Project Zomboid is THE best zombie game in my opinion... but when NPCs and what they have planned are finally implemented oh boy, it may be the best survival game ever! Developers aim to make every playthrough like the Walking Dead with dynamic stories, factions, relationships, etc.

NPCs + active animals for hunting. needs optimization in bigger pop servers. almost died today at the mall because of a really really big horde. i was kiting them but its so many, i started lagging, car froze i cant even get out. had to relog, when i got back in, i was surrounded by said horde. i somehow survived, ive no clue how i managed it.

Playing with Mods. Have more traits and I got schizophrenia. LMAO I just got back from a supply run and was sorting out my score... I suddenly got jump scared when a hallucination zombie rushed me. Legit scared me so bad that I took the medication to counter it again completely spacing I already had taken some, nearly died from panicking into a OD. It was legitimately terrifying and hilarious.

[@nickumstead]

I find it a fun game, and the updates are getting better and better. The map is quite large and it makes you feel “alone” in a dead world. Sandbox makes you customize almost any type of zombie apocalypse you want to play. Haven’t played but 5 minutes of multiplayer since my friends don’t own computers so I can’t say much on that but I’m sure it’s a even better game with other people

The Sandbox Settings I'm using now for my SP Save are so incredibly addicting. I turned off all respawning, and maxed out the zombie hearing distances. My characters have began the legacy of fully clearing every last zed from KY. After many dead characters, I have began my journey as the most powerful neckbeard of all time; A severely underweight, weak, out of shape unemployed nerd with crazy bonuses to gaining experience, and the speed at which I do all of my actions. My guy painstakingly gathered enough supplies to hole up in a quiet area and is now deep in the Chad-ification process; doing burpees until I am in agony, slamming some painkillers and perfecting my tailoring to the point of becoming almost completely bite proof. Soon he will step out into the world as a terror to behold. ...And then probably will die in a horrific car accident. lmao

[@jamesodwyer4181]

This game does the organic jump scare perfectly. I was showing my partner the game recently, and thought I was safely looting a house, talking through the basics of getting loot. A downstairs window smashes: successful jump scare. I go downstairs, weapon ready: zombie RIGHT THERE. A second jump scare in less than a minute. There is no properly explaining the catharsis and sense of achievement that comes from taking a crowbar to the face of a zombie that's just jump-scared you XD

[@getemguapo_tv]

Yoo so true.. Such a good feeling to take out the zed that jump scared you for no reason whatsoever 😂

[@arturnotyourbusinessyoutub1294]

I stoped playing this game cuz it was going to kill me. Seriously. The amount of constant tension is just insane.

[@MildarValsik]

The second game to actually scary me. First game was 7 days to die. Everything was fine. At night not hearing anything near me I turn around and it's a "zombie bear" the sound it made was creepy. Then the second is Project zomboid. Ever tree movement makes me ready up. The random sounds gets thinking I'm outside my own house (lives in Tennessee). So I know what the screech owl is yet still gets me. I have my zombieland like rules now. Yet in the beginning houses are death traps if you aren't clearing the outside first and keeping your ears open. You hear something you best leave and have two exits. I'm never without checking a 360 area every couple of minutes.

[@justusmoritz3199]

I fucking love this game, but i also pisses me off an incredible amount. I got scratched once by a zombie on my hand, I then walk around until I gather some loot and make a base, then I start to get unpleasantly hot, nauseas, then I turn into a zombie, one scratch, this game is hardcore and that's why I love it.

[@Drie_Kleuren]

Yeah I always play sandbox settings and I turn zombie infection for saliva only.... I like to delete my safefile when I die to make it more realistic. I dont really like the random chance. Yes it makes it more that every hit can be dangerous but I also dont like the chance factor. Its like you get unlucky and you die. Idk, I like to know that I am going to die when I get bitten. If I survive the first moments after a bite and not die right away I usually just head home to base/safety and make a last stand and just fight till I am dead or just let the infection take over me. One time I was bitten and I look my shotgun and 20 boxes and went to louisville and just started shooting. It was so fun because I knew I was dead anyway. And this is my goodbye to the world before I die for good....

[@fnutarf2085]

Let's not forget that half of any game is the ambiance and music, something I believe that project zomboid has nailed: occasianally you may hear death screams, shots dogs barking etc. and they actually draw zombies in. Furthermore, the music will now change in intensity dependent on your situation, if you are alone, facing zombies or facing an entire zombie horde.

