    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 !

    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

    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.
