Can you elaborate on why Generation Zero? I remember seeing a trailer for it randomly before it released and thought it looked great. Haven’t heard a peep about it from anyone though, so assumed it ended up being boring.

The game is not actively being developed anymore, sadly. I’m not going to say it was the greatest game ever but it’s one of those games where the environment is just great to spend time in. It’s not overly story heavy. The gun play is spot on. The physics are good where it counts and goofy where it doesn’t. The sound design is stellar atmospherically. It’s awesome with friends and good enough solo. This is coming from someone who bought all the DLCs and has never done that for any game before. I’d recommend the story DLCs at least for anybody. This game is just begging for mods. The environment is that good. If you haven’t tried it but can catch it on a sale it’s totally worth it.

I’m a sucker for a good, immersive environment. I know it’s primarily meant for playing multiplayer, do people still play it?

I wouldn’t say it was designed for multiplayer, just that you can play with other players cooperatively. The game is still solo playable. Yeah, plenty of people still play online AFAIK. I have never played online with anyone other than my friends so I can’t speak for whether matchmaking works or not, but I see posts from online communities looking for players to play with, so its multiplayer scene is still active.
It’s a pretty fun game, I am disappointed that development stopped but we all kinda saw it coming. The game is made in a game engine designed for hunting games, so while the vegetation graphics are very good and the robots behaviour is interesting, it is obviously hard to work with when making a game the engine wasn’t designed for. Plus, it was receiving live active development and free updates and minor paid DLCs for like, 5 years? So it was pretty well taken care of, all things considered.
