PC Critic Reviews

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check is a very unique and interesting game with enough gameplay to make you want to boot it up at random to check a few people, just to keep humanity safe. It does have some small issues with soft-lock missions, but that’s not really worth mentioning when you’re having so much fun.

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check is a fun, repeatable, relaxing time. Few games let you stare so much before blowing a hot load of lead directly into the target of your gaze.

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check turns the classic zombie theme on its head by putting the player in the shoes of a health inspector at a military checkpoint. The gameplay revolves around inspecting survivors, diagnosing symptoms, and making often irrevocable moral decisions, with clear references to Papers, Please. The idea is original and the immersion works, but the structure tends to become repetitive as the hours go by. The action and base-building sections break up the routine without ever being outstanding. The experience is penalized by an overly rigid evaluation system and a technical implementation that is merely functional. An interesting release, more for its concept than for its gameplay depth.

Simulation with an unusual zombie scenario, which nevertheless leaves many opportunities untapped.

In a world where the genre of simulators is as broad as jobs are in the real world“Quarantine Zone: The Last Check manages to stand out. The core gameplay loop of checking for symptoms and getting rid of infected as well as managing your checkpoint is fun, engaging and addictive. Unfortunately the rest of the game suffers from rather weak graphics and sounds as well as hard to navigate menus that dull the general enjoyment of the game.

Deciding the fate of those who have escaped the zombies is a significant responsibility that should not be underestimated. Most importantly, it offers a fresh take on the zombie theme. The developers have cleverly combined simulation and base management elements with an action mini-game.

Have you ever wanted to be the guy in a zombie movie who holds a scanner up to someone's face and gets to decide their fate? Then you might enjoy a few interesting hours playing Quarantine Zone. However, aside from the scanning mechanic, the game lacks complexity, variety, and challenge.

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check stands out for its concept and emotional impact, making the player feel the weight of deciding others’ fate. Weaker in variety, narrative, and technical polish, it lingers more for its discomfort than its game design.

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check is a unique approach to the zombie genre, and while it can become repetitive, I still had a lot of fun playing.

It’s a unique offering with enough to keep you engaged through a campaign, and with different endings depending on how you play the game, there’s a welcome portion of replayability too.
