A wonderfully horrible way to die: A Mutant Year Zero review

December 30, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Mutant: Year Zero works for me. I can’t think of a better and more communal way to warp and decay, to evolve and whiter. Death seems certain in this post-apocalyptic game but the story, the adventure along the way, will be interesting. I use the word “story” carefully too.
