Canis Canem Edit (PS4)
Canis Canem Edit developed by Rockstar released back in 2006. It was remade for newer consoles under the title; Bully: Scholarship Edition, the first version I had. The original was ported to PS4 in 2016.
Welcome to Bullworth Academy. Jimmy Hopkins, a young trouble maker, is shipped off to the academy by his mother, who's on her way to her honeymoon with her most recent marriage. Jimmy has been expelled from seven other schools, and is immediately warned by the principal to keep his nose clean. As the new kid, Jimmy is targeted by most of the school, but he can hold his own if it comes to a fist fight. Jimmy is soon befriended by Gary and Petey, who himself is a bit of a target for bullies.
Gary shows Jimmy around the school, tells him about the cliques and their leaders. The cliques include the bullies, the preppies, the greasers, the jocks and the needs. Each chapter of the story tends to focus on a certain group. After each chapter, Jimmy becomes friendly with that group, so Jimmy goes from hated to respected as the story progresses. You will do all kinds of missions for clique members and fight whoever opposes you. Ultimately you're out against the leader and it's there you'll really earn their respect.
9.4/10

Zombi (Xbox One)
Zombi was developed by Straight Right and released in 2015. It was originally created for Wii U and was titled ZombiU.
A zombie game, because there aren't enough of those already. Zombi is a first person action game, except it's very boring. It's so clunky, poor graphics, unimaginative plot and a lot more.
You die and that's it, well kind of. You spend the game being guided by an unseen character, he helps you survive and tells you what you need to do and eventually escape the zombie outbreak. You can scavenge a bunch of items from guns, bullets, melee weapons and health items. Your stock is limited, but if you die, say goodbye. Each time you die, you're switched to play as another survivor. You have to find the previous survivors supplies, but if you die before you get them, they're gone forever. The guide talks to you like you're the same person though, even if you've died twenty times and controlled twenty different survivors, it's dumb.
The gameplay is incredibly clunky, I only ever had a cricket bat for a melee weapon. I did the same weapon swinging animation over and over and over to kill zombies over and over and over. It was boring. Finding guns was a bit more entertaining as it was a bit more lively than swinging a bat eight time to just kill one zombie. You don't get around much, you're constantly running back and forth through the same locations and the lighting is awful. Everything is too dark and the poor map and HUD are useless.
The scanner is terrible to use, it's used to locate scavenging areas, as well as zombies, but it just felt like a chore to use, so I usually avoided it. There were upgrades but the combat never improved, there were a decent selection of guns to use though. Your character never speaks which I understand, but your guide never shuts up, it seems so unbelievable the way their conversations happen.
There isn't much to say other than this is one of the worst games I've played. There are way too many zombie games and this does nothing to make you think you should play it over hundreds of better ones. Just avoid this mess.
4.9/10
