Superb experience that uses the stealth / action genre to it's best abilities. Launch was a little rough but the dev really massaged it over the past few years making it one of the best in the genre.
Generation Zero is an absolute masterpiece ****! From the stunningly detailed open world to the exhilarating combat mechanics, it's a gaming experience that's truly unparalleled. The Scandinavian landscape is beautifully recreated, making exploration a joy in itself. The game's unique premise of battling hostile machines in a post-apocalyptic 1980s Sweden is refreshingly inventive.
What truly sets Generation Zero apart is its cooperative gameplay – teaming up with friends to outsmart and outgun these mechanical foes is incredibly satisfying. The strategic depth in planning and executing attacks keeps you on the edge of your seat, and the sense of accomplishment when you triumph over your metallic adversaries is unbeatable.
The attention to detail in the game world is astounding, from the eerily abandoned houses to the intricate machine designs. The sound design immerses you in the tension-filled atmosphere, enhancing the overall experience.
With frequent updates and an engaged developer community, Generation Zero continuously evolves, ensuring that you'll never run out of challenges. Whether you're a solo player or enjoy co-op action, this game offers endless thrills, making it a must-have for any gaming enthusiast. Generation Zero is a true gem in the gaming world, setting a new standard for open-world shooters!
A good example of "good enough". Nothing in this package stands out as being awesome or innovative, but it is a complete and functioning package that is good enough. I'd say the story is quite forgettable, but the gameplay is decent though the gunplay may be a bit simple. Spending 40+ hours to complete the base game main quest and most side quests, for the quality that it provides, I found it to be a bit too long. I'd say it would be a bit boring solo, and would recommend playing this with a friend.
Graphics look out of the arc and it doesn't run well for what it is rendering. I got bored early on shooting dog bot after dog bot. Survival and stealth mechanics formulaic. Visually, narratively, gameplay wise nothing stands out. I'ts all kind of meh.
With Generation Zero, Avalanche tried to build an enormous playground (as they always do) but the twist? There is nothing in that playground worth playing.
