    The porting of ZombiU on other platforms is decent, and the new control system is well implemented; the game is still good, with its great atmosphere and a nice mix of survival elements. The graphics, though, are almost identical to the original, and that's not a compliment.

    So compelling are the first seven or so hours that the filthy tricks of the finale can't even sour them. [Issue#166, p.96]

    On a technical level, sadly, Zombi disappoints. That said, Zombi is saved by an evocative world and a few innovative features that make it feel newer. [December 2015, p71]

    Below-par visuals and production obscure, but don't fully diminish, vibrant design and fresh ideas. [Nov 2015, p.99]

    Challenging gameplay and a moody atmosphere make for an intriguing experience, though clunky controls and disappointing graphics keep it from reaching the heights its concept deserves.

    Zombi manages to set itself apart, with its deliberate pacing, desolate atmosphere, and focus on survival. It might not be a Crown Jewel, but this undead romp through London is an interesting change of pace.

    Zombi is still a sweet game, which surely gives you a hell of a scary time. This version misses a few features like the multplayer mode and Ubisoft didn't really brush it up graphically. Still Zombi is a game worth playing.

    Zombi is still a pretty good survival horror game, but Ubisoft hasn't worked too hard on this version. If you cannot play it on Wii U, and you like horror games, it's a game you should try.

    One of the best survival horrors of recent years, that functions almost as well as the Wii U version. creating a mature-rated adventure that is as ruthlessly difficult as it is engrossing.

    The idea of a zombie-apocalypse “Metroidvania” set in what used to be a modern city is an excellent hook for a game, but Zombi is too busy showing off Wii-U features that aren’t there anymore to fulfill that premise.

    Zombi is a nice game. Not extraordinary, not exceptional, but it entertains. We have missed the Wii U Game Pad.

    This port can't really hit the same high notes of the original on WiiU, and from a technical standpoint it's definitely not the best around. At least the price tag is low.

    Far from Wii U and its GamePad, Zombi losses its most obvious original appeal.

    Losing the online integration hurts, and because of this the Wii U version is the superior one by a significant margin, despite looking inferior.

    Zombi’s unique take on survival horror isn’t enough to compensate for an otherwise bland experience.
  17. 60
    The Dead Island series provides for more challenge, a better story, and a whole lot more content at around the same price. So unless you’re bored with other zombie games, you can wait for a sale.

    Zombi is hardly a deluxe version of ZombiU, with numerous bugs and few graphical improvements. It's still a good survival game, but feels outdated and misses the Wii U Game Pad.
