Nov 30, 2013Waste of time and money.
Poor graphic, missing features from description, lots of bugs, poor animations, broken mechanics.
If you want to enjoy your evening just buy bottle of vodka and some sushi. -
Dec 24, 2013Absolutely terrible gam and unprofessional devs that give indie games a bad rap. On their stream you can watch and listen as developer Artemis knives berates customers in the most profane and vile manner.

Mar 11, 2014Please guys Dont buy this game or you will regret about!
This game is a complete ****
The devs are taotally corupted
BANS ARE RANDOMLY!
ITS FULL OF HACKERS! -
Apr 19, 2014This game is full of lies and is broken in every way possible. DO NOT BUY!
Even if you do get past the lies and brokenness then all there is to do it horde 100's of guns (which you can buy ammo for.)
As I said earlier do not buy this broken pile of lies. -
Apr 20, 2014Worst Video Game ever, it needs to be buried in Alamogordo, New Mexico with "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial"
0/10 Because this game blows chunks waste of my money and it was only $7.99 and I still felt ripped off. -

So many hackers on this game and developper dont do nothing about it.
It make one year they promise us cars and other **** and never happen at all
thanks -
Aug 6, 2014I'm still not sure what I saw in this game the first time I saw it... I keep asking myself "Why the **** did I buy this **** And I'm sure that's what you'll ask yourself when you play this monstrosity of a game. The only reason it exists is to piggyback off of DayZ's success. So for your sake don't buy this... It's complete garbage. -_-

Jan 28, 2014I have been waiting to give a review since I naively paid for this so called game when it came out. DO NOT BUY THIS DO NOT EVEN PLAY IT you will save yourself a lot of time and trouble.
The developers are **** and are simply money grabbing pricks who force purchasing of in game items to play. It is a shining example of greed and the shame of the gaming community. -

Dec 2, 2013Do not purchase this game.its very bad full of hackers,bugs and disconnect problems,bad support
Just look at the İnfestation forums to see the problems -
Apr 25, 2013AWFUL GAME. Those who rate it highly obviously have some sort of brain damage, as that is all I can conceive that could make you enjoy such a hack job ripoff of Day Z. Seriously people, even DayZ isn't THAT good. This game is AWFUL people, sure maybe you and some friends can have some fun, but not as much as say playing ANY OTHER GAME, download TF2 a FREE game with much more content and substance.

Apr 24, 2013The worst survival zombie game ever made.
Bugs and hacks everywhere. The engine is a crap, and the cash shop is ridiculous.
It look like an alpha of a game. -

Sep 26, 2013Do NOT buy this game. Don't even think about it. Do some research and you'll understand why. These guys should be in jail for all the false advertising they did. SCAM!
Now they changed the name from "War Z" to "Infestation: Survivor Stories" just to try and scam more people. Sad. -

Nov 18, 2013Takes the biscuit as the worst game I've ever bought... Massively regret buying it. Save your money and your heartache and buy something, anything else.

Nov 21, 2013I really only have these words to say about this... this monstrosity of a game...
Pure. Utter. Garbage.
Do not ever buy this game, ever, be smart with your money, get DayZ instead, its SO much better I assure you. -

Nov 28, 2013There is no reason to give more than 1 "star" to the game, this is all a crap, poorly designed, and it appear like the devs automatically ban some players just to make money, when the players buy another account. DON'T BUY THIS GAME
-
Nov 30, 2013Waste of time and money, just it. I have nothing more to say, just to full this 150 characters. This game sucks, I play since the alpha, and almost nothing changes, the developers only care about the money.
-
Nov 30, 2013Very bad ripoff of DayZ. The game was previously called "The War Z" before they changed it to avoid the bad press. In addition to being a complete ripoff, the game is very poor quality and has many bugs. The company has very bad customer support, often bans active players with no reason and no way to get your money back.

Dec 21, 2013Do not buy this game if you're thinking of buying something! If i were you i'd rather buy Day Z (since War Z, or as it is now Infestation: Survivor Stories or something, is basically a ripoff of Day Z.) Also they keep saying that there are things in-game which is really not there. I'd rather go buy Day Z, 7D2D (7 Days To Die) or Rust.

Original title of the game is The War Z Read about it and forget about this **** company and their ways of getting money...

