Three Dead Zed

Not Recommended

It’s an old game and honestly, I thought it was boring back then and I still think it’s boring now. Just not much fun.

good

Three Dead Zed is a basic puzzle-platformer with a nonsensical story of space cats and zombies and lots of dad humor. Short of a few minor bugs here and there, there is nothing particularly wrong with it and it can even be fun for the first hour or so. The problem is that nothing really changes from there to keep things interesting. The level design is pretty boring, the controls are clunky, and some of the reflex-platforming can be annoying, especially toward the end. Enemies do not re-spawn when you die, so you can basically face tank and brute force everything with no penalty by abusing the checkpoints, which takes all the challenge out of the game.

seems to work on Steam deck.

You control three types of zombies in a platformer, where each one has special abilities. One is very fast and can jump far, one can click on switches (no joke), and the other one is just strong. The problem with this game is that it's just not fun. Production value is quite low but this is an indie team with no publisher so I give my respect to that. However, I got bored after 20min as there was no reason for me to stay any longer. I'm certain that there are other platforming games which also offer multiple types of characters and are much more worth your time. No recommendation.
