Zenless Zone Zero reviewed by Sarah Thwaites on PC, also available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and mobile.
By leaning into early 2000s nostalgia and then blending it with a stylish vision of the future, Zenless Zone Zero crafts an inimitable world that’s easy to get invested in. Exploring New Eridu and getting to know this charming cast both in and out of combat was a thrilling ride I was keen to keep at for hours on end. It’s not necessarily as deep as many of its gameplay inspirations, and momentum-killing hacking puzzles can sometimes sour the mood – but with exhilarating, approachable combat and many extracurricular activities to take care of, it was always easy to turn a corner and get swept up in the captivating culture nonetheless.
