Project Zomboid is a brutal zombie survival sim that gives players wonderfully tragic stories to come away with.
Survival games are all good and fun, but I can only enjoy them if they present a decent challenge. RimWorld is a brilliant colony sim, for instance, pitting players against ever-increasing odds until they escape the planet they’ve crash-landed on or a raid by mechs wipes them away. Mount & Blade: Bannerlord keeps players on their toes with random events that can throw their carefully managed kingdom into disarray. But there isn’t a more brutal, story-driven sim game than Project Zomboid.
If you play Project Zomboid, your character is going to die. It happens eventually, but unlike other survival crafting sims, death in Project Zomboid comes at a heavy cost. All the progress made with that character, specifically in regards to learning skills, is gone as soon as they die because players then have to make a completely new character. Project Zomboid is a game where death is final and happens quite often.
In one of my recent sessions with friends, one of my pals and I decided to venture out of our safehouse to find another one of our friends. We ended up finding him and celebrated for all of a second by drinking some soda before realizing he was leading a trail of several zombies after us. At this point, we didn’t have very good gear, and the friend we had just found was bitten.
Learning from death Playing with friends can make these stories a bit funnier than they’d usually be. Playing on my own, I’ve died from the simplest of things. One time I climbed through a window and suffered a deep cut, which eventually led to my character simply bleeding out. It wasn’t a graceful death, but one I learned from.
