Sonny (2007): A Unique and Twisted Take on the Zombie Genre
Introduction
Zombies. We’ve all seen them in movies, TV shows, and video games. We’ve shot them, stabbed them, sliced and diced them. But what if you could play as a zombie? What if you could fight for your life in a crazy and twisted world?
That’s the premise of Sonny (2007), a unique and twisted take on the zombie genre. You play as Sonny, a zombie who is fighting for his life in a world that has been overrun by the undead.
Gameplay
Sonny is a first-person shooter with a focus on survival. You’ll need to scavenge for food, water, and weapons in order to stay alive. You’ll also need to fight off hordes of zombies, as well as other survivors who are just as desperate as you are.
The game features a variety of weapons, including guns, melee weapons, and explosives. You can also use the environment to your advantage, such as by using objects to block doorways or create traps.
Sonny is a challenging game, but it’s also a lot of fun. The game’s atmosphere is dark and oppressive, and the constant threat of death makes for a truly immersive experience.
Story
Sonny’s story is told through a series of flashbacks. As you play, you’ll learn more about Sonny’s life before the zombie outbreak, as well as his struggles to survive in the aftermath.
The story is well-written and engaging, and it does a great job of fleshing out Sonny’s character. You’ll come to care about Sonny and his plight, and you’ll be rooting for him to survive.
Graphics and Sound
Sonny’s graphics are good, but they’re not amazing. The game’s environments are detailed and atmospheric, but the character models are a bit stiff and the animations are a bit clunky.
The sound design is excellent. The game’s sound effects are realistic and immersive, and the music is suitably creepy and atmospheric.
Overall
Sonny is a unique and twisted take on the zombie genre. It’s a challenging and rewarding game with a well-written story and excellent sound design. If you’re a fan of zombie games, then you should definitely check out Sonny.
