Project Zomboid Early Access (Build 27#1)
--------------------------------------------

Simply the best top down zombie survival horror game ever made with immense depth to craftable items, cooking, farming, scavenging & looting, building & construct of bases. You will need to prepare for the utilities to shut off at any point, figure out how to craft a fire, maintain a constant water supply, locate seeds to plant & farm, hunt & trap game, fortify & barracade existing buildings or build your own base.
One bite/scratch is often all it takes & you yourself will become one of the undead. If this happens no worries though, just fire up a new character & continue in same game world, any bases built will still be there & you can even visit the zombified you and end their suffering. +100

Has multiple modes (Survival, Sandbox, Last stand, Multiplayer)

Survival - Survive for as long as you can in open sandbox world, the utilities (gas/electric) will go off soon & at any point.
Sandbox - Same as survival but allows for custom game preferences. Changing the zombie lore (weaker/harder, faster/slower), changing the infection mortaility and transmission methods, reanimation speed & decomposition effects, enabling utilities gas/electric to stay on for anything upto 5 in game years.
Last Stand - Challenge mode - You alone in house must defend against the waves of zombified hordes.
Multiplayer - Not tried it as of writing so won't comment, the general concensus however seems overall positive.

If you are more interested in the base building aspects of this game rather than the survival then you may want to check out the NecroForge mod for PZ which is an in-game item spawner & then you can pick a spot and get building without worrying about supplies.

You may want to check out...
• Project Zomboid Map Project (Benjamin 'blindcoder' Schieder). Superb map thats gives a greater overall scope for you to plan your survival.
• The Project Zomboid Wiki over at pzwiki.net for information on all aspects of PZ from crafting to charcter building.
• The PZ mods such as NecroForge, Zspawn etc

Pro
----
Immense depth to craftable items
Massive game world (Will only get bigger nearer to full release)
Multiple game modes - Survival, Sandbox, Last stand, Multiplayer
NPC's are coming which will add even more depth to gameplay
If you come for a zombie horror or apocolypse base building simulator you won't be disappointed

Con
----
Needs a rotate ability - sometimes when base building I will find somthing I cannot destroy (Railings etc) as its behind another object or simply I'm just unable to select to destroy - could be mitigated easily with a rotate function.
Needs armour crafting out of stuff like phone books & duct tape, ice hockey gear etc.
Need more clothing items such as raincoats, wellies, thermals.
Needs power generator (siphon fuel from garage/car) or solar panels from houses that can be crafted into providing usable power for your base for fridges, lights.
Needs an mp3 or walkman that requires batteries, which when listened to will raise mood.
Needs a flaming samurai sword.

Build 27#1 Verdict - 9/10 (It will only get better)