[@NotScrakes]

There is this mod on the steam workshop called the “schizophrenia mod” that acts as a negative trait. It makes you hear random things that don’t actually happen in the game, while also making you hallucinate zombies. Pretty terrifying and I recommend it

[@Akapulko]

i firmly believe that Project Zomboid falls into the same category together with Rimworld, Stardew Valley, Kenshi, Papers Please and Fallout New Vegas for world's perfect games those might be my personal opinions but i also believe its true, maybe not all of them, but atleast 4 are perfect... they are perfect in their own ways... Project Zomboid mastered the idea of a post apocalypse zombie survival game, with the player base also creating content for the game Rimworld has strong colony management survival elements, and same with PZ, the player base actively works on creating mods for the game Stardew Valley is memorable and very fun considering what its about, you most likely know what the game is, basically a farming adventure survival game, with the game being perfect even without any mods, its a simple game for when you're bored but also want to chill instead of worrying about a game Kenshi has strong post apocalypse survival elements and its ruthless to the player, its a mix between PZ and Rimworld, where you can start as a wanderer trying to survive in a destroyed world, you start as a slave trying to escape from captivity and explore the world, or as any of the default or custom made scenarios... in Kenshi you're not special, you're not some kind of hero that will save the day... you are worthless, its up to you to decide if you will stay that way or if you will build a strong settlement and change the world, for better or for worse Papers Please is one of those games that makes you think "wow... this is amazing...", its very enjoyable and memorable, the characters are interesting and the gameplay is enjoyable, surprising since all you do is look through documents and use stamps... it has some moral dilemmas and emotional moments, but i guess thats what makes it special FNV is one of the if not THE best Fallout game, it has everything you might need in a game like Fallout, the story is intriguing, the factions are interesting, the NPCs are memorable and well written, and the gameplay is top notch... i just thought i should explain the reasons for why i felt like these games were perfect, i certainly recommend Kenshi to anyone that likes PZ or Rimworld, as it is one of my favorite games of all time

I baught this game like 2 months ago. I have over 200ish hours into this and I love this game. The zombies are perfect the way they are is just amazing. Its so simple but it works perfect. You can feel safe but you never truly are. Even if you destroy stairs and its impossible for zombies to reach you they can still mass migrate past your place via meta events or when a helicopter comes (if you have it spawn more then once) also the zombies NEVER give up. If you leave 1 zombie long enough it will bonk on your walls/doors forever untill it breaks. And the sandbox settings are amazing. You can tune so many settings and make it just how you want. When I started I had population on 0.8 I also gave myself 10 bonus points to spend on traits. The traits and occupation system is great. It works very well. But I wish some negative perks where a bit more negative. There are some perks what is just free points and its fine but it also makes it that I always pick that. Overall the game is a 8.5 out of 10 for me. I wish it had some small improvements but there isnt a giant think that bothers me.

The modding community is also insane. Firegardens collection of mods literally overhauls the game in every aspect and adds in like 10 new cities that was made by the community.

Had a nice start on Apoc mode recently. Spawned in police station in Rosewood. Headed to the Fire Station, which was pretty clear of Zeds. Found about 7-8 fireaxes (as lumberjack) and a sledge. Settled down for a few days. Managed to clear almost all of the high street, from Police Station to Gas Station, with one Molly. Next day, I headed to the the book store to get all the books, fully armed in Fire Fighter gear + axe. Headed upto the apartments to watch a mid day tv show. On the way up there was a single zed hanging on top of the stairs in the blind spot between floors. After burning up 100+ zeds I got bitten by 1 sneaky fecker, game over. That's PZ. It punishes complacency and stupid things such as running up stairs. It's not the hordes that get you, it's the loner Zombies that you fail to see/hear or think they will be easy kill. My next game, I start in Muldraugh. I am stuck in the gated residential area and unable to find weapons or a vehicle. I am able to make spears after finding a cleaver and dismantling beds with the low condition screw driver. Although the start was rough, I was forced to change my game and focus on tasks such as ripping and padding clothes. This experience made me a much better player and encouraged me to use new weapons such as crafted spears rather than axes. Finding a crowbar them became not another crowbar, but instead a luxury item. This makes PZ a unique experience every spawn as you never know where you will start and what items will be available, especially in Apoc mode. Awesome game.

