Infectonator Survivors (Getting out of the to-be nuked city onto the next. Maybe go for a country house instead???)

PR: The zombie virus from Infectonator has already destroyed a significant portion of the population, so the goverment decides to bomb all major cities, and the not-so-major ones as well. Now, the game calls it "nuking" but I'm gonna go ahead and suppose that the game goverment, as stupid as goverments are in zombie media, wouldn't really pollute the already apocaliptic world with radiation just for the kicks of it. 

As a group, or rather a ragtag bunch consisting of a so-called scientist, a "policeman" that can't stop repeating "Stay frosty guys", a cheerleader that's suspiciously good with guns and a... construction worker? Fireman? Lumberjack? Something blue-collar like that, you have to fix a car that's thoroughly destroyed and it's apparently the only car in the city in order to get out the city in fifteen days. 
In case you're wondering why not just walk out the city during the fifteen days rather than look around for autoparts that may not even be there, adquiring some from dubious characters and praying RNGsus for the rest, yeah. That's not an option, do these look like walking shoes to you?  
I would like to mention that when you eventually adquire the car, it breaks down after reaching the next city. Why did they choose to go to another city when the goverment is bombing cities? Good question

They changed it to "journalist", but I swear it was cheerleader for like a decade

 
Really good looking, and entertaining for the first couple hours.

 As the gameplay advances and you start seeing the same five maps over and over again, fighting the same zombies, some of which are extremely annoying like the really tanky, speedy one that explodes on death and kills everyone close to it, the fun starts draining really quickly.

 Pair to this, the game is plagued with mechanics that make everything feel like a drag. The characters walk too slowly, the "exploration" maps are too big and you need to cover 80% of it while being sieged by Zeds, if you don't have a specialized character "search" takes thirty seconds and you have to do it dozens of times per map.



 I'd give it a lower score, but I can't shake the feeling that it could be a good game if someone put some work into it. 4/10

Introducing NO HOPE rating system

The conventional five-star and ten-out-of-ten rating systems have become stale, visually uninspired, and inadequate for capturing the nuance...
