Jun 19, 2017This game is a decent fps zombie game, too bad that the idea is overused and they tried to copy dead island idea, they failed miserably, but at least this game is interesting and somewhat fun to play.
Buy it only if you really like zombie games.

Feb 17, 2015A game with farly week game play and even weaker controls. Was exited to play it but i was sadly disappointed. But to be fair some elements are real good like the multiplayer challenges that comes up. But the story is so bad that it ruins the game.

Jan 28, 2015Basically dead island with free running. Multiplayer is fun and its fun invading other players game as a zombie. Single player is boring after a few hours. If your a fan of dead island this is a must buy. If your not I would recommend a rental or buying Resident evil.

Jun 11, 2015The story of this game is quite interesting, the gameplay is fun, but some little things makes this game just an ok game for me...One example would be that your items break way to often...I mean comon...since when does an iron pipe break if you hit 10 zombie skulls with it

Dec 7, 2019It was an okay game. Preferred Dead Island to be honest. The combat was better.

Jan 31, 2015A 10/10 until the end. An abysmal difficulty spike towards the end ruins what could have been the perfect zombie game and soils everything that the rest of the game represented. I do not recommend paying full price for this game. Wait for it to be on sale, or prepare to feel cheated in the endgame.

Sep 12, 2015Good incipit, but the story gets boring very fast. Within the first 30 minutes of gameplay you realise that the story starts to smack of “been there, done that”.
There are a bunch of very interesting cues: the safe areas, the crafting system, and the overall idea of an open world zombie setting. Despite that the plot gets shabby pretty soon, leaving a bad taste of wasted opportunity. -
May 22, 2016Run errands, avoid zombies, and deal with the grainy graphics. If you liked dead island, you'll probably like this. Sadly, I did not. The voice acting is pretty bad, you can't turn off the "film grain" which gives the graphics a crappy look, and I can't really recommend this. It's pretty "meh".

Feb 15, 2017What could have been. Never taking advantage of it's wonderful game ideas (night mode) while also offering a story filled with cliches and plot armor. Some fun to be had but an all round disappointment.