The graphics allows for the much much greater depth of the game. It excites me even after my first 500 hours in game and 300 in PVE multiple player. The learning curve is steep and brings back that old gaming style of gluten for punishment. Making you realize "THIS ISN'T A FPS GAME" you don't automatically change a clip and reload 7 bullets in the same amount of time it takes for a quick change. No it's not run and gun. Every bullet is counted for. 30 rounds to make a full mag. Shoot 7 you got 23 left if you change mags. Yes you got a full 30 now but that clip of 23 is now in your inventory. The zombies can hear your gun shots. That's a fast way to make friends of the dead. They also hear your footsteps and looting (at lest i think so for looting.). This game you need to think in terms of how realistic a real zombie apocalypse could be.

[@avaliausd.]

Let's not forget how satisfying the melee combat is. The characters swing so realistically and you feel the weight and impact of your bat or pipe smacking the zombie in the head.

The games story is to try and place the players mind in the game of how they might react in that scenario.

I'm making me.... this will be fun... little do we know "it's not going to be easy". Then as you die in game you realize... "well damn they nailed me [this is how YOU died]. LATER on I realized some thoughts of realism. Not only is running over zombies a bad idea for condition of a vehicle. Imagine after hitting a few how the tires and undercarriage of the car would react to a few dead bodies. BINGO no wonder why it's hard to push over 4 or more.

You aren't kidding about the overconfidence! I'm a few hundred hours in and started VERY nervously. I would freak out at one zombie and panic and immediately trip up- I finally get to the point that I can take on small hoards and clear residential areas, so I clear a street and I'm casually looting a house. I go through every room, pushing on the doors to trigger banging so I don't get jump scared, and the bedroom door (situated right in front of a railing, effectively cornering me in) has some banging. I literally say out loud to an empty room "alright, I can definitely handle one zombie" and I kid you not, 7 zombies come piling out of the door. I don't know HOW I got away but I left with two bites and had to secure an easier time for my next doomed life. Lasted 14 days- the longest I'd ever gone bar none. Now, of course, the cycle resets and I am afraid of opening doors again haha. Best game ever.

I bought this game when I was in high school, now I have two degrees and no job and I'm still waiting for it's launch.

[@PromisedTriggeringExcalibait]

I slept on picking up this game for years because of the graphics, but eventually seen enough to give it a try recently.

[@leadfarmer4058]

I always imagined being run down by a huge horde of zombies in a game, never got that, except when I got this game, 300 hours so far and many more to come

[@Popirnot]

How do you waste 300 hours of your life to this and not feel an immense sadness, is beyond me.

[@leadfarmer4058]

@@Popirnot cry about it, I work and do things in my life, I've owned this game for years and I only have 300 hours on it, so by logic I've been playing sparingly, anything else to say or are u here to just be a dick?

[@asdawasda]

@@Popirnot are you gonna elaborate what is bad about the game? All I've seen you do is go around the comments and tell people the game sucks, but never once said why it's bad.

Play cataclysm dark days ahead, the big brother of pz

[@TotallyNotPC]

You haven’t even looked at the music mechanics in the game, Like how the music will get more intense the more zombies there are, making the fight more intense Or when you are at low health and even if there is a small amount of zombies it will play the more intense music making you feel like you are still up against the odds because of the low health and/or broken bones ^^

[@Blaze05100]

The Sims 1 like graphics is one reason i started playing this game. I Just love the graphics.

[@Kolljak]

And its only getting better. the devs 2 years into development had their office robbed and had to start over. can't wait to see the AI they plan to add.

[@mikehunt3420]

The LA Noir background tune was a nice touch

[@zacquinn]

Nah it was some random copyright free background music I added (I edited this video)

[@NotScrakes]

@@zacquinn which in 1 part of the video was la noire music lmfaooo

[@lopiklop]

The fact that it looked like "The Sims" is one of the main reasons I was drawn to this. Definitely not the reason I stayed.

[@Geschichti]

I remember when i first discovered this game in 2011/2012 when it was an playable alpha and i loved it from the first minute, fast forward 10 fucking years and it became what i wanted when i played it back then.

[@joshmay6003]

Subbed as soon as you called out Cubeworld. Its the first game that ever broke my heart

[@affsteak3530]

Single zombies are hilarious. Being surrounded by ten is terrifying. This game is fantastic at teaching situational awareness.

