If one of your new year’s resolutions is to stop fleeing from the zombie horde and start fighting back, then you may need to pick up a copy of Project Zomboid.
Project Zomboid is an isometric survival sandbox that tosses players into an undead-infested world and challenges them to survive — either alone or together in multiplayer. “You loot, build, craft, fight, farm and fish in a struggle to survive,” studio Indie Stone said. “A hardcore RPG skillset, a vast map, massively customisable sandbox and a cute tutorial raccoon await the unwary. So how will you die? All it takes is a bite..”
The title’s been in active development for over a decade now and recently pushed out Build 41. This patch is a “huge step” for the game with across-the-board improvements, a new city called Louisville, better animations, a revised tutorial, and more gameplay modes.
Project Zomboid is actually pretty active these days and available on Steam and GOG.
