    Ice Station Z (2021) is in my opinion a fantastic video game and a great remake of the 3DS original. It takes elements out of other games such as DayZ but puts a more fun spin upon the multiplayer zombie survival genre. The map is fairly sized being around 1.5× the size of the original Ice Station Z and definitely benefits from these changes.

It takes elements out of other games such as DayZ but puts a more fun spin upon the multiplayer zombie survival genre. The map is fairly sized being around 1.5× the size of the original Ice Station Z and definitely benefits from these changes. It hosts a singleplayer mode and a more focused multiplayer game mode. This multiplayer offers a less challenging version of the singleplayer game and has less zombies overall as they only spawn near the host but luckily that will be unlikely as aproblem considering much time in the multiplayer is spent exploring the map with other players and communicating on the intake voice chat. This adds a another layer to the game as you can now have a more fun filled experience with the game. Sadly some locations had to be cut that were in the original game but are no longer here, this is not bad overall as the game adds some new locations and most of the older returning locations are larger and more fleshed out. The graphics are by far the largest improvement in the entire game. Comparing this new game to the 3DS game they are practically unrecognisable with this new game hitting AAA levels of graphical fidelity and is a much need improvement from the polygon filled original game! The zombies of course return as they are the main antagonist of the game they this time look more creepy with blue glowing eyes and frosted skin. They sport a large blue coat and cargo trousers similar to that of the player. It really makes it feel like the zombies are more like actual infected survivors than just mindless noise. Overall this game is an improvement in every way It can be the graphics, character models, the locations the variety in landscape all has improved massively. It has a few bugs the most annoying of which is random crashing but this will very likely be fixed in a later patch to the game. I would highly recommend this game as it has a little bit of enjoyment for everyone!… Expand

    Cheap and cheerful basic survival game in the snow. I mean for £3.99 this is really good, you basically wander an arctic map searching cabins and ships and other locations for water, food, guns, ammo, clothing, matches, etc. the usual survival stuff, while avoiding the zombies and finding shelter when you get cold and a bed for the night and that's basically it.

    There's a few vehicles to use such as snowmobiles, boats and helicopter that you need various fuel and parts to get working. There's not any crafting involved though, you can't build your own shelters or stuff like that so it's not a hardcore survival game, there are a few mini games such as catching logs and avoding snow when collecting wood for a fire and such. I only played offline single player and it was enjoyable.

    For the price the game is a lot of fun, just don't expect the gameplay to be too indepth.    … Expand

    An absolutely amazing game to play lots of fun an lots to find and collect and a bargain at the price. The graphics are vastly improved from the 3DS and it really shows, the only thing is that other than the backpack there's no real storage for your gathered items which would really benefit the game rather than just placing stuff all round your house.
