Gotta be Project Zomboid, with Build 42 unstable out, there is a wealth of new things to test out. Quite buggy, unsurprisingly, like the bowl duplication glitch or whetstones being uncraftable. But that's peanuts to the fact that the map is expanded, animals are added, guns are totally different and crafting if much more interesting. And all the pieces of flavor! The randomized basements, novelty keychains, dice of all varieties, books and magazines have titles (and are no longer eaten by your character after reading) tons of new zombie stories (I found a silver ring on a "rude letter" on a kitchen counter, I guess a zombie apocalypse is a good time as any for divorce) it's just so much and so good. And it's not even all balanced or polished yet, it's only up from here!

Combat is also totally different, with muscle strain and randomized zombie behaviour, its more difficult to cheese them, and now leveling strength and weapon skills are doubly important as it reduces muscle strain. And guns, yes, no longer are they "melee weapons with a really long range." They actually spawn 3d bullet objects when fired and have to be aimed properly at the undead. Jams are too frequent tho, so I modded those out. The JS 200 shotgun is a real blast!

Well, not experiencing the "proper" game rn tho. Computer is very weak, so I reduced zombie count a lot. Still keep getting scratched tho, I blame lag!!
