Infestation: The New Z

Infestation: The New Z lives in the older school of online zombie shooters, where scavenging, staying alive, and watching other players matter as much as fighting the infected. By our assessment, its main appeal is the open-ended survival loop: move, loot, avoid trouble, and decide whether a fight is worth the risk. The downside is that this kind of game can feel rough and familiar if someone wants strong polish or a clear story path; it is more about persistence than elegance. In practice the game asks for patience, map sense, and a willingness to accept rough edges as part of the package. Compared with more modern survival shooters, Infestation: The New Z sits closer to the sandbox end of the shelf than to anything streamlined. It is the sort of game that fits players who want a scrappy survival MMO rather than a tidy shooter campaign.
