Project Zomboid is a game where death is final and happens quite often.īut everything leading up to that death is spectacular. All the progress made with that character, specifically in regards to learning skills, is gone as soon as they die because players then have to make a completely new character. It happens eventually, but unlike other survival crafting sims, death in Project Zomboid comes at a heavy cost. If you play Project Zomboid, your character is going to die. The game opens by saying “there is no hope” and “this is how you died.” Let me tell you right now, it is not joking. It’s not a game where you’ll build something the first time you play and survive the apocalypse with. I know that last sentence sounds grim, but that’s the reality of Project Zomboid. But Project Zomboid is now playable with a decent-sized group of friends, all of whom you will watch die or have to kill yourself. Are there still some bugs and latency issues to sort out? Absolutely. The game blew up in popularity recently though, mainly because of an update that added stable multiplayer. Project Zomboid launched all the way back in 2011 and has effectively been in development for a decade at this point.
