Very fun, very grind heavy, and a load of free customization with dlc not ever being needed!

Support the devs they are amazing :D

Spoiler warning :3

I love this game.
Do drugs, kill a bear.
Screw the NCR (literally?!)
Kill a giant dog.
Capitalism
Literally take over the Mojave.
NUKE LITERALLY EVERYTHING!

This game is fun, buggy, and runs like crap on modern hardware sometimes, but it's a testament to how when people have a passion to create a good game, they make a good game, even with less than a year to create it, the team that made this game created a cult classic, a timeless master piece, and the modders keep it modern and fresh. Buy this game. 10/10.

A core memory!

Its an old rpg game, play it, its fun, only complaint is enemies scale with your level no matter what so you cannot become an immortal god.

Dont ever spend your hard earned cash or your very limited time on this...I guess collage of game mechanics.

Its horrid once you get into it, the game becomes overwhelmingly filled with different systems of upgrades, game mechanics, and worst of all the game itself hardly teaches you how to do half of the things in this game without you needing to look back and check exactly what it said because its so confusing. I know I have a lot of hours and thats because I loved this game, but I never went past the surface of it and that got boring, and now if you try to play this game get ready for new systems and mechanics to slowly drip their way into your daily way of playing this game, until you either spend enough of your time grinding away and grinding away to make the game easier than cutting paper, or enough cash to feed a small island for 3 years.

And as for its community, its got some good people, but dont let that fool you, most of the people in here wont even use their chat box during a mission, you can say hi, you can ask for help, rarely will anyone reply, and its a 50/50 whether its some pretentious snob who thinks they know everything, and when you ask for help reply with short and rude words, quick story time, I asked a guy how he was able to kill this very hard boss (think it was a sortie boss for the people who know) and all he said was "Dont rush through quests, my guy" what the ♥♥♥♥ does that even mean, the quests dont give you god like weaponry and mods, they give you the bare bones ♥♥♥♥ so you have to go and forge the good stuff yourself, and don't even attempt to ask what they mean, they will reply with vague statements such as "know your build" or "armor strip", thanks for the info I already knew and didn't need to be told of again!

Last but not least, the update this game gets seem to shift the player base more and more, I haven't been around for years like some players have but I can easily tell this by checking the steam reviews, DE will probably just up and shoot this game in the foot one too many times and the player base will have enough, or the cult like following some players have to this game will carry it until its servers explode, hell I will probably quit this game long before its even close to falling because of how confused I am when it comes to playing this ♥♥♥♥ anymore.

Either way, I dont care, I just want others to know my experience and my thoughts on this game, feel free to share yours as well.

TL;DR: Game suffers from multiple issues like enemy power creep, too many game mechanics and systems to keep track of, etc, etc.

I changed my mind actually.

While I still do wish the driving was more realistic, and the older cars were a bit more...resilient to minor bumps and hits, overall it's a fair driving game, with a decent amount of cars to pick from, modding is still beyond me right now because when I check the "repository" (this games mod workshop) its just skins and maybe some maps, I've yet to find any mods that create a new vehicle.

And customization on cars is, ok, you aren't free to shove a V8 inside a tiny hatchback, nor to shove an electric motor inside a giant SUV, and the only semi-truck in this game is balls slow even with a fully kitted out engine, I still do find it enjoyable to play with the settings and put my own spin on a car, swap the stock parts with some sport parts and maybe a race part in the engine area, but overall I do wish you could put any part in any car, no matter if it would just shatter the car or make it almost un-derivable.

Oh and also a small guide to tuning your car would be nice, I'm a big advocate when it comes to all the information you need in a game being actually there in game, I don't like opening a Wiki-How or YouTube video every 5 minutes, thankfully most of the stuff in game is pretty self explanatory, but a tuners guide would be nice.

Final rating: 7/10 It could use more love in customization and replicating how different materials react to damage (like how steel should be stronger than plastic or aluminium) but other than that, it's pretty fun, definitely but it if you have the money or it's on sale!!!

When Build 42 comes out I may update this. But right now with so many glaring issues like inconsistent damage, lack of meaningful progression, and so many ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weird unrealistic problems, I honestly don't recommend this game to anyone looking for a causal "zombie slaying" game, this is a niche game, if you're looking for a semi-hardcore semi-realistic zombie survival sandbox game, then go for it, but man I'm so done with the weird stuff in this game, lost a pretty good run cause you can't throw molotovs outside of a window when in a building, then lost another because when you open a car door I guess zombies just phase through it, yea makes sense to me, and before you say "just roll the window down and push them" I did, then another one came up as I got out and bit me, then other two were standing and I was killed, ooh and I can't forget the time I had put awhile into a character and died because entered a vehicle, no im not kidding I got in, heard the door close sound, and INSTANTLY died, not even a chance to fight whatever attacked me, I assume its because a zombie was mid attack when I was entering, and since its animation played and I was stationary, game said "kill him".

Overall, its not a bad game, but it's lost its charm for me, the world feels empty and unrealistically populated with either not enough zomboids in one area or WAY too many in another, looking at you firehouse with 30+ zeds, either way buy and play it if you like weird hardcore zombie games, ill be sticking to the ones where im not punished for trying to have fun.

At the end of the day this is my opinion and if you share a different one, thats fine, I simply don't like this games style anymore.

Not good.

Its not bad but, just not my style, feels clunky and overall to loud.

New update is, cool I guess but, there just isn't a lot of new things, the shotgun change is underwhelming in my opinion, they dont feel anymore powerful than they did before, and destruction is maybe a little better on some surfaces, the new operator is alright but I don't see many people actually understanding how she works, I have seen people use it to break barricades mainly, not vertical play, maybe in time that will change.

But the biggest reason I can't recommend the game rn is cause of trolls ironically enough, once some better reporting features come in, and some fail-safes for certain operators that create aoe fire are made, I don't suggest you play this game without at least a party of 3 or more.
