Excellent driving simulator. Thumbs up.

Fantastic survival game!
No zombies, no enemy soldiers, no aliens or vampires. Your adversary here is the cold and scarcity of food.
A wonderful expansive environment awaits your exploration if you survive long enough to find/craft some decent clothing.
You'll feel the panic rise as you get totally disoriented in a heavy snow storm.
You'll feel elation as you snare your first rabbit.
You'll feel terror as a bear charges you.
You'll feel relief as you make it home to your warm cabin after a long day scavenging carcasses.
This game is so brilliantly balanced that you never feel cheated, but survival is tough. You need to plan your outings into the cold, and make the most of the daylight hours to attend to your immediate needs, when things work out it's hugely satisfying, and when they don't your situation can become dire, but there are plenty of resources to aid you if you're determined to live.
The UI works untuitively and quickly whilst leaving the screen uncluttered, I play with an xbox controller and everything is fast and easy. Mouse and keyboard works well too.
The Audio is worth special mention - The distant cries of wolves, the howling wind, the creaking of your cabin and the crunching of the snow are wonderfully rendered and the immersion and atmosphere created by the soundscape is really something special.
The game is 'Early access' and things are being added, the devs seem to care very much about their product, are open to suggestions so I believe the game will only get better, but just as it is now is worth your pennies.
Buy this game, you'll love it.

Review of early access paid version with all tables.

Fans of 70s and 80s pinball are gonna love this.
Great physics, beautifully recreated tables, and huge configurability from Devs who engage with the community and respond quickly to requests and bug reports.
'Early access' but it's already in a fully playable and polished state, a few minor bugs still present if you look hard but the devs are fixing those and adding improvements fast.
The nudge system could do with a little work and the slingshot triggers are too sensitive, but other than that I can't think of any negatives for this wonderful simulation.
Try it, then buy it all.

So far I've only played through a few hours of the story mode so this review relates to that. I'm looking forward to trying race mode later.

I always have a nostalgic hankering for a decent top down driving game but am usually disappointed. Zombie Driver HD however is fantastic fun.. Rich environments much of which you can destroy, engaging story, awesome voice acting (in the best B movie tradition), convincing hoards that can swamp you if you're careless, great explosive visual effects, quality audio and HUGE zombie bodycounts.

While you are required to develop a certain amount of driving skill it should'nt be too frustrating for novices of the top down style. missions can be completed at a slower pace, sticking to the streets but don't worry about leaving the road, the maps are sensibly designed so you don't constantly get stuck on scenery or in dead ends. As you become skilled with the handbrake you'll be pulling donuts and rail gunning through hundreds of bloody undead.

The different vehicles work well and purchaseable upgrades mean you're always tempted to stray from the mission to grab extra cash found around the city.

The atmosphere created in the game is great, weather changes, night time lighting, the army presence, shadows of jet fighters roaring overhead, vehicle getting covered in blood and a constant tension created by time critical mission elements all add the feel of this great little game.

One thing I would like added is the ability to move the camera a little to scan the environment. Playing with an xbox controller this seems untuitively what the second stick should be used for, although it's arguable that you shouldn't be able to see much further than the street you're driving in.

So in my opinion the developers have done a great job of creating a top down driving game set in a zombie apocalypse, if that sounds like something you need, you should probably grab it in a sale like I did, or at full price if you're feeling flush.

FUN.

As someone who came here from the eighties without hacking time, I can't recommend this hyper-action movie enough.
Reward your tedious life with half an hour of awesome.

Love the Pinball Arcade, so glad it's come to Steam. Well worth the money for these excellent tables. Recommended for anyone who has a passing interest in pinball and the superbly designed real world pins you may have played in the past.