Apr 3, 2014A ripoff and a scam. Do not purchase this product. If you feel like "Eh, the meta critic reviews aren't everything, maybe it's a troll" Just, don't listen to your inner self and don't even give them even the 5$ sale price. If you want a game that's more fast paced than DayZ with the same general feel, grab Nether. But in the end, Day Z is the game to get for this genre.
-
Apr 15, 2014I bought this game because I thought it would be really good due to it's plot, I guess I was COMPLETELY wrong. It doesn't ever work and the game is that bad that I've only played at least 2 hours of it before it started braking with error reports. Awful game, never buy it, never waste your money on this rubbish.
-
May 20, 2014I like how they tricked me into buying it again by RE-naming it and putting it on steam with a different trailer.
I should have got my money back for that stunt.
game is a total piece of crap , probs the worst game I have ever played in a good few years,
and its a total shameless rip off done in the worst way possible. -
May 28, 2014Hold W for 10 Minutes or so, find zombie, hit the Zombie in the head with a Flashlight until dead, get killed by Glitches and Bugs
Rinse and Repeat until your soul dies -
Jun 9, 2014Good game, but **** game at the same time. This game has the potential to be a good game a lot of good items in games, good map, and like the concept. However it has more negatives the positives. poor melee animations is one, running looks weird, then we have 9/10 people hacking and the game is buggy and the community is utter crap in general
-
Jul 31, 2014The "worst" game ever made. It's even worse than Superman 64 or E.T on Atari 2600. It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Do not play this game. You can't even call it a "game". It's an insult to the humanity.
-
Aug 28, 2014This Game is a waste of time Playing you run around for hours city's and towns are to far apart and other players KOS kill on Sight. Don't buy It Wait for Updates to Rust or HZ1
-
Sep 21, 2014I don't like this game.It's too expensive and this game is DayZ copy and they very very use your display card and your CPU.I don't know why it so lag.I play the other game like BF3 I didn't even lag.But when I play this game it's so lag even I change the graphic to low.It's very bad game that I have play ever.

Nov 4, 2014Worst game ever; pay to win, copy of Dayz, devs that ban players that ask for refunds or complain, and BUGS EVERYWHERE. Dayz in alpha is better than this piece of crap. I cannot believe this game is still
shown as having mixed reviews on steam, do people not know a bad game when they see it? If possible I would rate this game a -10
DO NOT BUY AT ALL!!!!!!!! -
Mar 4, 2015BAD GAME,a lot of hackers,bugged and no optimization.This is for sure the worst game ever since Big Rigs of course,must be the same **** creator(Sergey Titov).
-
Jul 23, 2015Developers do not know what to do they ruined all the game.This game is all about pay to win you can find weapons and foods in the game but you can't find some ammo for your gun all you have to do is pay and buy some ammo like real world I mean I'm playing a game I already paid you guys 15 dollar to buy this game ,greedy developers.Don't buy this game !!!
-
Nov 30, 2015It was one of first games on my low-end PC. It launched BF3, but I didn't had suitable Windows (XP). But it didn't launched even to main menu this. Now i have better PC, and what I say- you can live with it, game isn't so bad, but still, higher price than 5 Euro is too much.

