Gameplay has been refined over the decades but there’s a lot of lessons to be learned from the classics and here everything feels off and clunky to some degree but not in a broken way.įirstly, you spawn randomly on the level (of which there are ten or so choices).

If this was put together by a 16 year old, that’s impressive but that’s presumably a kid who might have missed out on a lot of classic game experiences. The main one is something that many games struggle with which is to say that just because you’re clever enough to code a game, that doesn’t mean you’re good at designing gameplay. The game does have problems which are apparent early on. Not wishing to get to jacked up by fellow humans, I went for the offline mode first. Your main menu gives you some customisation options and a choice of online and offline modes. We were completely new to Unturned until we fired it up for review and so it’s easier to speak from that perspective and firing this game up for the first time is a little daunting. The visuals are similar and the game’s mix of exploration, crafting and survival all ties in with that assessment. On first appearances, the game seems to be a pretty straightforward take on Minecraft. Here in Console Land, the game is relatively unknown but it has now been released on PS4 (and Xbox One), albeit with very little fanfare. The story seems to be that it was made by a 16 year old Canadian kid using Unity assets (although there is a conspiracy theory that this was actually developed by a team but we don’t know, or really care, about any of that). Unturned is an open-world zombie survival game that has been around for years on the PC where it has a thriving community and a big modding scene.
