I wish I could forget the 10 minutes that I spent with this game 🤢🤖👎

One of the PS Plus Essential titles for September 2023 was Generation Zero. I had never heard of this game and after playing it, I wish I still hadn't heard of it.

Generation Zero is an open-world action-adventure video game developed and published by Avalanche Studios. Released in 2019, it offers players a captivating blend of survival, exploration, and combat set in a post-apocalyptic 1980s Sweden. The game unfolds in an alternate history where the countryside is plagued by menacing machines, and players take on the role of a young survivor trying to uncover the mystery behind the robotic invasion. The game's atmospheric setting, richly detailed world, and cooperative gameplay mechanics make it a unique and engaging experience for players.

One of the standout features of Generation Zero is its emphasis on tactical combat and teamwork. Players must utilize stealth and strategy to outsmart the robotic foes, which often outnumber and outgun them. The game encourages cooperation with up to three friends, allowing players to form a team and tackle challenges together. This cooperative aspect adds depth to the gameplay, fostering communication and collaboration as players strategize to take down the machines and uncover the secrets of the game's world.

Generation Zero also excels in its environmental storytelling. Instead of relying heavily on traditional cutscenes or dialogue, the game encourages players to piece together the narrative through clues, collectibles, and environmental details scattered throughout the world. This approach immerses players in the mystery of the game's setting and rewards exploration. As players uncover the story behind the robotic invasion, they become more deeply immersed in the eerie and atmospheric world of "Generation Zero. Overall, the game offers a distinctive and challenging experience that combines survival, teamwork, and discovery in a visually stunning post-apocalyptic landscape.

Although I didn't like this game one bit, evidently there are some people who do enjoy it. To me it just felt too old and I didn't like the overall feel of the game. You will see my frustrations first-hand in my gameplay video today. Enjoy me being pissed off for 10 minutes straight.
