Nope. Linear story, but lots of fun. People are reporting anywhere from 8 to 20 hours that I've seen.

it is because there is no open world the game is fun.
Resident evil, Silent Hill, Alone in the dark ect... no open world.

Not sure I'd say that, "Dying Light", "State of Decay", "Dead Island", and "Dead Rising" were all open world and still brought the fun. It's personal preference.

I might agrre though that the non-open world games are more focussed and can deliver the scares.

It is generally open world in that you can travel around back to places you went to before, more like Resident Evil, but it's not like a big city or area or anything like State of Decay or Dying Light.

Thanks for that response. That convincs me to save my money.

Only Ubi would be dumb enough to take a permadeath mechanic and insert it into a story driven game. Though I guess they could have done it well, them being Ubi I strongly suspect otherwise.

could have have been a great Sandbox experience, but, well, its Ubi.

Get Ubi to Disappointment.

you express the word "ubi" like a sheep

There was a time before the great pewdepie. Mysterious scholars tell us from a time that was not minecraft. Where survival ment to survive with a limited amount of ressources in an hostile envoirement. But those times have long past, as we now discover them once again, carved in weather-beaten pc cases that where discovered at ancient lan-party sites.

Oh the glorious days of things such as Darksun. Hell even Oregon Trail had more survival to it then alot of todays games lol

Damn. There should really be a stickied thread explaining what this game is and isn't. I can't believe how many people can't grasp its concept.

The confused reaction to ZOMBI really shows how prevalent those early access Sandbox Survival games have become. It seems a whole generation of players now associates "Zombies" with any kind of DayZ or Minecraft clone.

Its really curious. Nobody wondered what Alien: Isolation was supposed to be. Or Bioshock Infinite. Simply add Zombies into your Singleplayer Game and modern PC users can't handle it.

Pretty much that. Steam has been swarmed with sandbox zombie survival titles. Mostly for two reasons: They're relatively easy to make. Take a map, add players, add some creatures with bad ai. Some generic crafting and resources with hunger meters and call it a survival game. Also, stay on top of the steam storepage because the one guy that plays it will talk all his friends into it because 'it's really hardcore guys and together we can totaly rock all that noobs'.

Not all of them are bad, Rust for example evolved into something better. But most of them just aren't survival but rather grief'n grind games.

I have this on the WiiU as well It's just alot of games have come out since then when referring to this particular release. If I didn't already own it I'd feel different. The game is still a survival game sure and of course not open world. Games like this to me almost feel like a beta of sorts in that everytime a few years later you get a very similar game just with everything you wanted. This is almost always due in that people like Ubisoft tend to push out their releases as quick as they can. There's many examples to give if needed.

NOT SANDBOX! Learn your gaming term please. Sandbox as in ability to build part of the game to your liking, garys mod, if any of the games mentioned had a system of building building and shot then it would be sandbox. There is only one open world sandbox zombie game and that is PZ Project Zomboid. All other mentioned here are just open-world but not sandbox in anyway.
