Zombaliens is a criminally underrated Immersive Sim/Boomer Shooter. The art style feels like a early 2000s adult swim cartoon mixed in with ps1/ps2 style graphics. This game feels like Deus Ex/Thief mixed with Left 4 Dead and it's great. The game play consists of you saving humans and carefully going through each level dispatching of any enemy threats in your way. The weapons feel pretty great, guns are punchy and have satisfying sounds. The stealth mechanics are pretty well implemented as well, though I feel as if the security cameras are kinda a bit finicky/stingy. Otherwise it's a very good experience. Definitely hope this game gets finished one day as even with two episodes i'd still recommend this in a heart beat. Don't sleep on this gem.

the fact that this game (counting from the itch version) has been out for four years and only has eight reviews is criminal. sure, it looks rough, but who gives a ♥♥♥♥ when it plays this good. somehow finds the perfect middle ground between duke nukem 3D and thief/deus ex. delivers on every front when it says its imsim meets retro fps. hardcore, immersive, brilliant level design, and generally just a wonderful time.
