    Okay so... I understand you guys who are like"oh i don't understand why people don't like it just because it's not like L4D" but you simply don't get that it is yet another game that tries to be L4D...

    Region locked, no servers for certain regions with no mention of it prior to purchase, so for some (including me) unless you enjoy 300 ping this is a pass.

    Overall the game has great stability and for the amount of zombies it's nice to see how well it runs.

    The game feels pretty lackluster with features although this could be due to the fact I'm reduced to playing single player only.

    May re-review it if they decide to add support for more regions but I personally think it's a little ridiculous that the game was released in regions that they have no servers for, fair enough if it was a free to play but charging people the same price for a quarter of the experience is more than a minor annoyance.

    With that said, the devs have been extremely lazy with feedback, while I can understand and appreciate fixing major bugs (such as game crashes on startup and well basically anything stopping the current playerbase from playing the game at all) the fact that it has been 3 days since they said they're looking into the whole region thing and have given no response as to whether its going to be happening or not is extremely frustrating.

    Myself and my friends are all waiting to get a simple yes they're coming or no there's not a large enough playerbase to extend servers so we can decide whether or not we want to refund the game.

    They themselves have even mentioned they're well aware of the requests for the OCE servers and that it has been highly requested and yet it's not enough to get a straight forward answer.

    The game has great potential if they add in some more maps and longer campaign levels, they're extremely short at the moment and are quite repetitive.

    >Open this > Collect this all the while killing zombies, now I'm not expecting an insane backstory, but some effort goes a long way when making different levels unique.

    The weapons upgrades are extremely linear, while I know this isn't uncommon they basically have no reason for them and should just be implemented with general leveling.

    Customization is questionable, no fov slider, sensitivity options aren't great and

    There's a common issue at the moment with audio not being in sync or cutting in and out.

    Voice lines are pretty limited and you'll often hear the same line said 5-6 times throughout the same campaign level, if not more.

    While I understand there's a limit to these sorts of things it just feels like an early access title with no real substance.

    I'm sure in future it'll have improvements but for now it really feels like a beta.    … Expand

    Left 4 Dead 2! With the title of a famous book/film.
    It is fun if you like simple co-op zombie-killing games.
    But it is such a huge copy/paste of L4D that it's not worth the full price imho.
    I refunded this one of wait until its on discount for like 10€!

I give it a 4 because it is fun to a degree, but gets boring quickly, and the amount of options is limited. Match lobby times are long, and the random people you are matched with vary greatly in their individual level. You will be matched with people who are far more advanced, or have access to options you don't have yet. This puts you at a distinct disadvantage in game leading to frustration.

    You can be 10-20 feet away from a zombie by sprinting, turn to see that it was 1 zombie sliding at the speed of sprinting while actually stumbling along. Sometimes they'll even be sideways looking like they're on a skateboard. Somehow still striking you.

    That 1 Zombie? Can down you. A bug can take you out of the game entirely. This will not be fixed. Why you ask? It's one of the ways it feigns difficulty. The game is difficult at higher levels, don't get me wrong. What I'm talking about are those little things that they do intentionally to make the game seem harder than it should be.

    This IS a serious issue, because of 1 reason. The hordes are enough. Maybe not on the lower levels when you're experienced. On Insane , and Extreme though? It's just a bug that ruins the game entirely. Can and will down you in 2-3 hits while being a cars distance or more away?

    Sometimes it tries TO hard and just spawns a creeper directly on top of you, ready to attack. Not near you. Not even enough time for it to make its noises. You check all your corners, get where you're going, turn around to head back, and it's sitting right outside the door you just came through a second earlier. Why? To make it seem harder, and to punish you for going for that med kit.

    Glitched and grinding game and a waste of your time. The reward of completing on higher difficulties does not scale enough and the game play is too simple and repetitive. They have tried to extend the duration of the game by making it harder and make it a grinding game. In 2019 this is simply cheap game development.

    However, I have one massive problem with this game:

    Why in the world is there no option to create private lobbies?! Isn't that the most common feature a coop-based shooter should have from the very beginning? I mean, sure, Sabertooth said that they're gonna add the option to create a private lobby but that shouldn't be something you have to add!!
    Trying to start a game with less than 3 other friends is a chore because you will mostly get matched with someone who's already in a mission and you are either forced to join into that mission or you have to leave and try it with another campain.
    It is so frustrating that it often makes me ragequit before I even got to play the game.

    It's so frustrating that this is my only reason I give this game only a 6/10 because private lobbies or at least the option to turn off "Join already ongoing missions" or something.    … Expand

They could have been better if they'd used a single group of characters in a single long story instead of several half told/developed stories. The gameplay is barely OK. You may get lost in what to do sometimes especially before fighting the horde ("get prep to fight the horde" and the silence until it's too late. They at least put on a timer). The AI is the worst I've ever seen. They simply ignore you when you're down. Way worse than l4d in this aspect. At least I wasn't hyped for this game.… Expand

    La recensione si baserà infatti principalmente sulla differenza tra questo titolo e il diretto rivale.

