The context sensitive actions, such as picking items up, can be off from where the item is, making grabbing weapons in a hurry an issue. If you’re playing solo and happen to get swarmed, it’s pretty much a death sentence without high-powered weaponry.Īpart from not being an easy game, the Unturned console port can be a little frustrating to control at points. I died the first half-dozen times because even armed with a solid melee weapon it can take a good few strikes to the head to take down the blocky-zombies, and they don’t stagger easily. Even though Unturned may have a more colourful, Minecraftian veneer to it, it’s easily as punishing as any other zombie survival game. While I was admittedly skeptical of the Roblox-esque graphics and that perception that this was a “kid’s game”, those sentiments immediately faded away.
There is an exceptional amount of charm to each map, and I had a lot of fun exploring every area. After spending some time in each map you will start to notice a handful of similarities between some of the structures and layouts, but each map has unique locations that are as fun to explore as they are useful.
The diversity of the different biomes is fun to play through, and work has been done to bring these regions to life with essential landmarks and topography. One of my favorite aspects of Unturned are the eight decently sized maps that take you across the world, including to Prince Edward Island, a little province off the Eastern coast of Canada. You can venture into one of the eight maps solo, or join the online community for up to 24 player games if you’re feeling social. You’re dropped into a location with only the clothing on your back, and you must scavenge for supplies in infested areas so that you can craft the necessary items, keep yourself alive, and eventually (hopefully) craft a base to keep you safe from the shambling hordes. Unturned follows the general formula for the open-world zombie survival games we’ve seen in the past generation, with a blocky twist. It was released initially on Steam Greenlight in 2014 by one-man Canadian developer Nelson Sexton, who started his work on the title when he was only 16.
Unturned began its life as a Roblox game called Deadzone, which was essentially a Blox-version of DayZ, with some base-building elements, assuming that you can survive long enough to craft a base. Unturned is still a free-to-play game on Steam, but players will have to fork over $25 to play the console port of the game, which is arguably a fair price for the depth of the title. While it may combine many elements that we’ve seen before, Unturned is sure to scratch that itch for a new survival experience on consoles. While the game doesn’t present any exceptionally unique takes on the open-world survival or base-building genres, there is a charm to the simple design that is immediately apparent, and a depth of gameplay that was wholly unexpected by this reviewer. Six years after its initial release, blocky zombie survival game Unturned has shambled its way onto Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
