Project zomboid ?
Now that I think about it, my answer easily could have been any number of zombie games I play, but in this case it was indeed Project Zomboid.
Could have been DayZ too but imo, only zomboid truly delivers on that sentiment of struggling to survive in a zombie apocalypse.
DayZ kinda does too but on most servers it feels like it's mostly about surviving societal collapse in a region where guns and ammo are way more abundant than other resources and survivors have very few reasons to trust each other
Yeah, something about PZ just really strikes that hopeless feeling that other zombie games I've played haven't been able to do.
