I'm sorry for all the people spreading hate for this game because it came out with some broken mission and unpolished stuff but it's not fair to keep being so angry at this small studio just because the game is not perfect. They're working hard to develop the game further and polish everything, give the guys some support and have faith or it will just become a forgotten jem for the future.… Expand

    My friend recommend the game to me and for once I decided to take him for his word and buy the game.
    In Generation Zero, I found the combat to have solid depth with the added tactical elements no fight ever feel repetitive.
    There is a vast and beautiful open world to explore with a great deal of variation in the landscape.
    Great game in my opinion.

    I learned about the new product from Avalanche. From the very beginning I realized that this is a simple, almost budget project, but cool.
    The exit was waiting.
    The game came out, collected its average scores and went a bit past me. Although I love such here is AA-releases.
    And now I managed to play on a free weekend, even with a friend. It was a fun experience. Graphics in place, optimization too. As least launch on ultras was able even I, with my something a bucket. Apex Engine is cool. Mountain landscapes, forests, rivers are very beautiful. It should have been called "Sweden Engine", and this game is promoted as a technodemku engine.
    The world is striking in size, and sometimes emptiness. When you run on an empty field, creeps the feeling that the gameplay is artificially stretched. And when on the same field you run for / from robots, everything falls into place. Wide locations promote and defections, and ambushes, and sniper shooting and all that. All this in the game is, implemented normally. Small guns first, then catches the gun, then it is a problem to find ammo, then go to bigger guns, and then one finds a RPG and does not want to share. That's greedy PI... roegnik. Take care of the shells to RPG, by the way.
    Loot in the game fun. On the initial location of lot lot, then it sharply enough, and to find the good stuff, will have to run in invisible places and side quests. Then the meat starts, the enemies die in packs, spent a clip, found two, johnny shot through the legs, someone, resnite, I ran out of adrenaline.
    The enemies are also different: in the beginning you need to fight in robotami, then they become more and the situation hotter. Then there are ticks, then hunters, all sorts of walking dudes, and a few bosses still. And if the alarm is raised-you can shoot with enemies for a long time. Really a long time. Even at the level that we got for their 5-10 hours in the game, you can specifically get stuck. Perhaps, because near was boss, but were shooting we with them half an hour of exercise, all patrons squandered, almost all killed, and then boss simply is gone(
    What an atmosphere. She's cool. There are a lot of sounds, some invisible animation effects. You get into the game and you don't want to go out. And then I with friend in another settlement killed all enemies, went through field, killed there all enemies, rightly move on a new island (when open map, to watch on its progress, don, that you, of course, cleaned up 2 Islands, but in scale the entire maps this at all nothing. And here we go to the next location, again we see the Church, and then we hear a loud tramp. Slow. I pull out my binoculars and see a giant in the distance. That. From the cover. It's slow, it's heavy, and it's really huge. Spoiler: he's dangerous. We have already got some skills by the time guns heavy score, but mentally was not ready for such a meeting.
    We decided to attack.
    Health he well up the wazoo, fired from different angles, beitili, chakali, how much HP, avoided him, hiding in the shelter. He once hit-raises all the Windows. The second time will hit - maybe to knock him down. It is slow, even a little predictable, but it is a real giant robot, exactly as it can be imagined. The battle with him is a test of speed, accuracy and agility. And victory is victory. Best prize. Deserved award.
    And also in the game there is some pumping, and we found a couple of bugs, in General, nothing critical, everything is solvable.

    Great game. The only thing wrong with it was that they released it way too early. I haven't encountered any bugs because most of them have been fixed, and this game is by far NOT empty. In fact, i'd say BOTW is more empty than this. It's overall a great game, that's best played with friends, but it's still fine single player (which is what i'm playing).

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!    … Expand

    If you like stealth, this is the best stealth game there is. The game is balanced for coop play, so when you play solo, you are facing a significant challenge.

That means lots of sneaking around prone in the first half of the game just to find half way decent weapons, gear and ammo. Run and gun will only work for super skilled elite players. Time passes at the same rate as real time, but game days are about 4 hours, so there is lots of night time play. Just walking in the woods in this game is like taking a real hike and very refreshing, from the crunch of leaves under foot to the wind in the trees.

    Pros:

    * Gorgeous outdoor enviroments, lighting and weather effects
    * the best environmental sounds ever in a game
    * equisite robot designs and animations
    * excellent random distribution of robots
    * smart ai with little cheating
    * glorious explosions

    Cons:

    * very repetitive play cycle in 1st half of game - forage for ammo for 1 hour, hunt robots for an hour, repeat.
    * feels unfinished - lots of bugs - visual oddities, getting stuck in cargo containers
    * inventory issues - limited storage or ways to recycle loot
    * grindy endgame of hunting Bosses for Experimental weapons
    * fort wave denfense mode is clunky and repetitive    … Expand

    Graphics and Artstyle really do fit the 80s vibe. If you are looking fora game with quest markers and a minimap or other handholding features Gen0 might not be for you. But get 3 friends together and its gonna be an awesome coop experience where you solve mysteries, explore a beautiful landscape and fight some robots.

