Been wanting to try out Zombi out for a while now, especially given how mixed everyone's thoughts are on the game.
A lot of gamers expect a Dead Island/Dying Light type of Zombie game. Its far from them. This is a true survival horror game. Its like playing Resident Evil 1 in a FPS style. Its great, I enjoyed it. Not for everyone.
It's a great game. Suspensful as survival horror should be. Only problem I have with the xbox one version is it's a bit buggy and can crash a few times. Definitely pick it up though.
I've only played Zombi U and can't imagine playing it without the gamepad. Seems like it would totally take away from its charm.
The 360 games are better
Nice list. Also, how awesome would it be if original xbox games would also be added to the monthly gold games
wow nice Zombi for free thats great! i would like to try it
Zombi was an easy plat.
Looks like a solid month, especially thanks to BC. The Army of Two sequel is the best though, third was the worst.
I disagree, I really like it. I pray on a sequel.
