Audio (★★★★☆)

✔️ Atmospheric soundscape

Story (★★★☆☆)

✔️ Missions are incorporated into the narrative through cutscenes and dialogue with NPCs

❌ Multiple dialogue options are not available

Gameplay (★★★☆☆)

✔️ A mashup of game elements (Survival MMO, item-crafting, skill-upgrading, cooking, farming, world exploration game mechanics)

✔️ You have the choice of becoming either a human or a half-zombie survivor

✔️ Extensive character and pet customization

✔️ Close resemblance to The Sims, Rules of Survival, Ark and Last Day on Earth

✔️ A guided gameplay session is provided

✔️ You have to craft everything (From weapons to food)

✔️ Zombies appear at night (You’ve got to defend your manor)

✔️ PVE and PVP zones available

✔️ Multiple jobs to choose from

❌ It can be rather glitchy and laggy at times

❌ Clunky aiming and shooting mechanics

❌ Resource grinding is repetitive

Graphics (★★★☆☆)

✔️ Stunning 3D art style

✔️ Realistic environmental design

❌ Cluttered UI interface

❌ Some combat animations are lacking

Verdict (★★★★★★☆☆☆☆)

Although the game may possess stunning graphics, it still can’t seem to scratch the itch that I’d love it to. Sure, I may not be a fan of The Sims and the like, but building and upgrading my own manor may offer a sense of accomplishment but doesn’t seem to go far.

Still, if you happen to be into a whole lot of post-apocalypse games with more complex mechanics, this game would be right up your alley! What’s more, the ingenuity of the gameplay experience is more than sufficient to make up for its underwelming narrative.
