Generation Zero could probably be best described as an unpolished gem. If a second part is going to be made (and I sincerely hope that’s happening), I’m sure that it’s going to be much better and better focused. Until then, if you're playing Generation Zero in a single player or with other people, you’re in for a treat. You’re going to experience something unique, and that in itself is valuable.
This is a coop shooter with a great setting and good ideas, but the worlds feels empty, the progression isn’t very appealing and ends up feeling repetitive.
Superb experience that uses the stealth / action genre to it's best abilities. Launch was a little rough but the dev really massaged it over the past few years making it one of the best in the genre.
Three hours in, and Generation Zero is running on fumes. It will take you 30 hours to get to the end of this story, but what's the point? This game is just as dead as everyone in the alt-dimensional Sweden.
Generation Zero comes with an intriguing setting and a huge map that's way too big to explore on foot. There are different types of enemies to fight, but the AI is very basic and the game suffers from many glitches.
I absolutely love this game. I have over 200 hours in it, and it really is special to me. However, the developers have added more and more content while at the same time introducing just as many bugs, then simply decided they were finished and left the game in a broken state six years after release. It is such a shame because, except for that, it really is a special game. If you can tolerate some annoying bugs, the game is really worth playing. They nail the feeling of small Swedish towns and the countryside. That, combined with the robot aesthetic, solid world-building, and atmosphere, just makes this game a joy to play—when it works as intended.
At first it seemed like a really nice experience. Movement, shooting, looting and graphics are all really nicely done. So the first hour maybe two were really good. But when you saw the first location and first village you almost seen everything. Recycling of assets in this game is unacceptable. World is big but boring, nothing to do except useless fighting. Game had a potential but unfortunately that's just not enough.
Graphics look out of the arc and it doesn't run well for what it is rendering. I got bored early on shooting dog bot after dog bot. Survival and stealth mechanics formulaic. Visually, narratively, gameplay wise nothing stands out. I'ts all kind of meh.
