- There’s nothing like Zombi when it comes to its survival elements, actually ensuring a sense of dread and tension for every step forward, until you get to its archaic and clumsy gameplay design. Actually engaging with enemies feels unwieldy and quickly becomes repetitive. Even the port quality is at odds with itself as Straight Right has created an unstable slog that, while still playable, can be frustrating to get through. Spotty performance, a terribly boring aesthetic and a messy, cobbled together combat system amounts to something that had potential, but was beaten over the head with a cricket bat.
Adam Beck · Aug 27, 2015 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Zombi would be a tough sell at anything higher than its current asking price of $20. With a playtime of 6-8 hours including modest exploration, and three barely disparate endings that don’t feel like much of an emotional payoff, I can only recommend Zombi to hardcore zombie game fans.
Paulmichael Contreras · Aug 26, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - ZombiU no doubt benefited from its iconic approach . It's easier for a zombie game to stand out on a system that has very few games focused on horror, survival, the undead, or even first-person shooting. With the jump to other platforms, Zombi is going toe-to-toe with a lot of other games that could appeal to the same audience. Still, Zombi manages to set itself apart, with its deliberate pacing, desolate atmosphere, and focus on survival. It might not be a Crown Jewel, but this undead romp through London is an interesting change of pace.
Britton Peele · Aug 26, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Zombi was a stealth release. It just came out of nowhere with little announcement. The beauty part is that many folks never got to experience this on the Wii U and the port has been done fairly well. It might not have huge improvements, but it runs at a solid 30 fps most the time with a resolution increase, some added weapons, and FOV change.
Justin Celani · Aug 25, 2015 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Visually, Zombi's models are crude, the animation isn't great, and it has an overly muddy and bland color scheme, but the levels are generally well-designed and the environments and set dressing are detailed and evocative. Except for a choice of resolution, brightness, and FOV, there are no advanced video settings to speak of, and all of the audio—SFX, ambiance, music, voice—is tied to a single volume slider. ...it's a fun and scary survival horror game, but being killed by zombies should happen more frequently than being killed by glitches.
Christopher Livingston · Aug 21, 2015 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Zombi is the textbook example of a game that needs a sequel. Within the trope-ripe grounds of the zombie shooter, it builds interesting NPCs, delivers genuine scares, and makes deaths mean something more than a respawn. With more exciting combat, Zombi might have been a must-own for horror fans. As it stands, it’s a fun game that does most things right, but constantly reminds you of its biggest flaw.
Brian Albert · Aug 20, 2015 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Zombi is an accomplished horror game that manages to make zombies scary in a medium where they’ve been overused to the point of boredom. That’s an astounding achievement, and it’s why this game still feels fresh three years after its original incarnation.
Jim Sterling · Aug 19, 2015 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Considering the effort gone into the environment design it's a shame more wasn't done to spruce the textures up. Modelling is also distinctly last-gen, although the lighting and effects help hide this behind a wonderfully eerie atmosphere. ...Given the lack of meaningful changes for the better, the original game still delivers the best experience, even if the new-gen game looks and performs marginally better.
Tom Orry · Aug 18, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Ultimately, this was a wasted opportunity to polish and refine a solid Wii U title that brought a fresh perspective to the genre on release, but is showing its age now. It looks and feels like a last-gen game shoehorned onto new platforms in a lazy port. It’s a poor survival horror game when the erratic control scheme is the most terrifying thing about it.
Shabana Arif · Aug 18, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Overall, Zombi U is a game that successfully utilizes the Wii U’s GamePad features, provides a spooky atmosphere, and has some innovative elements that make it a worthy purchase for many. Unfortunately, the combat is not as refined as it could be and I found the gameplay somewhat tedious. Not to mention Zombi U is not as visually polished as it could be.
