Project Zomboid is an upcoming survival video game developed by British and Canadian independent developer The Indie Stone.

I have played PZ since it's release, I have close to 3000 hours in the game but most of that time isn't recorded on steam. It's a fun game and you should try it. But I'm still going to leave a negative review. Why? Let's delve in. This game has been in Early access for over 12 years, the devs have made millions in sales, that in itself is not a problem as long as the game is being…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a former employee of The Indie Stone who worked on the game for 5 years, it appears this company is in the midst of a major restructuring. Several senior members of the team who have been present for years, and contributed major aspects to the game's current design, have been let go in quick succession, under the purview of a small group of recently-hired developers from the AAA industry that were brought on. I believe the purpose of this restructuring is to make the company leaner and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is the equivalent of key lime pie. The people I know who played it are split about 50/50 on whether or not they love it or actively dislike it. I believe it is truly one of the greatest games ever made (and continues to be made). The issue, I believe, lies in the fact that this game is a "story generator," much like Rimworld. It could be illustrated as the difference between playing with legos or playing a board game. There are no points, and there is no point. To give an…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →-- There are alot bad things to say about that game, but then again, im still here. -- Took me a while to get this review started, since i've always felt not ready enough to give the review it deserves. Even after 10k+ Hours... what, you dont know what i mean? So, uhm... i better start with this: - learning curve : After the first 100 Hours you think you are pro, but your next death reminds you, that you barely got out the tutorial. 1k+ Hours & you think you are getting the hang of it, but…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Often times I worry I will not live long enough to see the full release of this game. I am twenty-six years old.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Anyway new topic. For no particular reason, what's your favorite game where sandbox-style play generates stories for you to tell your friends? Thinking of everything from Dwarf Fortress, to Project Zomboid, to Kerbal, to CK2, to Darkest Dungeon, or even the old X-COM 2 streams Rob and I did.
unlabelledView post →I've been following Project Zomboid since the very beginning, but after over 10 years in Early Access, I can no longer recommend or support this game. The developers have had more than enough time to deliver a complete, compelling experience, yet the game still feels like an unfinished skeleton held together almost entirely by the modding community. The base game has grown stale. Without mods, there's simply not enough meaningful content, depth, or fresh gameplay to keep it interesting…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →remember watching walking dead years ago and thinking to yourself, what would i do in that situation? well this is it. and its sick
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So many half baked, forgotten, or other wise abandoned features its insane. Current """"""""""stable"""""""""""" build is a mess, even after 5 years of "internal QC", "Third party firm QC", and beta test branches. Modders are keeping this game playable, IE the ladder climbing mod as the current build overhauled the entire map with broken buildings and nonfunctional ladders; and the mod that turns the 20kg anvil that's been in the game for years that (somehow) does not function as an anvil with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LOVE THE GAME, HATE THE DEV Has the best mechanics of any zombie survival game and will hands down take up more of my time to come. There is a learning curve and you will consider refunding the game. It is not the game it is your fault. you're running too much and making bad choices. The game is so realistic that you need to think through your actions and plan ahead every step of the way. Love the game BUT This game is nothing without the moding community. This game will never come out of…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Started development in 2011, hit Steam in 2013, and here we are in 2026, still in early access. At this point, it’s less like buying a game and more like investing in a family heirloom. Can’t wait for my grandkids to log in one day and enjoy the exact same early access I paid for.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool zombie game. Might need to sink in a couple more hours to get the grasp of it. Edit cause reddit: Yes, I quit the game when Im done playing. No, these aren't 'farmed' hours! Cheers and happy zomboiding.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Woke up at 4 am, grabbed my baseball bat and headed to the nearest fire station. Beat some firefighters to take their clothes and took a handgun from one of the lockers, firing at anything that moved on the way back home. Then I got to play project zomboid. 10/10

