The Real Review

Ground Zero nails its retro survival horror vibe, with most people loving its punishing, resource-scarce gameplay and surprisingly great graphics. The atmosphere and fixed camera angles are a hit, and characters like Seo-Yeon get a lot of love. The main problems are technical, with performance issues like crashes and frame drops being a constant complaint across all platforms, especially PC and Xbox. The brutal difficulty also turns off a fair number of players, but if you're into a tough, classic-style horror challenge, it's considered a solid value.
