Some very big issues here. You can overpower yourself very quickly, the melee weapon is the best weapon in the game and the main character swap mechanic, while neat is unlikely to be experienced due to the Zombie A.I not being nearly enough of a threat. This is all exacerbated by the compromises made in removing the second-screen mechanics from the WiiU original, which does nothing but hurt the overall experience. At its core however, there is a solid game here under all the jank that really deserved a better studio than Ubisoft at the lead. It's hard to recommend, but I don't think your time would be wasted playing it either.

A port of the original from the WiiU, Zombi has a promising premise, but a mediocre execution. Set in modern day London where an ancient prophesy foretold the end of the world by a zombie apocalypse, The Player takes control of a survivor that will carry out missions by other survivors. Yet, they will eventually fall to the Zombies and the Player will be giving a new survivor to play as. This gives the game a more rouge-like gameplay where their valued supplies will be lost. However, with a rather dull story, dull gameplay, average graphics at best, Zombi will leave a lot left to be desired by Players.

Zombi is a first person survival horror game for the Xbox One and PS4. The game is a port of the Wii U title ZombieU.
I found this game to be a mixed bag, with some really good ideas and interesting mechanics however the execution of these did not necessarily pay off.
I liked the idea of a survival horror game set in London being from the UK myself, it made a nice change.
The graphics were serviceable and it appropriately looked grim but it's not the best looking game.
The death mechanic was cool, where depending on the difficulty you select you can either respawn as a different character but will need to locate all your previous lost gear (health packs, ammo, weapons) from the rucksack or die permanently and restart the game from the beginning. I chose the easier one, but it still made it a tense experience as you had to be careful to survive especially tracking down your lost gear.
This isn't a run or gun zombie game either like Left 4 Dead, shooting zombies is not always the best strategy as these zombies can take you down fairly easily if you are not careful. Too much noise will attract them to you. This is more of a survival game with looting for supplies. There were some jump scares but overall it's not that scary, definitely not in the league of Alien Isolation.
I found the best method was to use the cricket or baseball bat however you do need to get your timings right when hitting zombies as they can issue quite a bit of damage.
Unfortunately, the game suffers from a lack of polish which hinders the actual gameplay. The controls are quite clunky and didn't always respond when needed which could be a little frustrating. The story itself, wasn't overly gripping and while the death mechanic is definitely interesting you don't become attached to your character and they do not have any defined personality.
Zombi may be worth playing if you can find it cheap and enjoy survival horror games.
For me it's a 6.5/10.

Honestly? I approached this game expecting some terrible trash heap of a game, based on the reception it received. But I found it to be a pretty enjoyable classic-feeling survival horror. This type of scavenging and resource managing game is honestly right up my alley. So I was genuinely enjoying it for a while! Considering I paid just one dollar for it, I thought it was a pretty good deal.

Then it crashed and I lost an hour of progress because the only save is all the way back in the fucking safe house and there's no autosaving. I'm really salty about that, so I don't know if I'll even continue it, as much as I was enjoying it at first. Fuck you.

Oh yeah, also, audio is bugged to shit.

Horrible port of the vastly superior ZombiU. Gamepad removal alleviated a lot of tension and scares, mechanics are streamlined and changed for the worse, less content all around with the absence of online and local multiplayer, weird bugs that weren't in the original at all, graphics that are barely improved from the Wii U version (with some elements from the Wii U's visuals being taken away for no reason), the only thing this game does right is bumping the framerate up to 60. Otherwise Wii U version is still far better in every single way.
