Ten years ago, I would have been very excited to play The Front, yet in 2024, it's just too generic and uninspired to stand out in an already crowded genre.

While Soulmask goes a long way towards revitalising the sandbox survival genre, it's still early days, and some of the developer's design choices are questionable, to say the least.

After failing and flailing about like a decked fish for several years, Ubisoft not only has a successful free-2-play title, but it has created a game which has the potential to become a cornerstone of the FPS genre.

Night of the Dead is an excellent attempt at making a "better survival game" that unfortunately falls just short of doing so.
