Maybe I’m just too used to Project Zomboid’s jank, but HumanitZ didn’t impress me too much. I only played for an hour or so, so I don’t really have much at stake here, but I just couldn’t get into it. The controls for controller were pretty bad, but that’s not new for this genre (Zomboid is similarly a nightmare), crafting is a little grindy, and I somehow still felt lost despite the existence of quests. I’ll have to wait for a few more updates to kick in or play a longer session to really feel what everyone else likes about this, I think.
The combat’s nice, though.
As developer of Ravenhearst for 7 Days to Die not many games hit the nail on the head for me, but this one does. It has tons of zombies, a need to scavenge and no shortcuts. Seasons, fishing, vehicles, everything you expect but sometimes do not get elsewhere are here!
What if one day humanity hit rock bottom, ravaged by a devastating zombie epidemic? Your only mission: survive. No muscle-bound heroes or endless arsenals here, just you, your ingenuity, and a handful of resources in a vast, hostile, and desolate world (throw in a WB Studios trailer and you’d think you’re watching I Am Legend). So, ready to face hunger, fear, and hordes who only have one thing on their mind: tasting your brain? Grab a bat, some nails, and dive into the unforgiving world of HumanitZ!
As for the story, the general plot is quite classic for the genre: humanity is on the brink of extinction, resources are scarce, and zombies lurk at every corner. You must explore an open world, search for food, water, weapons, and build shelters to protect yourself.
Regarding gameplay, HumanitZ offers a mix of exploration, survival, and resource management, with a little nod to Project Zomboid, though less complex. From a top-down perspective, you rummage through abandoned houses, look for food, craft tools, and try to build a shelter to survive a bit longer. But be careful, every action counts: making too much noise while scavenging or using a firearm can quickly attract a horde of zombies… or hostile NPCs. The game also adds an RPG touch, with skills to improve and equipment to customize, allowing you to adapt your playstyle to this unforgiving world.
The 3D isometric graphics of HumanitZ have a somewhat dated style, but they carry a certain retro charm. The environments are detailed, though sometimes their emptiness and repetitiveness become apparent. The top-down view remains a real advantage, offering good readability of the action. As for the animations of the zombies and characters, they don’t reinvent the wheel, but they serve their purpose and reinforce the survival atmosphere. It’s not the prettiest game in the genre, but it manages to establish an atmosphere that perfectly fits its post-apocalyptic world.
Let’s move past the negatives and talk about the gameplay. The character controls take a little time to get used to, especially with camera management, but they allow for fairly fluid movement in combat. That being said, the combat encounters lack balance: sometimes, you crush a zombie without it getting a chance to react, and other times, you take a series of hits without being able to defend yourself. The person who lands the first blow always seems to have the advantage, but the combat mechanics still lack clarity. Since the game is in early access, we can expect significant improvements in future updates.
Overall, HumanitZ offers a captivating survival experience with its strengths and a few imperfections. However, being in early access, it has the potential to improve significantly over time. If you’re a fan of survival games with a touch of tension and exploration, it’s worth checking out while we wait for the next updates.
HumanitZ is an open world survival game. You start with nothing, start looting for essentials early on, start crafting, building a base, finding cars etc. Scavenge and hunt for food. Stay healthy and gather med supplies. There are seasons and you need the right gear, especially for the extreme cold events in winter. It’s immersive and there’s always something to do. I think it’s a great balance between working on your base, crafting, gathering resources, keeping the zombie hordes at bay, and avoiding or fighting. Although it’s in early access, the game is very nice. The Dev’s are very active in the community, have a solid road map, lots of updates and patches. Every update brings fixes to existing bugs, qol improvements, and new content. I can’t wait to see how this goes!
I’m a huge fan of survival games, and this scratches an itch when I just want to chill alone in a desolate zombie apocalypse. The game does have online PVP and PVE servers with re-spawning loot but up to this point I’ve been enjoying exploring and surviving the world solo.
This one is a lot of fun if you’re in the open world survival genre! Worth it!
Great game to try out, something similar to Project Zomboid but more beginner friendly.
Humanitz is very similar to Project Zomboid or even DayZ which is a good thing because both of them are brilliant games.
It’s a nice small open world with plenty to explore and plenty to loot.
Killing zombies and Bandits feels very rewarding, and especially when you successfully build defenses and you fend them off.
I like the fact that there is variety in the game from character creation to different type of zombies and different type of weapons.
It certainly has a lot of potential, and it’s a good thing that the devs continue updating the game periodically.
With that being said, it’s worth giving it a shot in my opinion 🙂
