Review: Ground Zero - A classic survival horror feel that [pays] homage to the classics of the genre. It [stays] authentic to the survival horror heyday [but feels] just a little more approachable and accessible to modern audiences in all the best ways.

A lot of early negative reviews were from the difficulty. On top of ammo starvation, there’s also some modern action game mechanics: You can dodge and parry enemy attacks (in a tank control manner), and also have a very difficult mechanism to execute “critical hits”, spending just one bullet to kill an enemy in one hit.

The end result I got was, you can’t just always go for crits. But if you never do, you run out of ammo fast. Melee combat is an option too for weak enemies. So, for every fight, there’s a bit of decisionmaking on how to conserve resources.

Loved the demo, will definitely be checking out the full game
