ZERO Sievert

recent review-bombs coming in from people with no object permanence thinking that because ZS2 exists, ZS1 is suddenly some unfinished demo-state game (a statement they would not have made in their dozens of play hours before the sequel was announced) these are not genuine opinions of people capable of critical thinking. it's, at best, petulant whining from the type of people you have to explain sarcasm to. ZS is a very good game and a fantastic take on the extraction genre, especially as a PvE experience.

I think ZERO Sievert is a decent game at its core, and the idea behind it is genuinely interesting. A full solo extraction shooter is a rare thing on the market, and that alone already makes this project stand out. If you want a Tarkov-like loop without PvP, just you, the map, loot, and extraction - this game does deliver that experience. The basic gameplay loop works: you go on zone, bring back resources, upgrade your base, and slowly progress forward. In general, playing it feels okay, and I wouldn’t call it a bad game. Visually, the graphics are simple and minimalistic, but not terrible. They do their job and make the world readable. Sound design is also mostly fine: weapons and ambient sounds work well enough, and the atmosphere can feel tense during raids. On paper, the game has a lot of systems: base modules, weapon modding, factions, story progression, different regions, and crafting. All of this sounds great and gives the impression of depth. But in practice, many of these systems just don’t work properly or feel unfinished. The game has only six regions, and most of your time will be spent in the first one, the Forest, because the others are locked behind story progression. At the same time, crafting is not locked behind story progression at all. There are no unique items that can only be found in late-game zones, so you can fully upgrade your base without ever unlocking most of the zones. Once your base is maxed out, there is basically no reason to keep playing, because progression is already finished. Yes, there is weapon efficiency and player level progression, but experience is gained so slowly that grinding for it feels pointless. I tried to keep playing after upgrading my base and started doing story missions, but on the second quest the story bugged out completely and became impossible to continue. Because of that, I literally cannot access four out of six locations. That’s just absurd. It would have been much better if the game simply allowed access to all regions from the start and balanced them by placing stronger enemies in later areas. Weapon modularity also feels broken or unfinished. The game often marks parts as compatible with your weapon, but when you try to install them, it turns out you actually can’t. So you often just switch scopes. In general, there is almost no reason to use anything except sniper rifles. There is no dodge roll, so proper gunplay feels clumsy and unsafe. Pistols, SMGs, and shotguns just don’t make much sense compared to snipers, because sniping is the safest and most reliable way to play. Enemy density is also strange. There are fixed points of interest like warehouses, villages, or campfires where enemies will always spawn, which is fine. But the map is also filled with a huge number of animals. Most of the time you won’t even see them because of all the trees, and you will just bump into them at close range. When animals attack you, you get slowed down, and since there is no dodge roll, you often can’t escape. I’ve had many good raids ruined just because I suddenly ran into some animal I couldn’t see in time. The visual style also lacks consistency. It feels like the environment, character models, inventory items, and weapons were made by different people with different art styles. This graphical mismatch is very noticeable and breaks immersion. Sound design has another weird issue: the Geiger counter sound is used for many menu and inventory actions, so you constantly feel like you are in a radiation zone even when you’re not. Instead of helping the atmosphere, it just confuses and annoys. There also isn’t much music or ambient variety - most of the time you only hear sound effects. Crafting tracking is awkward too. If you mark an item you want to craft, the game does not count already collected materials as collected. It keeps highlighting them anyway, so you have to manually remember what you still need and what you don’t. Factions also behave oddly. One is always hostile, two can be made friendly quite easily by trading, although one of them I only met once. Another is always friendly, and the fifth one is marked as neutral but still attacks you on sight. Maybe this system becomes clearer later, but I couldn’t progress far enough because of the broken story quest. Overall, the main real strength of this game is that it is a true single-player extraction shooter, and there simply aren’t many games like that right now. Gameplay itself is not bad, and the core idea works. But because of boring and inconsistent visuals, broken or half-working mechanics, unresponsive gunplay, and especially the story bug that blocks access to most of the map, I can’t really recommend buying it in its current state. It has potential, and I wanted to like it more, but too many systems feel unfinished or poorly thought out.

This game have a lot of good things going. running around exploring and fighting is always nice - doing what YOU want. if you like tarkov and are looking for some solo top down experience, then sure. try it out.(ive had my fun tbh) but the thumbs down comes from dying to stupid things. The word's "what the ♥♥♥♥ just happened" Will become youre go to sentence for this game... Dying from, an unarmored bandit (that you outclass by far)- gettin shot from outside range to being lazered down without the chance to fight back. oh and also the aimbot exploiting ai will get you when they are alert. having long runs end because you fight something that is useually easy to beat - just dossent make sence btw, they are making a ZERO Sievert 2 which dossent look anything like Zs1. asking me. this one looks better - but again, the other one have Coop - so theres that. I want to love it - but i can't the game is not hard. its unbalanced.

This is the best game I've played in a long while when npcs fight eachother you know its good

説得力は俺の総プレイ時間を見てくれ。 まず、見て分かるだろうがだいぶ楽しんだ。PVEなので気楽なのが良い。 特に難易度をメチャクチャ細かく設定できるのが大変良い。ノーマル設定だとレベルもモリモリ上がるし、ベースの施設建設やクエスト資材もあっという間に集まる。というかアイテム出過ぎて何持って帰るか選ぶ作業が大変。なのでドロップ出現率などをごっそり削り、頑張って頑張って集める楽しみがもうね、良くて良くて。 お金も有り過ぎるので売却額率をがっつり削り、弾も敵から拾えると店買いや弾丸自作の機会が無いから弾ドロップも大きくカット。 で、敵も人と変異体でそれぞれHP設定できるから150％補正を入れた。これは通常の敵を映画のモンスター的な硬さにする意味で実行したが、大型種が地獄のように強くなってしまった。だがトラップ等を駆使すれば何とかなるものだ。この試行錯誤がこのゲームの醍醐味でもある。 地道に地道に、タルコフ等のサバイバルシューターで物拾いを延々したいプレイヤーにおすすめ。 現在日本プレイヤーコミュニティがかなり過疎っている。 原因はデビューから時間が経っている事もあるが、バグが多い点や、何よりMOD群が死滅しかけているのが大きい。 プレイキャラを可愛くする。モチベ上がるよね？ 勿論MODがあったしキャラクタ自作もした。 だがこのゲーム、なんとアプデが入る度にデータの格納場所がコロコロ変わるのだ。当然MOD類が壊滅的に使えなくなる。小アプデでも変わる。頑張ってたMOD作者達も疲れ果て去っていった。 現在Steamワークショップが開設され、中国圏にも販売されだして新規中国ユーザーの作ったMODがかなり増えた。外見MODも自分で画像入れてアドレス書いてとかしなくても使えるような環境になってきた。これはキャラクタ画像のアドレスが変わるなら、外見に干渉するアーマー画像で代用しようという試み（なのか？）で、服装のMODっぽく見えるのだが購入して装備すると服だけでなく外見が変わる。イイネ！ 本当に楽しいのでお勧めする。

the new distance mechanic is so awful and unfun its terrible I love doing 2 damage because the npc is 1 inch too close to me really fun. I love having recoil when npcs can beam you through tier 6 across the map full auto

Stash is overflowing with top-tier gear. I could retire, sell everything, and never set foot in the zone again. Instead I’m still loading in at 3am with a full kit I don’t even need, chasing that one more perfect raid. The zone doesn’t care how rich you are. 10/10 pure addiction.
