About City Z

✦ AI summary

City Z is a VR zombie shooter where you battle hordes of the undead across treacherous ruins, navigating narrow parapets and darkness while armed with rifles and shotguns to reach the building's top. The game tests your survival instincts against your deepest fears as you face an unrelenting apocalyptic gauntlet with nothing but your courage and firepower.

Fear or desire to survive - which is closer to you? The VR zombie shooter City Z is your way to find out the answer. To get out of the ruins of the City, you will have to walk along the parapet over the abyss, learn to navigate in the dark and shoot hundreds of walking dead. You have no limits other than your own fears. Zombies have no desires other than the desire to kill. Are you ready for such a rehearsal of the apocalypse? Put on your armor, choose a rifle or a shotgun - now you are part of a special forces group. Your mission is to get to the top of the building and stay alive.

It's a free short zombie shooter game with a full campaign. The video in the store is extremely misleading... there is no multiplayer and melee weapons. Achievements seems to be broken. The game is pretty barebones compared to the video presentation, but it's still enjoyable for what it is.

Picked this up expected to roast another VR zombie wave shooter, but hell, I played through to the end in 24 minutes including the time I spent rebinding my controllers via Steam, and it's free, so I'm not gonna. Here's some constructively critical points instead: 1) Index controls. biggest gripe until I figured it out. The default binds need changed to make sense. By default the grip teleports AND two hands a weapon. This needs to be changed. I switched teleport to left A on index via Steam binds. 2) The story. There's some vague notion of rescuing someone? Or something. But we never get there. It ends with a boss fight 3) Reload. The auto reload seems way too slow. Manual reload would be faster. 4) Difficulty to completion. There wasn't any. Like I died, but because the continuation respawn mechanic is infinite, and that impacts the scores, but I got through. Which is one-and-done fine. 5) Locomotion. Teleport is terrible unless it's an option. It's not an option, there's only one mode of locomotion that I found. So yeah, if this game is some sort of demo for VR arcades, it's fine. If it's a free proof of concept for a larger game, it's fine. It's a wave shooter, but it…

i think it's lame you kill a few zombies then push generator button and move to the next area the gameplay loop is boreing it looked good but it feels like it's less made for vr since you can't use the vr joysticks to move it seems way to hecktic for it having to move in a small area fast to avoid damage

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