(No, Seriously, You Will) Recommended | Playtime: 12 minutes in this life, 400 hours total Welcome to Project Zomboid, the only game where your ultimate cause of death will be "I opened a bathroom door" or "I tried to eat a bowl of soup while mildly depressed." If you are a new player looking at this game thinking, "Oh cool, a fun little zombie survival game where I can build a base and smash some heads," turn back now. Or rather, brace yourself. This game doesn’t…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →======> GAMEPLAY <====== At first, I was completely obsessed with this game. I spent hours upon hours playing through it, both solo and with friends. As we learned how to survive and last longer, we began to understand the game’s systems and mechanics more deeply. However, the more experienced we became, the more we noticed the lack of engaging endgame content. The early stages are enjoyable—grinding, looting, clearing areas—but once you fully understand the core mechanics, the excitement…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(Build 42 review) Project Zomboid could be the most immersive zombie survival game out there, and it does feel very thrilling to play, at least initially. They nailed the atmosphere, the earlygame struggle and the moments of respite when you finally find a safe place to spend the night, or when you start setting up a base. There's also some mods and it's a decent Co-op game. It has a large map, and certainly enough content to entertain you for more than a hundred hours. It doesn't have great…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Project Zomboid is a fun game and a great multiplayer experience, but the state of the game and the intentions of the developers lead me to not recommend it. Zomboid is NOT an "early access" game. It has been in development for over a decade, it has merchandise, and its developers are clearly showing disinterest in working on it anymore. The early access tag was slapped onto the game because the developers don't comprehend that you can have a full release for a game and keep updating it, so…

I was in highschool when this game released, I've gone to college, been well into my career now , married, all my friends are getting married and having kids, and i'm buying my first home, yet this game still hasn't fully released. Its estimated that 11.8-22.5 million people own a copy of this game even basing it off of taxes the devs pay in and the steam cut for selling the game they still have made over 100Mil and they still use the excuse of being a small dev…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1000+ hours in. I do recommend this game, but you have to make sure that this is the type of game you really want to play. Meaning, this is one of those games you play for 1 hour and never touch again, or you end up spending hours each day, exploring the map and hunting resources while trying to avoid the Zed's. In short, this is an explore/loot/resource/base manager, with zombies.... lots and lots of zombies. Slightly longer, once you manage to surive a week, you should have found a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is hardcore even on the easiest difficulty setting. I died because I had extreme panic inside my own house due to claustrophobia. This prevented me from sleeping, which led to extreme fatigue. I went outside to find some alcohol to calm down, fell asleep on the street, and got eaten. The realism is off the charts. Finally, a game that accurately simulates my life choices.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I left the garage door open AND the door leading into the house. That’s it. That’s the whole story.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you think you're the ultimate survivor and/or can/could survive in a zombie apocalypse, this game is the reality check.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2026 has been absolute blunder in terms of developer transparency, stable branch preservation, and general playability. Devs regularly delete any criticism of build 42, much like they've deleted all previous versions of the game from the Steam library 'beta branches' depo.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's been a big problem in Project Zomboid modding lately where people are vibecoding assets which, in a game with Sims 2 graphics, have an absurd number of polygons. Like bam, a 2 million polygon coffee cup, in a game with again, Sims 2 graphics. www.reddit.com/r/projectzom...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After three dozen hot-wired cars, I finally found one that was working. I got in it, began to drive, and crashed into a invisible mailbox, at like 5 miles an hour, killing my character instantly, ending a 5 month run. 10/10 game, will play again.

