About Project New World:
Project New World is probably one of the best games I played in recent memory. Surviving long enough to drive through snow in winter and seeing the absolute erosion of buildings in once lively towns that match that of their former inhabitants is a nice, immersive touch. The soundtrack is great and gives a feeling of hopeful loneliness, and does a great job of keeping your adrenaline pumping while you deal with a massive horde of at least 20 zombies, but this game is one of the few games where sometimes you just turn off the audio and hear the sound of the rain fall on the pothole ridden pavement underneath your feet as you search for materials to improve your stash at home. This is a game with a steep learning curve that feels rewarding to master. When you load into a save, it tells you every time that “This is how you died,” and it means it. The slightest mistake could lead to your survivor’s death, and there is no rolling back to a previous save state. Zombies may be slow, but don’t let that fool you, they are still incredibly dangerous and can spell the end of your survivor if you don’t choose your battles wisely. They’re pretty much the primary threat, but when you get to base building you quickly find out OSHA was not lying when you fall off a two story building and break your leg from carrying too much, or worse: dying.