    This game is likely the sleeper hit of the year and certainly the best I have played so far. It's a refreshingly different take on the post-apocalyptic scenario with robots instead of zombies (thank goodness). Some people have said GZ is boring and repetitive but to me it's like an atmospheric movie that takes it's time to draw you in instead of providing cheap thrills.

    THE PROS: •    This game is likely the sleeper hit of the year and certainly the best I have played so far. It's a refreshingly different take on the post-apocalyptic scenario with robots instead of zombies (thank goodness). Some people have said GZ is boring and repetitive but to me it's like an atmospheric movie that takes it's time to draw you in instead of providing cheap thrills.

    THE PROS:

    • no zombies
    • no gratuitous bloody violence
    • no boring exposition or corny dialogue
    • tense and enthralling atmosphere
    • gorgeous graphics (using ReShade filters)
    • big, open and detailed world
    • realistic weather and time of day effects
    • brilliant sound design (particularly for the guns and explosions)

    THE CONS:

    • blurred graphics (out of the box)
    • repeated overuse of assets (many cars and buildings are identical)
    • too few weapon types
    • too few enemy types
    • no save points (you are constantly forced to retread the same ground)

    I'd like to give the game a higher score but it is still incredibly buggy with the biggest gripe for me being the fuzzy graphics. Applying ReShade filters and then antialiasing tweaks in the Nvidia Control Panel mostly fixes the problem but these measures shouldn't be necessary. How the game was released in this condition is beyond me. Until this and other problems are fixed it will continue to get bad reviews.    … Expand

    There's something almost refreshing about the stark simplicity of GZ. You have a beautifully rendered countryside, a limited number of enemy types and no waypoint markers to help you. You're not weighed down with "quests" and set pieces to move the story along. The "story" is really you trying to survive.

    Is this enough for you? Only you can answer that. If you need frenetic, crowded multiplayer action, the quiet, tense atmosphere here may not appeal to you. More or less, this game feels like you walking around trying to survive. I like that. It's got plenty of imperfections - houses don't really feel "lived in" and start to all feel the same, more robot types would've been nice, maybe some roving bands of rogue humans?

    So, repetitive? Yes. But i appreciate what they went for with this game and perhaps the overall vision will be fleshed out more in future expansions or updates. As it stands, GZ is an engaging, tense game that can be a bit of a slog, but I think they were setting an atmosphere, and in that regard they were successful, and I find that atmosphere worthwhile, interesting and fun.    … Expand

The objects, consumables are dull, the graphic besides the map is ugly, dull, low-grade. You don't have too much weapons at all.

    I played this alone (nobody wanted to play this game with me) so I am not sure if more player brings more enemy, but the enemies are definitely NOT ENOUGH for even a single player. It just makes the game even more empty.

    I don't know about this engine, but definitely has something to do with the half-life / F.E.A.R. engine. Similar colors and the spider-like mini-robot is entirely the same as the face-attacker in half-life. The AI feels also very similar, and here is the good part:

    the action, the fights in the game are extremely good. The AI is unbelievably good (in most cases). It gives real fight feeling into the game. It is painfully missing from other games. The designer of the enemies has done an awesome job, the robots looks evil and complex, the damage system hits the nail, the usage of weapons are actually good. This is that awesome that you eventually forgive the lack of everything else.

    The rpg elements are also not bad, but just when your character leveled to be a real match to the machines, the game ends (of course, it never ends technically).

    So in summary: a very unique fighting fps experience, beautiful map, and seriously, nothing else.    … Expand

It's boring, repetitive and way too difficult to play solo. The world is massive and the enemies are many, but there is rarely any fun to be had. It's mostly killing the odd Legendary Robot, or exploring the odd base.

    The game is clearly not ment to be played alone. At one point, I arrived to the new location, and there were like 50 enemies. And I knew I would need like 400 rockets and an hour of clicking left mouse button to get rid of them. This is where I quit.

    Three hours in, and Generation Zero is running on fumes. It will take you 30 hours to get to the end of this story, but what's the point? This game is just as dead as everyone in the alt-dimensional Sweden.

    Generation Zero was designed with co-op in mind, but it lacks basic quality of life features, like dedicated servers, ignore list for matchmaking and even something as vital as integrated voice chat. [Issue#237, p.50]

    An interesting take on the post-apocalyptic genre, full of beautiful vistas and a streamlined interface, but moments of awe are punctuated with run-ins with the buggy and inconsistent AI.
