Engaging and fun gunplay with smooth controls and satisfying combat mechanics.
Addictive progression and loadout system that rewards boss fights and encourages repeated play.
Great multiplayer experience that is best enjoyed with friends, fostering teamwork and strategic cooperation.

High difficulty and unbalanced AI, especially at higher waves, making solo play very challenging and sometimes frustrating.
Limited content in current alpha state, including small map size, few bosses, scarce ammo and loot, leading to repetitiveness.
Technical issues such as bugs, stun-locks on damage interrupting actions like reloading, poor pathfinding, and lack of quality-of-life features like pause, save, and better multiplayer support.

Gameplay in this game is widely described as fun, addictive, and having solid core mechanics, with satisfying gunplay and engaging zombie threats that differ from typical slow enemies. However, many reviewers note the gameplay loop feels repetitive and short, with limited loot variety, some clunky controls, and a lack of depth in objectives or mechanics such as stealth or building, which hinder long-term engagement. Despite these shortcomings, especially given its alpha status, the gameplay shows strong potential and enjoys praise for its smooth combat, co-op mode, and enjoyable survival elements, encouraging anticipation for future updates.
- “The mechanics and game feel are solid, the gameplay loop is satisfying and the co-op is really good as well; I had zero bugs or lag issues. This is a really good foundation for an amazing game.”
- “While still an alpha, the mechanics already offer a satisfying loop: fight, loot, grow stronger, and take advantage of new gear to push deeper into the city and challenge tougher foes.”
- “So me and my friend scroll on free games just when we were bored not expecting anything good but we came across this and downloaded it for laughs then within 5 minutes of gameplay we were questioning why this game was so well made. It's genuinely so much fun for no reason, we just finished an almost 2 hour run and it has a ton of replayability.”
- “The gameplay loop is short, with no major objectives, the map is ugly and all the same, and mechanics are confusing (for example, you can't crouch). Compared to the original game, which also had a short gameplay loop, here the scale is bigger but less engaging.”
- “Loot is very scarce and the gameplay consists mainly of running around trying to find ammo, which is very rare.”
- “Clunky controls and repetitive gameplay make for a frustrating experience.”

The game's graphics are generally described as simple, blocky, or "Minecraft-style," with opinions divided between finding them charming or outdated and unappealing. While some praise the smooth performance, customization options, and artistic style suited for low-end PCs, others criticize the visuals as poor or unpolished. Overall, graphics are not the main appeal but are considered adequate for the gameplay experience.
- “At its core, Zumbi Blocks 2 Open Alpha is a free zombie survival shooter built with simple, block-style graphics and rich survival mechanics.”
- “The blocky graphics are charming, and gunplay feels surprisingly good for such an early build.”
- “Despite its alpha status, the game exhibits promising mechanics and polished visuals, hinting at a future iteration poised to captivate enthusiasts of the survival genre.”
- “The graphics are awful, the tutorial is too long, and it's not the type of game I was looking for overall.”
- “First off, the graphics are a major letdown.”
- “The blocky, outdated visuals might be intended to mimic a certain style, but they come across as poorly executed and unappealing.”

The game currently lacks a developed story, with players noting its absence as a key drawback that makes the gameplay feel repetitive and aimless. Reviewers suggest that adding a storyline, more varied missions, and bosses would greatly enhance engagement and give the game more meaningful progression. Despite this, many still enjoy the core gameplay, especially when played with friends.
- “Played this alone and with friends too and I like the idea, but it falls short in many areas like bare bones map design, no real story, and limited information about the goal other than playing the short one large city area and killing a few bosses. However, I enjoyed features like upgrades, items found, and interactive benches.”
- “This is an amazing game with huge potential and is very fun but it feels very repetitive and boring after a while (understanding it's unfinished). I feel adding different bosses, a story, or variety in building types would improve the gameplay experience.”
- “I do, still playing old version of this game, but I've got to say, good game. Maybe more story or bosses and it would be perfect (I know it's open alpha, just saying).”
- “Played this alone and with friends too and I like the idea, but it falls short in many ways like being bare bones in map design with no real story and limited information about the goal other than playing in one large city area and killing a few bosses.”
- “Especially when there is (currently) no real method to my knowledge of learning the plot you are trying to put across.”
- “This is an amazing game with huge potential and is very fun but it feels very repetitive and boring after a while (yes I understand that it's unfinished) but I feel maybe some different bosses, a story, or even just some difference in building types would help with the feel and push some amazing gameplay.”

