Growing up in the 90s and the early 2000s, zombies were everywhere. After reading and re-reading Max Brooks' The Zombie Survival Guide, I was finally able to play this game, and was surprised with how much in common the book and the game had. Zomboid is something to each player-- for me, it's a slow-burn, psychological fight for survival, were every choice has dire consequences-- for others it may be a cocaine-addled, rock-and-roll thrill-ride where you get in a car, blast music out of it, load up a sawed-off shotgun, and die in a blaze of fire and glory. It is what you make of it, and the modding community is there to help you live your own fantasy-- or nightmare. 10/10, cannot recommend enough.
