An actual review

My "Final Thoughts" at bottom

Ok, I felt I need to write this review. I don't know where to start, but here we go.

I have played WarZ, ISS, Aftermath, and now this. Spent money in all, and sadly yes it was all lost, with zero compensation. Each time I was very upset about it, but who wouldn't be. Each had potential and failed. This is not about the company, devs, or anything related. We are all here for the same reason. To find a good openworld zombie surival/pvp game.

I keep seeing post, or videos discussing the genere saying, "Oh another zombie survival.. blah blah bull -sh." Let's get this out of the way IMMEDIATELY. Are there alot of games in the genere? Hell yes. But, how many are actually the slightest bit worthy of playing? I don't care how many game are out there. If you want open world, zombies, survival, pvp, you have 2 choices. DayZ or H1Z1. (Maybe miscreated, haven't played it yet.) This game is so similar to WarZ I don't see all that much of a difference and I highly believe in time it will be even better. I loved WarZ. So we have DayZ, H1Z1, and hopefully we will have NewZ for more than a few months. So with 3 titles, I wouldn't dare call this a over done market. You and I both know we are still looking for that survival of our dreams. This may not be it, but dammit its good enough until it becomes what we want, or something else comes along to surpass it.

This game has bugs, yes. Are they game breaking? No. Yeah, you may lose some of your gear from bugs or crashing. But did you really lose anything? Gear is SO easy to obtain in this games current state I laugh when I lose my gear to bugs cause somes times its just funny, and I know within a few minutes I will have it all back. If you have a skin, or rare item, log, store it in your global if your so worried about it. Its a full loot pvp survival, and without the bugs, you should still expect to lose some sht.

Are the devs bad, idk. Haven't had any issues with them thus far, but in the past with warZ, Iss, aftermath, I have had horrible experiences. So far whoever is on the support team and dev team on NewZ is doing an outstanding job compared to past titles. I fully support what they are doing and they appear to be trying their best.

So if you are considering trying this game, Yes, I highly recommend giving it a shot. Its not yet the best game, its not complete, but its very fun, great pvp, and I beleive the game is on a great path.

Final Thoughts

Bugs: None game-breaking, but crashes, and losing gear over bugs like not being able to exit vehicle, not able to connect, "Please wait" etc, can be quite annoying.

Pvp: Very fun, feels just like the good old WarZ.

Hackers: Haven't ran into a single hacker, but have seen 2 encounters clearly using ESP ( if you played any of the previous titles.. this is insane.) but overall the anti hacks are comforting.

Looting: Tons of loot, easy to obtain. Feels more like collecting items from a warehouse rather than searching for that awesome rare loot.

Survival: I wouldn't say this is even implemented yet. They have a specific mode called survival that is not yet released, and all the servers are aimed towards pvp currently.

PayToWin?: No, not at all. Pay to be lazy? Yes. But developers deserver to make money, and they have a good system. If you can buy it, you can earn it. With the exeption of air drops, but if you are good, you can steal them. They made need some tweaking, but they aren't half bad currently. I didn'teven want to mention this topic, but someone needs to say it.

This is a good game so far, still has much work left to be done, but definitely worth trying out.

Highly Recommend