The humor in the game is widely appreciated for its fun and often silly moments, especially when played with friends, adding to its charm and replayability. Some players find the game's quirky elements, like wacky zombie behavior and unexpected glitches, amusing, while others see certain balance and optimization issues as unintentionally funny. Overall, the humor is a strong and enjoyable aspect, blending lightheartedness with the game's challenging gameplay.
- “One of the funniest indie games I've ever played, this game is as hard as it is funny, even better with friends.”
- “Procedurally generated cities lead to funny map design, like houses that have a bedroom next to the entrance and three fire extinguishers on the same wall near each other.”
- “The game is very good and funny if you play with friends, but needs more content.”

The game experiences frequent bugs and visual glitches, such as problematic enemy pathfinding and occasional boss issues, which can disrupt gameplay but are rarely game-breaking. While some players find these bugs frustrating, others feel they add to the multiplayer fun. Overall, stability is inconsistent, with a mix of playable moments and noticeable technical flaws.
- “Fun, simple and surprisingly not buggy at all.”
- “I encountered frequent glitches that disrupted the gameplay and made the overall experience feel unstable.”
- “The main issue is just the fact that both of them (in initial stages especially) rely super heavily on movement, which is a great thing, if only the movement wasn't so buggy they got caught on each and every little corner.”
- “Bosses can be a bit buggy from time to time, especially the zombie queen who has a tendency to fly through walls and ceilings.”
grinding

Grinding in the game is described as a repetitive and sometimes tedious loop, often requiring significant time investment and a second life to manage. While the core gameplay of looting and battling can feel monotonous, many find it enjoyable once engaged, though the limited weapons and features make grinding feel less rewarding. Improvements like new weapons, modes, and more engaging mechanics could reduce frustration and enhance the overall experience.
- “Needs a lot more weapons and features; just farming for hours made me dislike the game.”
- “Very good game but frustrating because there's little skill involved, and the only way to have fun without grinding is to abuse exploits.”
- “On the surface, the core gameplay loop of looting, killing zombies, and killing bosses seems boring and tedious, but actually playing the game shows how fun it can be.”

The game's optimization is mixed, with some users praising its smooth and light performance even on low-spec devices, while others report frequent crashes, lag, and performance issues, especially during intense moments with many zombies. Overall, optimization needs improvement, but future updates could enhance stability and gameplay fluidity.
- “It's fun, light, and so optimized.”
- “Well optimized, balanced, plenty of variety, smooth and responsive controls.”
- “This is actually fun at first. I didn't think much of it until I tried it out and started to play around with a buddy. I have a bad RAM and even this game runs smoothly on my laptop.”
- “This game is so poorly optimized it's not even funny, crashes every 4 seconds, can't punch a zombie without the game completely giving up.”
- “That being said, the game as a whole is excellent and has a great concept with huge potential if the current issues are fixed and performance is improved.”
- “With the problems I mentioned here taken care of and more game optimizations (especially when there are a lot of zombie bodies), I believe the game will be in a pretty good state.”

Reviews highlight a lack of background music in the game, with many users suggesting the addition of atmospheric or apocalyptic-themed tracks to enhance immersion. While some appreciate the current sounds, most express a desire for more dynamic and relaxing music in future updates.
- “I relaxed for 5 minutes to this music long enough to realize that I was going to be okay.”
- “Awesome game, maybe on the next update you can make the map more apocalyptic vibe and scary background music.”
- “I missed the music, I hope when new updates and versions roll out for this game then they'll add some music.”
- “Due to its lack of music, I suggest adding something in the background unless you want to be alone with your thoughts and gunshots.”
- “No music. Many keybind sounds are quiet and mouse sensitivity is limited (at least for me, the last two are a problem).”
- “I missed the music. I hope when new updates and versions roll out for this game, they'll add some music.”

The game offers dynamic, engaging levels with strong initial replayability, especially enhanced by recent updates. However, some users note limited long-term replay value due to quick unlocks and scaling issues, with hopes that future content and features like permadeath will improve this. Overall, it provides a fun and addictive arcade experience.
- “Dynamic, replayable levels.”
- “The latest update made the game 10x more playable; I'm actually having fun playing this little zombie hunting game.”
- “Very funny and arcade but also hooks you up and has massive replayability.”
- “Although, after some time, there is a replayability problem, since it's quick to unlock everything in the game, but since it's in alpha, I have high hopes for future content!”
- “A way to tone back scaling would make this more playable.”
- “Permadeath would make this early alpha have more replayability but for testing purposes I understand why it doesn't.”
