The story is fine, but clever narratives can only take a game so far. Nothing about this game feels like it belongs in 2021, whether it's the repetitive gameplay or the dated graphics. Like Stubbs' character in this specific story, this game should be approached as a curiosity and nothing more.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.shacknews.com\u002Farticle\u002F123279\u002Fstubbs-the-zombie-in-rebel-without-a-pulse-review-brainless","2021-03-15","5\u002F10",50,{"id":53,"author":54,"outlet":57,"summary":62,"review_url":63,"review_date":49,"original_score":50,"normalized_score":51},62007,{"id":55,"name":56},3920,"Richard Seagrave",{"id":58,"logo":59,"name":60,"website_url":61,"score_format":46},27,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameSpew-Logo.jpg","GameSpew","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com","Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse isn’t a terrible game by any stretch of the imagination, but once the novelty of playing as a zombie has worn off, it’s rarely fun. It’s dated in just about every way imaginable, and while those who fondly remember it from many years ago might get a kick out of taking control of Stubbs once again, newcomers are probably just going to left wondering why his corpse has been reanimated once more. With some fresh ideas I’d like to encounter Stubbs again one day, but his original outing now just carries the stench of decay.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com\u002F2021\u002F03\u002Fstubbs-the-zombie-in-rebel-without-a-pulse-review\u002F",{"id":65,"author":66,"outlet":69,"summary":74,"review_url":75,"review_date":49,"original_score":76,"normalized_score":77},86587,{"id":67,"name":68},6913,"Timothy Blake Donohoo",{"id":70,"logo":71,"name":72,"website_url":73,"score_format":46},9,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FCBR-logo.jpg","CBR","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.cbr.com","On this same note, the game can also be fairly easy, as Stubb's health regenerates from doing basic attacks. His accompanying zombie horde also helps him out, making enemies drop like flies and join their ranks in seconds. This can be curtailed a bit on the higher difficulties, but normal gameplay is a relative cakewalk. Beyond these problems, however, Stubbs the Zombie is a fun-filled reversal of survival horror games, combining addictive gameplay with hilarious twists on tropes and cliches....","https:\u002F\u002Fcbr.com\u002Freview-stubbs-the-zombie-rebel-pulse\u002F","0",0,{"id":79,"author":80,"outlet":83,"summary":88,"review_url":89,"review_date":49,"original_score":76,"normalized_score":77},2239762,{"id":81,"name":82},17877,"Nataley Litt",{"id":84,"logo":85,"name":86,"website_url":87,"score_format":46},159,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fgametyrant.webp","GameTyrant ","https:\u002F\u002Fgametyrant.com\u002F","We had a chance to play the classic,   Stubbs The Zombie in Rebel Without a Cause,   and here are our thoughts about it!","https:\u002F\u002Fgametyrant.com\u002Fnews\u002Fstubbs-the-zombie-in-rebel-without-a-pulse-review-a-cold-blooded-killer-of-a-game",{"id":91,"author":92,"outlet":95,"summary":101,"review_url":102,"review_date":103,"original_score":104,"normalized_score":105},151610,{"id":93,"name":94},12929,"Tom Ravencroft",{"id":96,"logo":97,"name":98,"website_url":99,"score_format":100},153,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fmonstervine-logo.png","MonsterVine","https:\u002F\u002Fmonstervine.com\u002F","5","Because the truth is, Stubbs is a janky old Xbox The First game running on the Halo engine, meaning the first Halo, no numbers or titles after a colon.
