Mar 21, 2021This is a remaster of a game that hasn’t aged particularly well, and it’s hard to recommend unless you’re a big fan of the original and want to play it on modern platforms.

Mar 22, 2021Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse has some juvenile humour that can raise a smile but the repetitive combat, frustrating elements and bland graphics leave the player feeling like a zombie and looking for their own pulse.

Mar 15, 2021It's not fun to return to a rereleased game like Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse and discover that it's trapped in the past. While Stubbs the Zombie was ahead of its time back in the day, its day in the sun has long passed, and it's just really hard to go back to in an age with so many stellar new releases. Those who played it in its time will appreciate its quirky charms, but anyone coming to Stubbs fresh will have to work hard to overlook its dated aspects. As it is, Stubbs and his shamble through a retro-future will live on only as a historical artifact of a different time.

Mar 26, 2021If you already have a soft spot for Stubbs the Zombie, you’re going to have a perfectly fine experience here. But we wonder why on earth anyone would hold a candle for a game this obviously flawed. There’s some ambition here for sure, but something is always working against it. You can’t lose yourself in its mindlessness because your character is too weak. You can’t really formulate a decent strategy using your powers because you can only gain access to them through the rote melee combat. The jokes didn’t make us laugh. The premise is fun but the gameplay simply doesn’t do it justice. We’ll say it again – in order to make Stubbs the Zombie fun at all, you have to possess one of the firearm-wielding humans, thus transforming it from a load of baffling nothing to a pretty dull shooter. Please, no more resurrections for Stubbs. Let the man rest.

May 14, 2021quite possibly one of the worst games ever conceived. the fact that this half-baked clusterf*ck was even approved for development is an astonishment.

Mar 23, 2021Great port , of an old gem; now we can have Halo 1 on switch , because this game use first halo engine. I love to eat some brains on the go.
