Comment on The massive Project Zomboid Build 42 is out now

I may not consider it to be my “favorite” game if you asked me, but I wouldn’t be surprised to find that I have sunk the most hours into this game.
This is a great farming survival simulator with zombies. 10/10.
If you haven’t played it, but love survival sims and zombies, this one gets the atmosphere right.

Imho. Project Zomboid is THE ultimate zombie-game. The atmosphere is perfect.
You’re being introduced to the game with “There was no hope of survival. This is how you died.” Because you likely ARE going to die.
You become overconfident and then get bit by a group of four undead who suddenly come at you from behind in a bathroom. Or you get trapped in a skyscraper by a horde that came running when the house-alarm went off. Or you die because the piece of shit car you are driving just won’t start anymore stranding you, exhausted and wounded, in front of the ever advancing horde. Or you fall from a roof. Or you cut yourself when jumping through a window. Or you just looted a watch and it had an alarm set that goes off right when you try to sneak by some zombies.
A single Zombie is seldom a threat (though it still can be) but their numbers are just too damn high and they never stop following you, while you become hungry, tired and exhausted. Then the water stops working and the power goes out and suddenly you have to survive by scavanging until you are able to set up a safe base where you can collect rainwater and start agriculture… or maybe you become a nomad, always one step ahead of the Zeds and scrounging for the little food left from before the apocalypse that hasn’t rotted away yet…
It is the perfect “The Walking Dead”-experience in single- as well as multiplayer.
Project Zomboid is one of my favorite games and it is the zombie-survival-game that all the other games in that genre are measured against.

I love the vibe, I hate re-leveling all my skills.

You can use a journal to save your xp. Just read it after you die.

Oh now that’s a handy mod.

I agree with everything here, and I haven’t found any other zombie themed game that could match it as “the ultimate zombie-game”!

It just made me depressed because I tried to play this for four hours straight and just felt like there was too much to understand about the rules and gave up.
Which is a sign that I will absolutely die in a real zombie apocalypse.
