World Zero

World Zero is a pretty good first game by its developer. Is it perfect, no. There are certainly some flaws, but again it's the Dev's first game, The game is rather short, only 3-4 hours. Most of that time is spent exploring the vast open world and meeting it's many inhabitants. Some of these inhabitants may even join your party and help fight the games many Bosses. But the game does have many issues. It does feel like a bit of a grind to search every spot on the map looking for items for your party. During my 2nd play through I skipped a portion of the penultimate map and missed acquiring a new party member. There also errors in the game and quests that cannot be completed, which during my 1st and 2nd play through was quite confusing. The biggest disappointment for the game was the conclusion. Many of the characters and Party Members have intricate back stories and motivations. After the big bad is defeated, these motivations are mostly abandoned. The ending unfortunately feels like a rush job. Overall I would give this game a 5.5 out of 10. There's a lot of good moments in it. But it peaked around the 2nd level during the fight with the Spiders. The errors in game quests and lack of conclusions for characters holds this game back from being rated higher. Ultimately I do recommend people play this game because it has its moments and I would like to encourage the developer to continue working and producing new material. They clearly have some talent.