Want to kill so much zombies? You can do it here. Want to make a gucci-ass aesthetic farmland-type of mansion with infinite loot? You can do it here. Want to play Sims and/or City Skylines with zombies? You can do it here. Project Zomboid is ahead of its time, even with the restrictions of isometric gameplay, it adds to the factor of jumpscares, FOV and design…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's like "Sims 4" but if it was good. And there's Zombies.... a lot of Zombies. This game has a steep difficulty curve that might frustrate you, but trust me, if you stick with it, it will be more than worth it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Basically its sims, but with zombies. Hope my grandchildren see B43 and NPC.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is another year that I've added this wonderful game to the "Labor of Love Award" category. It's already become a tradition, but this year I wanted to write a review. I can't remember how many years ago I started playing this game, a long time ago, back when the game had a 2D version. But back then, I was scared to play solo :D I'm crazy about the zombie apocalypse genre, and I'm always trying out new projects, both story-driven and sandbox, but Zomboid will always be at the top of my list…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With mods, without mods. With friends, solo, on a server. On the hardest difficulty, on the easiest difficulty. There are near-unending ways to experience Project Zomboid, yet every single one shows you a little more of why this game truly is excellent at EVERY SINGLE THING it sets out to do. An actual blueprint for apocalypse simulator developers everywhere, a true hallmark of genius at inventory management, heat management, skills, combat, maintenance, proactive management of all types. On…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As far as I have played open-world zombie games..this game is the one that always gives the feeling of a true survival game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Leaving a positive review because is it genuinely good. However, do NOT buy this until it is CONFIRMED TO BE COMPLETED. I fear the length of time it is taking for the dev to finish this game is going to permanently keep it from the attention and love it deserves. Like, for 99.9% of video games I legitimately do not care how long it takes for the product to be made ethically and humanely; But you mean to tell me that THIS game is on a similar development cycle to STAR CITIZEN???? A game that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →one of the best Survival Games ever the only cons: -Very long early access phase and still without NPC's hope the devs will work faster and sooner on this feature
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When a game that sold over a million copies stays in such a bad state year after year, you can safely assume that something is wrong. Every time a new update comes out, you hope that this is 'the one'. Maybe this time 'this' will get fixed and 'that' will get improved. But then you see the same incomplete puzzle with pieces shuffled around and a couple new ones hastily glued on top. And - oh no - 500 of your favourite mods are broken again! You get frustrated. Some time passes, you come back…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10. Spawn, sturggle, learn, die, spawn again, die, die, die ,die. Because of previous deaths, you learn new lessons each time. Binged 5 seasons of The Walking Dead while grinding mechanics. Finally stepped outside my base. Sneezed in real life, got bit, and became the 6th season. Perfetto.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have over 500 hours in this game and bought it many years ago. I’ve played it solo, online co-op, LAN co-op, vanilla, and heavily modded, pretty much every way possible, and it has always been fun. It’s one of those games where dying a million times is part of the experience, because that’s how you learn. And just when you think you’ve figured everything out, a new build comes out and gives you even more to discover. No matter how I play it, it never gets old. Easy 10/10.

When I started playing I had two beautiful wives, 13 children, I was making $60K/month selling TF2 skins to 14 year olds - the things that dreams are made of. Now, I've got $27 in my savings account, my wages are garnished, and I buy all my food at five guys on affirm. There aren't even microtransactions in this game, I just can't stomach doing anything else. I wish that someone would intervene at this…

The development pace of this game is infamously horrible, how can a game be in early access for 13 years!? I've gone through high school, gotten my college degree, and found stable employment in the time this game has been in development. The only reason people keep playing this game is because of the modding community, modders are keeping this game alive while the developers scope creep themselves to…

THE BEST purchase u can make

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The closest any game has ever gotten to a true personal Walking Dead experience. Incredible range and depth of features that are based on reality but not too realistic to the point of sacrificing fun. The dev team communicate extremely well, give detailed patch notes that inform the players of everything that changes, and have continued to make this game better and better over the years! Best zombie game you could possibly play! Very highly recommend!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →overall i give this game a 10/10 project zomboid is easily one of the best zombie survival games ever made. it doesn't hold your hand, and every decision matters. whether you're scavenging for food, fortifying a base, or simply trying to survive another day, the game constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat. every death feels like it was your own mistake you could have easily prevented, which makes surviving even more rewarding. what makes project zomboid an amazing game is the amount of…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Project Zomboid is one of those games where people swear it’s the greatest zombie survival experience ever made, but half the time it feels less like surviving the apocalypse and more like working an unpaid full-time job in a dead-end warehouse during a depression. The game starts with: “This is how you died.” And honestly after a few hours your response becomes: “Yeah no ♥♥♥♥.” Everything in this game takes forever. Want to fight zombies?

And my Steam counter probably shows at best one tenth of the actual time I’ve spent in it. Every now and then I would take a break, but usually you don’t really stop until your character survives at least a year. This time I decided to take it more seriously. I thought I’d make a series based on the game, since I’ve been around this whole thing for a long time and I actually have…
