Generation Zero Review 2024 - Why this game could be better (2024)

Avalanche studio'sIs known for making huge sandboxes that invite so much chaos and destruction that players can create.

With credits that includeTherefore,,Mad MaxAnd the arrivalRage 2, Avalanche has received a reputation for making action games that concentrate on the power fantasies of the players.Generation zero, tries to expand the spectrum from what you could expect from an avalanche game.

A post-apocalyptic co-op shooter inspired by the eighties in the first person seems to touch every fashion word for a potentially lucrative game of the year.Fallout 76, a game thereGeneration zeroBy sharing a lot of his DNA, I expected Avalanche Stockholm Studio to come out and fill the gaps that Bethesda had missed.

Although the game was plagued by Bugs at the launch, the developers have been thatActive communicationWith players when patches are implemented and respond to feedback via community live streams.

This in combination with the fact that the devs intend to support the game in the long term and add new content has made the right time to write this assessment.

While my assessment is aimed to help you decide whether you should buy or notGeneration zero, We can revise the score after any major updates, so be sure to come back.

Presentation

If there is one thingGeneration zeroIs distinguished by Sweden in the 1980s.Each of these settings by starting in a remote coastal city and slowly bringing you further into the interior to more dynamic areas.

As environments become more and more complex, you start for exploring communities, military bunkers and remains of Swedish history such as Iboholmen Castle..

The use of insulation and both a story and a gameplay component is somethingGeneration zeroAdding a good job and the grounded representation of a realistic Sweden adds a sense of creepiness that easily competesFallout 76'S Appalachia.However, this leads to a world that is largely empty, with many boring sections that you will visit once and will never return.

History

Co-up-oriented games usually fall apart when they try to tell a coherent and interesting story.Generation zeroOnly who takes the time to listen and read sound and notes that have been left by people who have been dead or fled, the game does not fall under the 'cerebral puzzle' as Lovanche promised.

The majority of the story is used to chase the spirits of people who were at one place at one point, but went somewhere else.To provide exposure.

In the beginning I wanted to find out the reason behind the mysterious disappearance of humanity and the source of robotics -invasion;However, the game continued to stretch the thin story to the point that I was simply no longer interested.

Gameplay

Generation zeroThe gameplay run is perhaps the strongest component and the part that kept me involved.And ammunition to with-kits and interesting diversion aids such as torch and boom boxes that play 80s-pleasant music to attract the attention of enemies.

I found the fight inGeneration zeroTo be very satisfying thanks to the complex behavior of enemy AI, which is usually unpredictable.Would like to see a more enemy black, this is something that the developer is planning to expand in the future.

One of the biggest disadvantages of the game is how the progression and stock control control.The most important skills are locked behind different levels and divided into categories that simply do not make sense.Stample, a technician who currently feels completely useless.

Your inventory will be presented in aResident Evil-Til -format, with objects that take one or two slots.That game.

To explore new placements in the hope of finding out that new weapon or attachment feels nice for a few hours until you come across the same gun a thousand times.Spots with locations that you can completely skip, just because they contain nothing better than what you have currently equipped.

This seems like a miss from the part of the developer so muchGeneration zeroSolid and honest, the amazing world is never fully used., I discovered that I avoided areas that were not relevant to one of my missions, simply because I knew they would present nothing new or interesting.

The final judgment

If you are just looking for a slightly cheaper 'Looter Shooter' style play to play with your friends,Generation zeroCan scratch the itch.

Apart from a few cool clothing and accessories from the 80s, there is very little stimulus to check whether all Avalanche's Sweden has to offer..
