Just got an update notification which prompted the thought... "Why is this game still available?" Released just before Day Z as a ripoff money grab version if I remember rightly, one that I fell for, "The War Z", or "Infestation: Random Name Here" as they have rebranded so many times I lose track... It's just bad. Do yourself a favor and keep looking... (elsewhere)

There are a lot of things that either needs to be brought into the game or either changed a little. So first off, i noticed the hands are weird looking in the game when you don't have a weopon equipped. That is just a small thing i noticed. When i went through the tutorial, just after being spawned to kill my first zombie it kicked me out to the game home screen. When i navigated to my character again, there is no play button so i spent my time clicking on everything before i somehow got into the tutorial again. In the tutorial the only thing i noticed that was a bit strange was that when the few different zombies are shown i'm only seeing the one type of zombie the whole time up until later when that zombie with the many legs appear then i can see other zombie types nicely. The movement of the character is a bit stiff. I love any zombie games. If there is one that exist i have played but this one does need a little work. I would love to play it again after some changes are made to it thought.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.

The first Control Resonant sale since launch landed on 2 November. Our 36 readings before it never left an eight per cent band, which says something about waiting.

The Eldest Souls price has barely moved in six weeks, and every cheapest-of-the-day listing we logged came from a key shop. What that means for when, and where, to buy.
