“( some tips with classes and with game below if someone wants. you can write in comments if you have something to add or dont agree) I will start with review... Good game but need some more work core gameplay is good.…”
“I really want to like this game. I'm a complete sucker for zombie survival games. I have hundreds of hours in Project Zomboid, State of Decay, 7 Days to Die, and many others. There's a lot of really good stuff in this…”
“Love every single aspect of it, extremely real, no shortcut, no help, only survival. Every action takes time, everything you build takes time, like in real life. Amazing.”

“If the hardcore gameplay of Zomboid is too much for you I think this is a perfect alternative. Excited to see what they decide to add in coming updates. I've literally only explored a quarter of the map in my time…”
“Massive improvements compared to versions before 1.0. Been craving a casual zombie survival game for a while and this hits the spot.”
“The game has a great core and foundation. It needs more time, but that's okay. It's got plenty for now, but if you plan to leave PZ or other Zombie survivors, just wait for more cooking. The team is pretty communicative…”

“As I hardcore survival game player, who has hundreds of hours playing 7 Days to Die, Subsistence, How to Survive 2 and others, I can easily say that this game has a lot of potential and is in a great shape already! We…”
“I've gotten food poisoning, bleed to death, been killed 5 times by zombies & bandits, let 2 horses die, drank dirty toilet water, watched my cabbage refuse to grow, searched for car parts for 25 hours & drank more…”
“MUST BUY if you love survival games. Gameplay : solo on easiest difficulty.(Even that is not easy) I don't get the negatif reviews. In the 47 hours I played never had a bug. Not one. My rig ain't the newest so an old pc…”

“Alright, listen up, survivor-wannabes. If you’ve ever looked at Project Zomboid and thought, "Man, I wish this had fewer spreadsheets and more 3D 'run-for-your-life' energy," then HumanitZ is basically your new toxic…”
“honestly, mixed impressions of the gameplay. the zombie apocalypse theme is definitely cool, but I don't recommend buying this game for the full price. from the first minute, you can see that the game is raw:…”

“Good game. Its like a simplified version of Project Zomboid with upgraded graphics. Quite a few bugs for devs to fix. I played it with a few friends in a server. Mods supported (nexusmods). Not so simple to setup mods…”
“One of the few zombie survivor games where you can just chill and kill zombies through PVE or you can join a PVP server and make it "competitive" for yourself or your team.”

“At first I thought the game was really good looking and fun, but after a short time growing pains hit and I learned it's lacking a bunch of necessary things to make for a good zombie survival. Weapon durability is…”
“I didn't realise this had actually been released into 1.0. Instantly greeted with screen size bugs which were extremely annoying. Decided to give it a go whilst waiting for mods to get patched for the new Project…”
“Sadly, despite its possible depth, some of its clever moments and interesting angle, this game is simply not good enough to spend time on. The controls are very clunky, the interactions with NPCs sub par and the camera…”

“They haven't even changed the pawn movement from the Unreal Engine template. Everything feels unpolished and clunky. The art is generic and there's nothing special about it. I don't even know how people compare this…”