    World War Z, esattamente come il gioco della Valve, è sviluppato a capitoli e livelli, anche se in questo caso sono di numero decisamente inferiore. Le location sono tutte molto precise, anche se alcuni elementi sono ripetuti un po' troppo spesso e si finisce per impararne le caratteristiche (ad esempio se un furgone contiene oggetti, se può essere aperto o se è semplicemente scenico).

    Gli zombie sono identici a Left 4 Dead, ovvero oltre ai nemici base ne sono presenti alcuni "speciali" e più difficili da sconfiggere. Anche questi zombie speciali sono gli stessi. Gli unici assenti rispetto a L4D sono il Tank e la Witch, ma si possono ritenere sostituiti dalle orde di zombie, che sono esageratamente grandi e a tratti anche buffe (gli zombie arrivano come un fiume in piena lanciandosi dai palazzi).
    Proprio per contrastare queste orde sono presenti nel gioco delle armi fisse, come mitragliatrici e mortai, che sono un'aggiunta interessante ma che personalmente non mi convince appieno.

    Le differenze principali da Left 4 Dead, e che personalmente mi piacciono molto, sono la visuale in terza persona (di cui sono un grande fan) e il sistema a classi. Quest'ultimo è ben sviluppato in quanto ogni classe (che prescinde dal personaggio selezionato) ha caratteristiche precise che si sviluppano ancora di più utilizzandolo e quindi facendolo salire di livello. Allo stesso modo salgono di livello anche le armi e questo permette di acquistarne modifiche.

    Per concludere posso dire che non è un gioco originale e se sotto certi aspetti è meglio rispetto a Left 4 Dead è solo perchè è uscito diversi anni dopo e parte da una base consolidata che non ha necessitato di molto studio. Ottenuto gratis sull'Epic Store però merita di essere giocato con gli amici, che magari non sono in possesso del titolo Valve.

    Another way to give the game replayability is by adding challenges and horde mode. Not encountered a challenge that I was remotely close to being able to complete, but Horder mode is the real star anyway. Waves of increasingly taxing zombies, equipment that wears out, and a shop where you can replace it. Except this is where the whole thing falls apart. A key (and bloody irritating mechanic in the game) is a rapid countdown timer. You can't do anything instantly - reload, change weapons, or pick up new ones. They all have a 1 or 2 second timer to prevent you being able to just do what you want to do in the midst of an attack. Bad enough when it comes to picking up a new weapon, but when the same timer is used on the ingame horde mode shop, it becomes infuriating - not for the time delay, but because the "Open shop" button is also the purchase item button. So you're waiting for the poxy timer to go down and trying to judge so that you don't.... accidentally... buy.... NO DAMN IT, I bought another bloody electric kit.
    Whoever came up with and signed off on this mechanic should be fired IMMEDIATELY. It totally ruins what is otherwise an EXCELLENT mode in a pretty decent game.
    At NO POINT do I want to have to battle a game's interface, and even less so when I have limited time, limited resources, and a single wrong purchase can cost me hours of effort.
    I'd give the game 3 points more if that single mechanic was fixed..    … Expand

    The real successor to the Left for Dead series, World War Z hits the fun notes, massive hordes of Zombies and a lot of mindless pew pew. The game attempts to inject the same teamwork like L4D, and it does so credibly. Though like any game, the hardcore gamers can solo the game. A great game and a fun romp.

    The crosshair isn't centered in the middle of the screen and hasn't been since release, (get a ruler) any real true gamer would see this... And it's bothersome, the developers refused to fix the offset. 2/10, I gave it a 2 because the gameplay is great, the game is otherwise garbage and terrible with the aiming

But shooting zombies is fun and there is a small but nice bonus in the form of a kind of upgrades of characters and weapons. It is a pity that the developers did not tried to make something really interesting but only took some old concepts from the old L4D. It seems to me that it was necessary either to make the gameplay itself more diverse in the form of cooler locations and variations of movement in them... or to write a normal plot, since the passage is a "banal straight gut".… Expand

Well what I see some people wrote down in 2020 that is no one is playing anymore and they claim hard to find players in lobby. That's why STEAM is rulez!

    "dev diz que exclusividade da Epic é o melhor para os jogadores"

    Não, não é o melhor para os jogadores, mas apenas para os desenvolvedores. World War Z além de não ter a qualidade mínima esperada, é um jogo que virou exclusivo da Epic Games Store, loja que não tem avaliações de usuários, não tem conquistas e não tem suporte a controle, tendo que optar por outras opções como colocar na biblioteca steam que há o mínimo de recurso para os jogadores.

    É um jogo similar a Left 4 Dead, mas não traz nem metade da diversão que o game da valve leva aos jogadores com mods, customizações e outros recursos dentro da oficina Steam. Será que depois de fracassar, o dev ainda acha que foi a melhor opção para os jogadores? deixando o jogo de graça para ver se ressucitava o jogo? Faria uma análise dessa na Epic, ou na Steam se tivesse, mas como não há, sobra o Metacritic (que adora passar pano para jogos da Sony apagando avaliações negativas de seus jogos) para fazer essa avaliação sobre o game.

