The new live-action interactive movie 'SUBZERO' (冰点之下, SUBZERO) has been recording 'Overwhelmingly Positive' user reviews since its official launch on Steam on the 29th. However, questions about the reliability of its game reviews have arisen, sparking controversy over the evaluation.
Subzero is a post-apocalyptic survival adventure set in 'Marina Bay', a tropical city frozen by a sudden extreme weather event. The protagonist, 'Wu Yi', a former warehouse manager, must lead three women with their own stories: 'Minji', an archery major, 'Younghee' from a biotech company, and 'Seojeong', who runs a food truck. The game features a frozen setting, zombie appearances, and survival elements, incorporating a dice system for player choices. These choices influence not only affinity but also the dice results.
As of the 2nd, Subzero boasts an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' user rating (1,967 participants, 95% positive). In the interactive genre, which is often dominated by romance simulations, the fresh subject matter and direction have been praised. Furthermore, the setting, perspective, and colour palette have been lauded for enhancing immersion, alongside positive feedback on the actors' looks and performances.
Conversely, many point out that the dice system, which relies more on luck than player choice, actually detracts from immersion. Critics also cite a slow introduction of zombies compared to other apocalypse genre games, a frustratingly paced narrative during crisis situations, and poor story part distribution, questioning the game's overall quality relative to its high praise. Doubts are also being raised about whether its current evaluation is justified, with criticisms including progression-halting bugs and an anticlimactic ending. Notably, close to half of the positive reviews mention purchasing the game solely to see the actress playing Minji, and the identical playtimes recorded across many reviews lend credence to these suspicions.




The development team has stated they are aware of various issues, including progression blockers, achievement problems, black screens on the main menu, and saving errors, and plan to release updates soon.
Meanwhile, Dead by Daylight, preparing for its 10th-anniversary event, secured the 8th spot in Steam's Global Top Sellers. Other established top-tier games maintained their rankings. The list is based on US IP access to avoid regional restrictions.

In the Daily Concurrent Players TOP 20, Path of Exile 2 is maintaining its early momentum with over 350,000 players, even after its free trial ended. Taskbar Heroe climbed to 9th place with 164,507 concurrent players, an increase from the previous day. However, user sentiment remains negative due to ongoing criticism of the marketplace, even after recent patches.
