    Well the UI is total PC to console port trash. Played it local co-op and only one player at a time is allowed to use a base or inventory screen which is slow going. Worse the drag and drop mouse movement in the inventory does not work well on a controller. Selecting anything in menu is slow and clunky due to mouse style movement. So yeah another level of slow going on top another level ofWell the UI is total PC to console port trash.

    The fixed camera really sucks and the camera effect inside buildings or when behind other objects really sucks. It comes off as looking amateurish and dated. Graphically the games seems no better looking than it older predecessor. Crafting and inventory management has changed for the better. Base building is a nice touch, but trying to place things can be super fiddly more often than not. Story zombie apocalypse nonsense with silly dumb type characters. So nothing to give a crap in the narrative or character development department.

    Game feels and plays like the first one combat wise so yeah fun to be had like in the first game. However I do prefer the first game. Yeah enough to replay it three times all in single player. This sequel I am struggling to finish even one run. Yeah even allowing for the more fun with friends factor. Compared to the first game this one lacks the same polish and feels rough around the edges.    … Expand

    We liked the first one so we tried it. It is terrible. We quit after it turned out that the game have you to grind every quest 2 or 3 times in order to reach the level req. of the next one. And those quests are in of itselfs just the worst kind of boring "kill this **** a cauple of times". This game is just a lazy re-working ( mostly downgrading ) of the first version.

    Осталось неприятное впечатление от игры, что я её даже не смог пройти до конца.
    Местами она была интересна, но в ней полностью отсутствует сюжет. Даже мультиплеер в ней не смог разбавить объем скучности, который в ней есть    Осталось неприятное впечатление от игры, что я её даже не смог пройти до конца.

    A low-budget game with mediocre visuals and audio, laughable story and very basic gameplay which somehow turns out to be addictive as hell. [05/2017, p.42]

    It tries to ride the coattails of the previous title, but stands wobbly on its own two feet.