    "dev says Epic exclusivity is best for players"

    No, it is not the best for players, but only for developers. World War Z, in addition to not having the minimum expected quality, is a game that became exclusive to the Epic Games Store, a store that does not have user reviews, has no achievements and does not have control support, having to choose other options such as placing on steam library that there is minimal resource for players.

    It's a game similar to Left 4 Dead, but it doesn't bring half the fun that the valve game brings players with mods, customizations and other features within the Steam workshop. Could it be that after failing, the dev still thinks it was the best option for players? leaving the game for free to see if the game resurrected? I would do an analysis like this on Epic, or on Steam if there was, but as there is not, there is Metacritic (who loves to wipe Sony games by erasing negative reviews of their games) to make this evaluation about the game.

    IT IS JUST F*CKING amazing! But to be clear, don't expect that it is a 100% beautiful game, no, it is basic, uses a lot of old things, but they found a formula of combination of class development, stealth, usual shooter and a super tower defense things with a gun in your hands. It just works, you just sit again and again and play it with other random people or internet.
    If you start feeling boring, just raise the difficulty :)

Mowing down hundreds of thousands of the undead turns out to be really fun. Weapons lack polish and are pretty generic but they are quite few of them so you can switch between them and not get bored very fast. However I feel a need to mention that heavy weapons which are special weapons that can be found on the map and don't regain ammo like normal weapons do and also are incredibly effective against the horde are actually pretty nice to use. The progression system is good too. It doesn't bring anything to the table but it doesn't force you into grinding either. It's just pretty basic. The classes are a good shot at adding replayability to the game. Unfortunately to me playing the same 5 different maps feels a little tedious. It's a shame that they didn't add diffrent variants of chapters or made different scripted events like PD2 or L4D had. This would've helped massively. But the class system is a pretty good alternative which is also adding another layer of progression into the game. Characters have different backgrounds and most of them are plausible. There are a few rotten apples tho. But only in terms of backstory because I personally think all the voice actors did a great job. At last map design. The map design is very good. The team behind levels knew what they were doing and it really shows. Each map has different sections which never feel the same. Every holdout section is different and masterfully crafted. The settings are for the most part pretty unique and like holdout scenarios diffrent from each other. It's a blast to play it for first time and a ton of even after you've already experienced what you were supposed to.… Expand

    the sounds, feel, look, etc. of the weapons are solid and good.
    the zombies are well done, really cool technic to how to make masses of enemies. gj.

    teamplay is the same, a little worse, than all other of these games, mostly due to how inventory works (which i always disliked in these)

    where the game completely fails and why i give it a 1 / 10, is that the devs have used an excessive amount of coding time ensuring that the AI bots will do EVERYTHING! to fck you over and help the zombies.
    so base code is
    "follow you shoot zombies the player can see;" ok its **** ai but it is better than nothing.
    "then ignore zombies in players back 90% of the time" ehh what? so i constantly get hit in the back even if i got 3 bots standing RIGHT behind me shooting in my direction?? you use TIME and Energy on coding in that the ai need to be **** and not help the player?
    "then never kill specials that attack player from behind ONLY react to them after 3-4 seconds" this is so absurd, so you can have special wonder through the npc's as if nothing happens jump your back 3 ai looking straight at it just WAITING for you to take dmg before reacting".
    "then the worst; WHENEVER! a player is aiming from a secure position stand in front of the player with your head in the sight, IF player move sideways recheck position and stand in front of the sight with your head; stand in front around 5 meters so players can't shoot the zombies, all bullets are soaked up by bot and zombies run around bot directly at the player after the AI has blocked all bullet for them...
    THIS! happens CONSTANTLY!!! and THIS is why it gets a low score!! playing any harder difficulty with just 2+bots become basically impossible as the bots ACTIVELY!!! tries to help the zombies kill you".
    why would you use so much extra code on trying to just fck up the player?

    why would you not use it on making AI actually use packages put on ground, actually carry stuff there is found, actually being AI bots that did anything usefull, instead you coded them SPECIFICALLY! to fck up the player... which is completely unaccceptable and honestly it removes all positive from your game...

    seriously you can't even disable the bots so you can just play it with 2 people....
    so you are forced to deal with their constant betrayel and consistantly attempt of getting you killed...
    ....

    its just so utter **** i am baffled anyone that isnt a drooling braindead moron! would ever code such **** knowingly...
    if it is some fcked up attempt at making people be forced to play with others its really fcking moronic and we are not dealing with that **** morons from just trying to kill others to people who should never be on such difficulty, to all kind of harassers etc.. seriously not worth the fcking agro and also i dont want to play with random people i want to have fun with a friend or two when it fits US!

    All in all, World War Z is a pretty fun experience. It’s one that definitely surprised me, as the developers in my opinion didn’t put their best foot forward with the trailers. It still may not appeal to people who weren’t fans of the movie, but if you’re a fan of zombie games, especially co-op experiences like Left 4 Dead, it’s a solid experience at a relatively cheap price for the amount of gameplay and replay value you’re getting. Just make sure you’re playing with friends, as playing with randoms is often as bad as playing with the single player AI.
