Zomborg Review Cons:

Not the best loading times.
The controls especially the camera are all fiddly and clumsy.
Cannot remap controls.
The game doesn’t describe a whole lot of the mechanics.
You only get one life to do everything in a level as it has no checkpoints or respawns.
The shooting doesn’t feel good a lot of the time.
Your ally is not always great at actually doing anything useful.
Had the mini-map disappeared and with that, the game took a long time to finish objectives.
