“Turns out it is a real game.
Kind of wish it wasn’t.”
Now that it’s out, however, players are extremely disappointed with the product.
“Turns out it is a real game,” reads one review.
“Kind of wish it wasn’t.”
“The Day Before Refund,” quips another.
This reads unintentionally ironic next to the awful reviews.
I decided to jump into the game myself to get a look at it first hand.
It was not good.
It begins with a very limited character creator with few options, especially for face shape and skin tones.
I then needed to choose a server, with every option listed as being at high capacity.
That’s odd considering the world feels empty and lifeless once you fully arrive.
Weapons can be modded at a work bench.
It all feels quite The Last of Us - there’s even a character called Abby.
Once outside, the already bad performance took a nose dive to practically unplayable.
The frame rate is appalling and pop-in is extensive, even with the city feeling soulless.
Standing atop a car I was literally invincible, the zombie just looking up at me from down below.
I quickly switched it off.
