The new survival game VEIN looks awesome with intelligent AI and interactions with nearly everything

  I’ve been playing Vein lately and it’s great. It’s basically a 3D version of Project Zomboid, openly taking a ton of direct inspiration from that game.

  It has a lot of rough edges due to how early in development it is, but it’s improving rapidly with each update. The skeleton of systems already in place are genuinely impressive, and if it continues on its current trajectory it might one day rival PZ as the definitive realistic zombie survival game.

  The one thing I hate is its current zombie spawning model, with new ones appearing too fast and too close to the player or in empty rooms they couldn’t possibly get into. You can be exploring a medium sized building and by the time you’re in the second half, zombies will already be banging on the doors of rooms you just cleared in the first.

  It’s also way too easy on the default difficulty right now, but that’s mostly due to how much more control you have in combat compared to Project Zomboid. It’s trivial to go for the head with every attack, for example.

  I highly recommend checking it out. The demo is the same as the full game, just with a limit on the area of the map you can explore and the maximum skill level you can achieve.
