Generation Zero is a hardcore multiplayer game that needs you and your partners to have tactics in battles and even with team-work, it is still a difficult game and makes you a challenging co-op experience. If you trying to play Generation Zero solo, you made a big mistake, because after a few hours and appearing bigger robots, it would be almost impossible to proceed further in solo, because of unbalanced difficulty level. Generation Zero has a nice concept of a robotic crisis in an 80's sci-fi sweden and tells you a nice story in a beautiful world. beside these good aspects, the game has also some big issues like awful inventory managemnt, technical problems, some repetative activities and unbalance difficulty level in solo. In the end i must say that if you are looking for a hardcore team-work based open world co op shooter, Generation Zero is a good choice to play, but remember to play it "only" in co op.

At times it’s dreadfully boring; other times it’s wildly exciting. It doesn’t want to make your life easy, but then throws so much resources your way that being downed is trivial. It looks great, but it has a lot of bugs that will only make you able to view the game as ugly.

Generation Zero is an ambitious title with a strong idea, but fails when it tries to execute that wonderful idea. The world of Generation Zero is big but shallow, and in single-player mode, you’ll probably get bored after several hours. Whoever, if you team-up with some friends, you will probably enjoy its apocalyptic atmosphere set in the 80s, along with its great music and sound design.

Generation zero is a game that came out from nonentity to simply return to it, even if the Avalanche manage to resolve all the plentiful flaws, this experience will remain as an ideal symbol for emptiness, for boredom and for purposeless

Until then, if you're playing Generation Zero in a single player or with other people, you're in for a treat. You're going to experience something unique, and that in itself is valuable.

Playing with friends and a simple exploration are the most positive points about Generation Zero. Several flaws undermine the quality that Avalanche Studios' open-world cooperative game could've had. Enjoying the Sweden from the 80s is a really tough thing to do.

When I first read the premise of Generation Zero I was intrigued and before I even loaded the game up for the first time I was excited. I wanted to like this game. Unfortunately, the game quickly falls into a beautiful void of its own making.

Pointless, shallow and boring. It's really hard to point out what's good in with game.

Periodically beautiful yet consistently broken, Generation Zero's brand of monotonous, sterile and bug-riddled open-world first-person shooting is something that you should avoid at all costs.

Sadly, it just has too many problems for me to say it’s great in its current form. The devs have announced that they plan to work hard on fixing the many issues reported by players, and I really hope they succeed in that endeavor. Traipsing around 1980s Sweden surviving hordes of murderous robots is just too cool of an idea not to expand upon.

Generation Zero is a tragic story of mislaid potential and promise. The setting is unique and the game had potential to be a very memorable game, but unfortunately it fails to deliver anything meaningful.

No aspect of Generation Zero is remarkable. It feels like a hollow husk of an experience waiting to be filled in by players who will never come.

Generation Zero is the Wonder Bread of video games. It's solid and does what it does well, but it lacks any sort of excitement and will probably expire soon.

I wanted to like this so badly and was truly excited for it. I hate to say this but it is a waste of your time and money. Give this one a miss.

Generation Zero is a beautiful, broken, and boring jog through 1980s Sweden with a side of stealth and robots.

At the end of the day, I will gladly call ‘Generation Zero’ a good game. It brings new elements and ideas together in a unique setting that hasn’t been seen before. However, the game’s point of difference is also its biggest downfall due to a lack of consistency across all elements of gameplay.

A bunch of good ideas and a great setting just don't stand up in the face of terrible execution

...the longer you play the more problems you notice and the more you realise that the game simply doesn’t feel complete or coherent. I don’t think Generation Zero will be remembered fondly in the future, if remembered at all.