[@kyradflinko62]

What I love about project zomboid compared to other zombie games. Others: Eat, Sleep, Loot. Repeat the same thing confidently knowing that those zombies can't form a horde and just chase you around. PZ: Eats burnt bacon, ends up getting depressed and die in 2 minutes.

[@dgcYtube]

I think best zombie games are the old ones having zombies as one monster beside many others. That configuration creates something more interesting.

[@tomatosandpotatos]

PZ really says "overconfidence is a slow, insideuos killer"

[@Blorkion64]

The original Dead Rising and RE4 are my favorite zombie games of all time. Just my personal opinion. But I was a teenager when they came out and grew up with them. It was cool watching the whole zombie trend flourish there for a while. With Dawn of The Dead's Johnny Cash intro and The Walking Dead on TV 📺🧟‍♂️ those were good times.

[@gphunter21]

Cube world, now that's name I haven't heard in a long time.

[@Water-rg7gp]

the fact that i recognized rosewood as soon as you showed it on screen

[@NotScrakes]

Rosewood is the goated town, whenever I go there, I always want to take on the prison

[@Water-rg7gp]

@@NotScrakes ive singlehandedly cleared the prison a few times, all you need is a good plan a car and some supplies from the fire department and the police station.

[@oofm4n281]

I saw a comparison between Left 4 Dead and back 4 blood. It made me cry internally, so much that I had to be hospitalized.

[@ryank5oo]

Another surprising feature in the game I found out... the hard way, or 2 I suppose. First, making a campfire on a wooden floor will cause fire to spread, probably could have guess that though but more surprisingly, downstairs underneath the campfire with a cupboard with loads of bourbon and wine and once that ignited half the bar exploded and went up in flames, good times

[@Engineer_Eric_59]

Thank you for posting. This sold me on the game. Thank you!

[@crankthatgangyoutubechanne4390]

Your welcome Eric.

[@lorenzmaut3708]

The game is like if you were able to create your own the walking dead show, like people in multiplayer are going to lie about getting bitten and tell that behind the bandage is a laceration, then they would drink bleach behind your back and kill you as a zombie just because they want to restart the server. i found really unique that there is no way to have protection against 2-4 zombies pulling you down to the ground, also do you know that if you get sick the character makes sounds, and those sounds alert zombies, or that is almost imposible to gain weight eating vegetables, you need to eat in a rational way or you are going to get fat, also even drinking one single drop of bleach is going to kill you.

[@illusiveaxeman9164]

I personally *adore* the graphics of the game. I think that's probably cause of its aesthetic similarities to the first Silent Hill game.

[@avaliausd.]

YES! The simplistic graphics is what really brings the aesthetic together. I don't think a game like this can provoke the same atmosphere with high resolution, Dying Light 2 level graphics. If there is one thing I can say about indie developers, they know how to work the simplist graphic engines into Davinci-level works of art.

[@MrChangeordie]

I totally agree 👍 I just bought this game and LOVE IT!

[@kasim12341kasim]

if zomboid had state of decay type gameplay i would be all over it

[@RainyKingpin]

thank you for your time.

[@globaled1694]

theres no feeling quite like running out of a town at mach 13 because you just shot a gun and every zombie within a 10 mile radius is on their way

“You will not make it past week one with sprinters coming at you” challenge accepted

It depends on how many hours in game play you've had before trying sprinters. So what was the outcome?

It doesn't happen often, but this video actually made me laugh out loud. Like and sub well earned.

[@TheBruheak]

Projekt Zombruh

[@dra6o0n]

It would be interesting if NPC becomes available one day and players decided to make use of it to make a MMO where safe zones exists in multiple areas, but are controlled by faction leaders, and players can align with them, like Fallout style of world building. And then the player engages with other players to co-operate or dominate the server. This requires the server to be very stable and offer a player capacity of like 64 or something, and modding and tools to manage safe settlements... Like for instance military outposts full of NPCs at the outskirt of town where low zombies spawns, and gunshots won't bring a horde in and all that. Turn the game into like a 'STALKER' type game basically where all the wealth and riches are in the dense cityscape.

[@eda230bbs2]

Honestly at first glance the graphics was the thing that sold it for me, I love the old zombie model
