One of the best survival games out there. Be warned this is not for everyone. It is a slow slow burn. But that is what makes it so good. You have to work hard to build a secure base. You have to work on getting all your skills up and if you die all your skills are gone forever and you have to start over do not play this game if you just want a fun game where you kill zombies. Go play L4D2 or killing floor. Play this game if you want to feel the weight of very mistake and tiny victory.

I really, REALLY like this game.
Zombies were something I always liked in all forms of media. There are plenty of games with them, however Zomboid is unique in that it puts survival in the first place, above everything else. It is the only game, about zombies, where one has to worry about food, its quality, whether you are warm enough, have clothes on, if you have smokes, how to deal with boredom and depression of your character.
While some of the mechanics are tedious, they certainly are things that motivate you to leave the illusory safety of your hideout to do things, to alleviate any of the needs that are currently affecting your character. Going out however is always dangerous, for even when you cleared the area from zeds (and disabled respawns), new ones always can migrate your way!
The game constantly keeps you on your toes, you will die often, but once you get it - it is an experience!
No other game simulates an almost real-life zombie apocalypse like Project Zomboid does.

I’m still new to this game, just seven hours in, but I’ve already lived and died more times than I can count. I’ve scavenged for food, patched up wounds, and limped through empty streets, hoping to make it back before nightfall. Sometimes I’ve managed to hold out, built shelters, grown crops, but even that feels like a slow kind of death.
Survival isn’t the goal. There’s no winning, no happy ending, just the stories you create before the inevitable. Will you hide, fight, or run? It doesn’t matter. In the end, death finds everyone. The only thing that matters is how you live before it does.

This was a great purchase. The game's fun atmosphere has kept me playing for hours, looking for skill books, and overall upgrading my characters skills, though I dont know if exercising did anything, being able to just explore and investigate for stuff like weapons or better clothing to protect against zombie bites. its a good game to play on all nighters, and would in my opinion be much better to play with friends

Set off an alarm, attract a horde,
Forget to lock the door, now you're floored.
Eat some rotten food, get real sick,
Try to fight a zombie with just a stick.
Dumb ways to die,
So many dumb ways to die,
Dumb ways to die,
In Project Zomboid.
Leave the oven on, burn down your base,
Run out of water, dry up your face.
Ignore the infection, let it spread,
Sleep in the open, wake up dead.
Dumb ways to die,
So many dumb ways to die,
Dumb ways to die,
In Project Zomboid.
Drive a car too fast, hit a tree,
Get caught in the rain, catch a cold, you see.
Forget to bandage, bleed out slow,
Try to take on a horde with just a hoe.
Dumb ways to die,
So many dumb ways to die,
Dumb ways to die,
In Project Zomboid.

honestly this game reminds me of minecraft:
1-you start a world
2- you progress through the world and the weapons and stuff
3- you set a target to make something in your world or to clear something
4- you go do the objective
5- you die during the objective
6- you get mad for 2 days until you see a tiktok about some dude making a huge base in the woods eating fish 24/7 and fighting zombies with an umbrella
7- you reload the game and make a new world
8- you die in the first 5 minutes of the game
9- you dont touch the game for another 2 months
10- repeat

Project Zomboid is the game where you realize your survival instincts are far less impressive than you thought. You start with a backpack full of dreams and a baseball bat, and within 20 minutes, you’re barricading yourself in a house while panicking over a can of beans you can’t open cause the can opener was "too heavy".
The game is like a masterclass in poor decision-making—deciding to fight a horde of zombies because "I’m pretty sure I can take them" is immediately followed by the sound of your character screaming and a death screen. But hey, at least you can loot your own body afterwards, right?
If you want a realistic survival experience, where every bad decision is rewarded with even worse consequences, Project Zomboid has you covered. 10/10 would die in my own garden again.
