Generation Zero Reviews
Generation zero is a game that came out from nonentity to simply return to it, even if the Avalanche manage to resolve all the plentiful flaws, this experience will remain as an ideal symbol for emptiness, for boredom and for purposeless

Generation Zero is an ambitious title with a strong idea, but fails when it tries to execute that wonderful idea. The world of Generation Zero is big but shallow, and in single-player mode, you’ll probably get bored after several hours. Whoever, if you team-up with some friends, you will probably enjoy its apocalyptic atmosphere set in the 80s, along with its great music and sound design.

At times it’s dreadfully boring; other times it’s wildly exciting. It doesn’t want to make your life easy, but then throws so much resources your way that being downed is trivial. It looks great, but it has a lot of bugs that will only make you able to view the game as ugly.
Generation Zero is a hardcore multiplayer game that needs you and your partners to have tactics in battles and even with team-work, it is still a difficult game and makes you a challenging co-op experience. If you trying to play Generation Zero solo, you made a big mistake, because after a few hours and appearing bigger robots, it would be almost impossible to proceed further in solo, because of unbalanced difficulty level. Generation Zero has a nice concept of a robotic crisis in an 80's sci-fi sweden and tells you a nice story in a beautiful world. beside these good aspects, the game has also some big issues like awful inventory managemnt, technical problems, some repetative activities and unbalance difficulty level in solo. In the end i must say that if you are looking for a hardcore team-work based open world co op shooter, Generation Zero is a good choice to play, but remember to play it "only" in co op.

Generation Zero is an amalgamation of ideas, some of them pretty decent, but none executed with any great level of confidence. Despite the surprisingly strong atmosphere, gameplay annoyances and serious technical issues prevent it from having a chance to survive.
So beautiful and so boring and repetitive quests and gameplay. Play it in cooperation and maybe you can stay a bit longer in this dull world.

A great premise that was terribly executed. Generation Zero is painfully boring and repetitive.
Generation Zero has a nice and very different atmosphere compared to titles with similar settings but there is a clear lack of focus here that makes the whole experience a little boring.

You have to work hard to love GZ and in the end, you will probably fail. The game, though promising, had an entertaining and lasting effect that could be entertained for hours, but the release now suffers from numerous setbacks, making it impossible to recommend it to anyone. Maybe someday the game will get better, no one knows, but what is clear is Avalanche's mistaken view of a PvE-based game.

I love the ideas that Avalanche brought to the table and there are moments where Generation Zero gets it right. The emptiness of the large world might annoy me because it feels superfluous, but it does create a sense of isolation which mixes nicely with the roaming bands of robots to create a tense atmosphere, at least for the first hour or two. I also enjoyed the more careful approach to combat, the fantastic robot designs and teaming up with friends or even random players. Sadly, though, the core mechanics of stealth, shooting and looting didn’t click with me. Yet, I’d still like to see a sequel because there’s some great potential on show in Generation Zero.
This strange unknown game that takes place in rural Sweden tries its best to be a great open-world survival game and it comes dangerously close to it. However, it falters in almost all of its aspects and ends up being a frustrating and mediocre experience. Glimpses of something great are to be had, but this game should have been in Early Access and iterated upon instead of giving us an incomplete romp through the cold north.
Generation Zero is a game propelled by its ability to be played with a group of friends. While its technical systems may be flawed, its world and mechanics are still engaging enough for fun-times-with-mates.
Generation Zero is an empty, meandering and completely boring experience.
You have to give Avalanche Studios props for crafting a very interesting world, but their efforts weren't quite enough. Right now, there's just no reason to play Generation Zero, but once it gets fixed and tweaked a bit, it could be worth trying

If you miss the ’80s then Generation Zero may be the game for you, personally though I thought it was an odd choice for this style of game. It truly was a beautiful looking game which has been dragged down by the poor gameplay. Maybe if the map was smaller and more condensed then it would have appealed to me more, as well as not being as tedious and boring with the vast open nothingness.
On the whole I enjoyed my Swedish adventure with Generation Zero, as this kind of shooter that involves stealth and strategy over gung-ho firepower is more my kind of thing.
Avalanche's successes in world-building and player freedom are significant, but insufficient to turn this love song to 1980s Sweden into a hit.
It’s pretty to look at, but is such a jumbled mess and we couldn’t get our heads around it…a bit like their furniture, then.
This game feels, looks and plays like a title in advance access. I think it will be good someday because I think it has the potential and character enough, but I do not think it is his day of departure and surely not soon either.

Generation Zero could have been a much better game than it actually is. I feel like it’s almost too simple to just collect ammunition and medpacks. If they had added some sort of hunger system or survival mechanics I would have had a much more enjoyable time. Randomizing item placement in the world would have been a plus aswell. The world seems to be static for the most part. I also encountered a handful of crashes while playing that seemingly reset some of my progress, but those can and will probably be patched quickly. To sum up, gameplay was fun for a few hours, but once I put it down I had a hard time wanting to go back to it. It’s nice to look at albeit a bit drab in the color department. The style of music Avalanche has chosen to go with is something that appeals to me. So Generation Zero has pros and cons to it, and it has a lot of potential if they add some DLC down the road.
