Generation Zero® Reviews

Fun game lots of story and stuff to do, some of the dlc are worth it but none are necesery for the main story :) big robot go boom boom bang bang

Bare bones game that has content hidden behind 20 paid DLC's. Had so much potential but has now been abandoned.

DO NOT BUY THIS DLC Now to tell you why. So I bought this last week and enjoy the content however the content is mostly useless due to a bug. On certain terrian or areas of the map when you deploy the companion it just disappears. Gone until you go back to the bench and mess with the CONFIGURE option. Well in their closing message they mention any bug reports can be made and supplied a link. Well I went there I told them of this bug. I was told by Adam that many players have been reporting this since the last hotfix. I was also told that I am out of luck as they have no intentions of fixing this bug. I was told to learn to deal with the bug. I wish I was making this up too but sadly I am not. I am using 0 mods for the game not even looked for any. I am running a i7 11th Gen 3070 GPU 48GB RAM Loaded on an SSD fresh install fresh save. There is zero reason on my end why this does not work. This is just developers pulling out now that the cash has dried up. So spread the word to everyone that we do not buy from this company anymore. Let them feel our distrust and aggervation over this clear money grab move they have made.

This game is a solid 6.3/10. the gameplay IS a little bit repetitive, aswell as the base building and crafting system being just a tad silly. If your going to buy this game i suggest you watch some videos first, or even watch some sort of live stream VOD so you get a preview of the actual experience instead of an edited down cinematic.

Fallout + Terminator in Sweden Pros: + Smooth performance for an open-world crafting survival game + visually beautiful apocalyptic world + lots of customization options + building bases is easy and not very grindy since you have resources everywhere Cons: - very tough to run away from combat, robots won't stop until you shoot them all down or reach a safe house - loot is very same-y everywhere. rare to find something new Note: if you have Windows anti-ransomware feature enabled, the game won't be able to save your game. make sure to add the game to the allow list.

After Much deliberation 6/10 MAIN PROS Decent graphics and sound, combat feels real like your a bag of flesh against machine. Weapons feel just right and the story is decent. DLC isn't required but more of a way of supporting the devs, who are hard working and extremely pro-active creating free content. MAIN CONS Character customisation is really bad, plenty of outfits but the faces look like a line up from a drug bust. That needs changing a.s.a.p.

As of Jan 2025 the devs have said they won't be doing any more work on the game, despite it having a lot of bugs that need fixing. It's a shame because there is some good stuff here. When i first played it i found the game world immersive with great sound design, and the combat decent. But the longer you play the bugs start to add up and ruin the experience. Ultimately i can't recommend a broken product that the devs give up on. So it's got to be a thumbs down from me.

I recommend this game, but barely. Probably buy on heavy discount. It's fun for a bit. First, the good things. The world is big. Guns and combat feel good. Progression seems appropriate. Story is OK, I haven't gotten really far in the story. I am not TOO far into the game but the machines are pretty enjoyable to fight but I wish there were more varieties. Probably are I haven't seen yet. On the bad side, the size of the world makes it feel empty. It seems like the devs spent too much time fleshing out a world that they didn't have a purpose for, and thus much of it is empty. After a while the machines become huge bullet soaks, and can take hundreds of rounds to kill which are heavy. Assaulting a base can spend literally thousands of rounds as it produces tons of machines and is guarded by giant turrets that wreck you. It is difficult to carry the weight of just the guns and ammo sometimes. Every gun also has its own ammo, even to the point that 9mm is differentiated into handgun and smg... so you have to carry separate rounds for each if you want to use both even though they use the same caliber. Same problem with the scopes, they are gun specific as if they wouldn't all attach to the same rail. This applies to everything from magazines to silencers too. Instead of simplifying the real world for the game, they complicated it more than the real world making inventory bloat horrible. You can deconstruct useless things into base materials, but in almost 80 hours I still haven't found some of the materials I need to make what I want, or in some cases found the schematics for them. Like ammo. I have 0 schematics. No idea what I'm doing wrong or how to get some of these things. Other things, like mods for armor and such require rare materials so I can't build those either. I need command points I don't have to capture bases I cleared. Game doesn't explain much of this very well, it just kinda throws you into the fray and you get to figure it out. I think because the game was released alpha and development took a very long time. Players that played through development probably know all of this stuff. Me jumping in years after the fact, nothing is explained. Also some of the mods/upgrades have a drawback making them more useless than no mod IMO. It gives me less incentive to get them, less to build them, and less to even go look up how to do those things. Because of the weight problems, and the constant trips back to town to offload the junk you collect, I quit picking up most of what drops. I collected tons of steel, lead, aluminum I can't use. Also, the weights don't make sense, like they were just lazy. Every gun weighs 2 lb. Doesn't matter if it's a handgun or a .50 BMG. 2 lb. Every attachment weighs .250 lbs. However a large metal gas tank weighs 1 lb, as does a "large car battery EMP". Makes no sense, and even at those stupid unrealistic numbers makes carrying stuff like that around basically impossible. I carried ammo and just left the rest on the ground because it's too heavy to carry around 1 lb items for long. With carry perks I could only carry about 90 lbs and guns, ammo, and healing packs are about 40-50, sometimes more when you are leaving base. I can fill an inventory after one combat if I pick up everything sometimes. Story seemed pretty lackluster. Some machines somehow invade while you are on a boating trip and you come back and don't know what happened after a few days away everything is gone. Takes place is sweden, and something about the russians, maybe allies. That's as far as I got. After the first few quests tell you where to go, you are left with the game loop of looking for bunkers they don't tell you where they are, to find missions that don't help flesh out the story and seem more like side quests or constant dead ends. I got bored and uninterested in short order. I continued for a few of them to see if they got better, they really didn't. Last complaint is the AI. Sometimes it detects you right off the bat at huge distances somehow, others the machines do weird things and don't seem to see you. Or stand there dumbfounded while you blast away. The compensation for this poor AI seems to be that they spam machines. Sometimes you will be facing a dozen machines at once, or what feels like a constant stream of them. Overall a mediocre experience. It's an OK game with a lot of problems. I had fun with it for a while but am going to uninstall without completing.

absolutely unbelievable bullshit from these devs i dealt with all the bugs and had my fun but every update just got worse and worse until finally they absolutely fucked the game and then abandoned it in an almost unplayable state. total garbage. do not buy

Developer has formally stated there will be no further patches or bugfixing, including repairs to the gameplay that were broken by their last major "update". This leaves substantial portions of both the base game and DLCs both unusable or worse than prior to the last update. Paying extra for DLCs that just break your game more frequently is a poor choice; buy base game only, and only at steep discount, and only if you don't mind jank and broken mission chains. Would not trust this developer again.
