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.

Zombie Army 4: Dead War is the latest instalment in the franchise and spin off from the Sniper Elite series.

I had an absolute blast playing this game, it's far more bombastic and over the top compared to the Trilogy.

I know a lot of people may prefer the tone and experience of the Trilogy but I must say I prefer this one.

I found the gameplay far more satisfying and when the music kicked in during the numerous zombie hordes it got my adrenaline going.

I found the story a bit more engaging this time round.

Unlike the Trilogy, players can upgrade their weapons and unlock perks and abilities to enhance your play style. The upgraded trench shotgun was awesome and joy to blast through the zombies.

Graphically it's a big step up from the Trilogy, I played it on the Xbox One X and it looked gorgeous.

While still linear the environments do feel a little more open this time. There is also a greater enemy varity to spice things up a bit.

The added DLC story missions were also a joy to play through.

While it's not perfect, I highly recommend this game based on it being pure fun and doesn't take itself too seriously.

8.5/10

Spin off from the Sniper Elite series, Zombie Army Trilogy is a 3rd person shooter that can be played offline solo or co op online.

The game is a very linear experience with not much in the way of story however gameplay wise it's very addictive and alot of fun clearing through Nazi zombie hordes even if a bit tense at times.

Unfortunately, the Xbox One version does have some screen tearing and the graphics are not as good obviously as Zombie Army 4 but it does have really a good atmosphere and music.

The game has a darker and gritter tone than Zombie Army 4 however for me personally it's not as fun or as crazy as 4.

I would still recommend playing Zombie Army Trilogy if you can get it cheap and enjoy 3rd person shooters/zombie games.

A strong 7.5/10
