The Real Review

Ground Zero is a solid, well-loved retro survival horror game, with people praising its tense atmosphere, satisfying gunplay, and the compelling story of South Korea after a meteor impact. While the punishing difficulty turns some players off, the bigger issue is performance, which is cited by many as a major, frustrating flaw, especially on PC and related platforms like Steam. The game is considered a great value, and features like its classic tank controls and fixed camera angles are big hits with fans who see it as a worthy homage.