Jan 31, 2020Don't buy. It's a scam.
I really do love zombie shooters and it first looked like a promising game. But there are so many things (starting with login, ui issues...) that make this entire game not enjoyable. -
Dec 23, 2012Bought it on steam and after playing for about 3 hours and reading all the horrible reviews I asked for a refund from steam tech support. This game should still be considered alpha, it is horrible, and even missing advertised features. Just a horrible clone of DayZ. Luckily I got a refund to my steam wallet.
-
Sep 23, 2013This is not a game, this is a scam designed for users to pay contantly for items. Not fun, not worth of time nor money. It was called warz a few months ago, not it changes its name to keep scamming unaware people.
-
Jul 20, 2013Worst game experience I've ever had. Game crashes, bugs everywhere and pay to revive or wait one hour to play again? Pay real money for bullets? Really? The game is clearly unfinished and they ask money for it. Do not buy it!
-
Jul 20, 2013
-
Dec 23, 2012Worthless trash. I'm not even going to list the issues, the blaringly large % of negative reviews here on Metacritic is already a solid warning that you should not buy this game. Save yourself the dreaded feeling of "oh snap, I just wasted $20" and go and buy yourself a kebab and a coke, you will be MUCH more satisified.
-
Dec 24, 2012What a bummer,they trying to release the game that haven`t finish yet.And now people who brought it got scammed.Stick with DayZ instead.WarZ is just a piece of crap that they wanna look like DayZ but even better,but nothing can do anymore with broken gameplay at all and rob money by purchase something...what a joke.War Inc game should not make a game like this!
-
Jan 31, 2013A complete piece of garbage. Some games just rip off others, and the results is often mediocre at best, but War Z beats records in terms of lazy game development. If trolling had its equivalent in the game industry, this game would be a fine example. Stay away from this sorry excuse for a quick cash grab.
-
Dec 19, 2012Unfinished game sold as a complete title. This is a scam. Also the way the developers already try to monetize an unfinished product (death timers etc..) is sickening.
-
Dec 19, 2012This game is one of 2012's biggest disappointments (if people even believed this would have been successful)
The Steam page is full of lies, no 100 man servers, no skills, micro-transactions in an already paid game, and a 'final product' that looks more like an Alpha build.
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME: That $15 can be spent on many different other games. -
Dec 19, 2012The worst and most epic disappointing game I have ever seen. I say stay away from it. Do not waste your time and your money my friends. This game is absolutely terrible.
-
Jul 19, 2013DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! The developer, Sergei Titov is a fraud and A CHEAT and THE GAME IS AS WELL. The developer himself SHOULD BE IN PRISON FOR ALL OF THE CRAP HE'S PUT OUT OVER THE YEARS. DOO NOOOOOOT BUYYYYY THIIIIIIIIS GAAAAMMMMEEEEEE!!!!!!!
-
Jan 20, 2013I bought and played this game and let me tell you. I've never been so dissapointed about a game in my life and i've NEVER been robbed of my money like this before. Save your time and money on something else.
-
Feb 19, 2013This is the worst game i ever bought. They keep making promises and not a single major update, hackers everywhere, a lot of glitches, bugs, the zombies are useless, its more like a call of duty full of crap. Sold the game for 10 bucks after 3 weeks playing.
-
Mar 21, 2013This game is a complete rip off! Hammer point interactive has LIED to all our faces, I don't under stand how people could like or defend this game or hammer point.
-
Dec 23, 2012This game is just horrendous. False advertising is the only reason it sold even a single copy. either that or because they though it was the Day Z standalone.
-
Dec 20, 20120 in score is too big for this game
I thought diablo 3 was the big disappointment in 2012, was totally fooled. This game sucks in every aspect, the game is not finished for being sold on Steam, the developers dont care about the buyers making funny about this situation, and if you say anything, you are banned from the forums
I never will buy anything again of hammerpoint -

Jul 18, 2013Do not waste your money on this game. This game use to be warz and they renamed it because
nobody was buying the game based on the fact is is garbage. -
Feb 15, 2013Never played this game, nore will i ever play it, but i wanted to be the 1000th negative review. So... yeah. I feel less special than i previously anticipated...

Dec 19, 20122012 War z = 1982 E.T. This might be worse than the 1982 game... I cant get over the blatant disrespect for their costumers, and fans.. This company deserves to go down into the depths of gaming hell...

Dec 19, 2012Walk around for an hour. Get shot. Start a new character. Walk around for an hour. Get shot. Start three more characters, walk around for an hour on each, get shot. Rinse, repeat. Or, fortunately, request a refund from Steam, which I did get.

Dec 19, 2012This is by far the largest, most obvious cash in of DayZ yet. However, the sad thing is they didn't even have the audacity to create a somewhat decent game. Its buggy, the textures are nothing short of hideous and the developers outright lied to the consumers about the game, promising things that never came. If you purchased this game, my condolences, as you have bought into a Alpha
-
Dec 19, 2012Not only is the game terrible, the devs lied about the features present in the game and then blamed the gamers for not liking it. Then publicly tried to say that 93% of players said they liked it.
-
Dec 19, 2012
-
Dec 19, 2012Game is absolute **** Full of hackers. No support from the forums/devs. Get banned from the forums for having a valid complaint. Had to contact my bank just to get a refund, because I have put in more than 15minutes into the game.

Dec 19, 2012This pathetic excuse for a game is nothing but a cash grab, and a polished turd. No, not even that, just a turd. I've been playing it since the very start and it's not any fun. It looks like arse, it runs like arse, it plays like arse. It's arse. The end.

Feb 22, 2013The War Z has about as much value as its crappy in-game melee weaponry and that’s not much at all. At least it doesn’t cost anything to play after you buy it, and the cash shop items are fair enough, so you won’t see people running around with machine guns just because they spent money. If you’re going to give your money to a zombie-survival game, grab ArmA II and a copy of the DayZ mod, or wait for the full retail version of DayZ to arrive on digital store shelves and check that out. Do not buy into The War Z.
-
Feb 5, 2013The War Z might use the same elements that make DayZ an enthralling experience. But it puts them together so halfheartedly that you have to turn away in disbelief.
