to keep my attention as PZ ever did, except IFZ. And I mean that when I say I've tried them all. From Dead Maze, to HumanitZ, there was never a hook that felt unique enough to make me want to come back.
While there are more scary Games
in terms of nice mix of Chill and Intense
and strategy aswell as mechanical skill.
Its the best in the field.
Strategy based Zombie games, i only played a few, Rebuild when it was on gaming websites being host. I really like the concept of that it was rather basic, but enjoyable and memorable.
Like there are major players in Zombie field including Resident Evil remakes, which ofc are more horrifying and detailed, but its a differn't genre because its about completing the story.
While games like Dead Frontier the old games, were good enough to hook me in my younger years. And i paid membership for that twice, and was gifted membership by another player once. And that game was good.
Running around with chainsaws trying to travel the map, and get to the harder to survive regions for the increased exp and loot drop on zombies and inside buildings.
I saw that when it went from 2D top down, to 3D top down, then they went to first person and i didn't play it anymore.
Soft Core Zombies plants vs Zombies. Was good but it is not replayable.
Red Dead Redemption did zombies it was good. Also SAS zombie assault was good. however its really bad when i play it now. Like the one on steam is god awful. Art is great
but it is god awful to play. Slow. Its slow. And thats part of the thing u are slow in that game. and its just not as good as the older SAS the free ones from NinjaKiwi and Miniclip
