    WWZ is the best zombie co-op shooter I have played since Left 4 Dead 2 was released in 2009. Aftermath brings in loads of new content such as new maps, new weapons, an overhauled melee system and a first person mode. Would highly recommend.

    It's been a long time since I had so much fun playing a game. Recently I had so much fun playing Dead By Daylight about 2 years ago. This game rocks and I want to come back to it all the time. So far I'm only playing the campaign, with one friend + two bots. Bots can be disabled in private network mode. The campaign is great. Each act is divided into several episodes. BeautifulIt's been a long time since I had so much fun playing a game. Recently I had so much fun playing Dead By Daylight about 2 years ago. This game rocks and I want to come back to it all the time. So far I'm only playing the campaign, with one friend + two bots. Bots can be disabled in private network mode. The campaign is great. Each act is divided into several episodes. Beautiful landscapes and polished maps. Incredibly huge hordes of zombies to kill. Even bigger than those in Days Gone. And this climate. And what's really cool is the lot of randomness in the game. Sometimes you have to approach the episode several times because it is difficult (we play on level 3 of difficulty 5 - at the beginning I recommend playing on level 1, even if you have already played some FPS), but thanks to the randomness, each episode can surprise you every time. Highly recommend! Fantastic game. P.S. By default, private network mode uses an external server. I recommend enabling the local server option (less ping in my case).… Expand

    Hello! It's a cool relaxing game if you want to have fun with your friends on a rainy day, in a zombie apocalypse, to explore the big cities of the world full of zombies, a nostalgic pleasure with the thought of the legendary game left 4 dead .

    Trash made for ESports it’s the same game as before with few maps added. Nothing to do with the Max Brooks book same repetitive combat almost no plot or any character development disappointing repetitive cash-grab for multiplayer

    I like the game enough to recommend it : It's good and the shooting is enjoyable : COULD have been an 8 !

    BUT I - L O A T H - the creative direction of it! The story and characters are dull, and the story text book! I dont rate the music- I turn it off. So I would knock it down to a 7. The rpg aspect is enjoyable - I felt reasonably balanced(i think)though -    I like the game enough to recommend it : It's good and the shooting is enjoyable : COULD have been an 8 !

    So I would knock it down to a 7.

    The rpg aspect is enjoyable - I felt reasonably balanced(i think)though - and that goes with the weapons and shooting.

    Maps are decent too!

    There are also dynamics to fights where turrets and other defenses can be placed , as well as drops that boost your xp points, amongst other things...

    I have also had problems with servers, had some players ruin sessions.

    Game-engine optimisation issues have also dropped my frame rate at times.    … Expand

    El juego es bueno, cumple decentemente con su objetivo que es pasar el rato, no esperes que este sea el gran juego de zombies, que no lo es, es como una expansion del WWZ, creo que en base es algo mejor que B4B, a nivel de mecanica y progresion en el juego, pero creo que no llegara a ser un juego perfecto de zombies o un juego tan memorable como lo fue L4D 1 o 2 en su momento, como dijeEl juego es bueno, cumple decentemente con su objetivo que es pasar el rato, no esperes que este sea el gran juego de zombies, que no lo es, es como una expansion del WWZ, creo que en base es algo mejor que B4B, a nivel de mecanica y progresion en el juego, pero creo que no llegara a ser un juego perfecto de zombies o un juego tan memorable como lo fue L4D 1 o 2 en su momento, como dije antes, para jugarlo con amigos en coop unas cuantas partidas esta perfecto pero termina siendo algo repetitivo y en algunas partes diria que o es un problema de traduccion o el señalamiento de objetivos es muy ambiguo, por ejm cuando dice protege tal cosa, Ok, estas ahi protegiendo y de pronto te sale el cuadro que fallaste , y no te enteraste de donde o que paso, como dije son detalles que arruinan la experiencia pero no matan la jugabilidad, dudo que lo arreglen, asi que sera algo con lo que se conviva.… Expand

    Прошла уже пара лет и поддержка геймпада всё ещё работает через одно место. И если игра у вас в стиме, то через небольшие танцы с бубном проблему ещё кое как решить можно. Но если она у вас в ЕГС, то всё это конечная.

    I am up on this game, it fixes many of the short falls of the original WWZ game of the franchise, and does a good job of claiming that L4D vibe without being L4D in detail. I find it a much better spiritual sequel to L4D and Black 4 Blood which lost the emersion experience with all that card drawing mumbo jumbo.

    Ist echt super, ich bin wirklich überrascht, dass ein Spiel zu Release sehr performant und komplett flüssig läuft.
    Die Waffen sind super, die Level sind toll, die Grafik ist gut und es ist nichts unnötiges vorhanden oder überladen.
    Also einfach mal DANKE!

    There is a good amount of content here and the gameplay is fun. My only real complaints are that the game can be a pain to play solo, the class perks don’t always make a lot of sense, and the points grind won’t be a fun time for people who don’t want to move the difficulty mode up as their characters level up.

    World War Z’s story was, and remains, a background element whose task is to move the player from episode to episode. Aftermath’s two new episodes are set in interesting environments, and the game’s additions and fixes will be welcome to those returning to World War Z as well as to those just starting out. The first person mechanic has potential but remains incomplete, and the new Vanguard likewise might appeal to those wanting to level a new class. Like the base game, Aftermath sans human players might not be a hard pass, but it isn’t the experience the developers intended. With some friends, or at least competent random homo sapiens, World War Z Aftermath provides a unique take on a familiar enemy and does a great job of translating the terror-inducing swarm of zombies mechanic from film to videogame.

    With its deep progression system, vast array of locations and classes, World War Z Aftermath is an excellent play for anyone looking to shoot up some zombies with their friends.
