What is it that makes this game indulgent? Freedom, choice, a minimalist approach, crafting and the fact that it’s a unique experience every single time. This aimless wandering was only scratching the surface as once you allow yourself to indulge a little, time begins to seem like a concept, and the hours start to clock up. Punching zombies with your bare hands aren’t as useful as a hammer. Not for the sake of it, but purely because the movement wasn’t very responsive and I was learning the ropes.

Taking off the judgement goggles for a moment, I went back in, a little fresh-faced and allowed myself to die a few more times. Engaging in my first contact with a zombie, I was already dismissive of the game and thought I’d come back to it when in a different frame of mind. The animation of the character was clunky, they’d hover mid-air, and the speed at which this all happened was abysmal. I know that.Īfter spending a laughable amount of time I do with customisation options, making an avatar for each member of the household, I entered a game and was unimpressed. We’ll get back to the customisation section in a minute (maybe), so I can make my point that it’s not all about visuals. I rarely play Minecraft, but I get the lure.

Have a look at the screenshots and Unturned, from Smartly Dressed Games, looks quite nice. So, when I arrived at the Unturned menu and character creation, I immediately had my doubts. It looked like a flaky lawn cigar and smelt worse. This was one of the main reasons why I wouldn’t let her play, but also, I didn’t get why she’d want to.

Using my daughter as an example again, she used to hound me to play Roblox online but having monitored it, it was a dreadful free-for-all playground-like chaos, as if it were Lord of the Flies rules without any grown-ups about. It might make sense in a minute, but I doubt it. Unturned PS4 Reviewīear with me I’m following on from the above. The err, lack of control other than mute. That’s a rarity to have the control, and one of the many reasons I don’t play online. The other bonus other than playing with my daughter is that it’s not a toxic environment (possibly because all her friends are local and know that they’ll be in trouble if they misbehave – I know their parents).
