    Not too bad of a game. Its basically Left 4 Dead with 4 different scenarios that have 3 parts to complete each. Runs well and looks pretty good. Does need more content, but then again Left 4 Dead charged $60 bucks for around the same amount of content or less, but this is only $40....Fun as hell with friends and is clearly meant to be played multiple times....

    Although better than the movie, unfortunately, World War Z doesn’t quite meet the standards of Left 4 Dead. There is some fun to be had with friends mowing down hordes of zombies and playing online however after playing through the rinse-and-repeat story missions, I find myself much less interested in the game with no motivation to want to play any of the levels more than once.

    This game is fun.
    No microtransactions i can find.
    Buy it on sale unless you have friends then its a no brainer. It looks good and runs well on ultra 1060 60fps. Its not deep or big or original or creative but its solid which few zombie games are. Theyve kept it small and as a result its incompetent and capable. The single player works with decent ai which is a first for me.    This game is fun.

    The single player works with decent ai which is a first for me. Your ai team will have your back though youll have to do the heavy lifting. There are no bosses which is a real missed opportunity. The progression system is very average but theres plenty to do.

    Sound and music is average.
    Gamplay is good.
    Lastability is what ever you make it but id like to see more free content within a month.

    The game can be scary and thrilling. The sequel could be great. If you love zombies its a no brainer (lol) and maybe a good fix while waiting on dayz gone.    … Expand

The levels themselves are well designed and the waves of zombies that come after you and at the speed they charge at you is utterly terrifying and adrenaline rushing. The game has 5 difficulty settings with 1 being easy and 5 being insane. I have been playing on normal difficulty and I recommend people don't play any lower than normal or the game becomes too lenient, forgiving and easy.

    One thing I will say on the other hand is that the pvp modes are a different story. They are very run of the mill and generic modes like deathmatch, king of the hill etc with a twist that is you have to fight zombie hordes while also attacking other players. This is great in theory but the execution is poor. When zombie waves come in, the PS4 frame-rate tanks and the server starts struggling to handle everything so it becomes hard to play as enemies and zombies alike start to teleport like crazy and gameplay starts feeling awfully sluggish.

    One other criticism is that the game has no actual proper survival mode so if you want to fight endless waves of zombies like Call of Duty or anything like that you are unfortunately out of luck as you will be stuck with the co-op missions. This mind you isn't inherently a bad thing as the co-op missions themselves are already incredibly challenging and a ton of fun so the lack of a survival mode isn't a deal breaker to me personally, but will instead be a bonus if added in a future update.

    The lack of a survival mode and the sub par multiplayer are the reasons why I have given this game an 8/10 but with the inclusion of a survival mode this would bump up to a 9/10 easily. I highly recommend this game for an incredibly fun and adrenaline rushing co-op experience to be played with friends but I would definitely avoid the multiplayer as it seems to be more of an afterthought than anything else and will damage your experience of what is otherwise a superb co-op experience.

    Edit: One month later and the game is not getting a massive amount of support from the devs. In one month they have added one new mission and one new zombie type. At this point if you haven't bought it already, you should consider waiting for a sale until the devs add more content (especially the survival/horde mode which has now officially been confirmed.)    … Expand

    The missions are repetitive (Go there, activate that, defend that, go to the extract point.)

    I finished the game in 4-5 hours, and i have to say that i felt kinda bored, the objectives are too repetitive and the game felt a bit to easy even though i played on Normal and sometimes on Hard. The Zombie Hordes are really easy to kill, just aim for the base or throw some grenades and    The missions are repetitive (Go there, activate that, defend that, go to the extract point.)

    I finished the game in 4-5 hours, and i have to say that i felt kinda bored, the objectives are too repetitive and the game felt a bit to easy even though i played on Normal and sometimes on Hard.

    The Zombie Hordes are really easy to kill, just aim for the base or throw some grenades and that's all.

    Some zombies are direct rip-offs from Left 4 Dead, Some Exemples:

    The Hunter from Left 4 Dead is now called The Creeper.

    The Creeper waits for the player to come to him and then he jumps on the player, just like in Left 4 Dead.

    The Charger from Left 4 Dead is now called The Bull.

    Just like in Left 4 Dead he rushes into you and grabs you.

    Weapon Customization is something you need to play with.

    You will need to choose a Class in order to get better at the game. There are exactly 6 Classes. Gunslinger, Hellraiser, Medic, Fixer, Slasher, Exterminator.

    You can make each class better, because it has Skills you can unlock with Currency you earn via playing. You can get Faster Reload, You can start with a gun, Make grenades explode on impact, just to name a few.

    The Episodes are the story the game offers you.

    You have 4 Episodes, New York, Jerusalem, Moscow and Tokyo. Each episode has 3 chapters (Tokyo has only 2 chapters). Each Episode is designed in a very unique way, for exemple in the first Chapter of New York you are in a Plaza, in the first Chapter of Tokyo you are in a city and you head for the highway. You learn everything you need to know about the game since the 1st Chapter from New York, No new stuff after that.

    Verdict:

    Cons: Gets Repetitive, Animations are sometimes bad, The Game is easy overall, AI is retarded sometimes, The Story.

    Pros: The Graphics, Sound Effects, Gun Play.

    It's Left 4 Dead with a grain of The Division.    … Expand

    First off, I played about 4 hours of the game. Anyone who scored this lower then a 5 is salty because they thought this game was going to be either "the best zombie game ever" or "its the next Left 4 Dead" If you watch any of the gameplay you would see that those thoughts are not right.

    If you thinking this is going to play like Left 4 Dead or Killing Floor 2 you are mistaken. The game plays like World War Z Movie or book. If you think the will be only 4 zombies behide the door you will pay for it with your life. The game is a without a doubt unforgiving. Almost everything is randomly spawn in, include items to help you with on "hold the stage" levels. Yes they are bugs and people need time to catch up to this learning curve.

    Pros:
    -A solid third person zombie shooting game with some good solid game-play be hide it
    - Multiplayer with some game modes that haven't been explored yet in the zombie genre shooters
    - All around fun game with a large weapon classes and the leveling system of both classes and weapons

    Cons
    - Lack of content. because it has little to should be around 25 dollar instead of the 35 dollars (PC)
    - The type of special zombies are also lacking, you will find your self facing 3 "bulls" tanks instead of 10 types of zombies that keep you on your toes

    All and all the game is pretty good. If you don't want to spend 35 dollars on the game then I would wait until it goes on sale because you probably be disappointed.    … Expand

Like if you compare the animation when you are on the character select screen, the animation look good and the characters feel like they have weight. But when you are actually playing it doesn't look or feel as good, especially when you swing your Melee weapon . Very clunky. I also which they had an adaptive difficulty like left for dead, instead of having to select a difficulty, have the game decide to throw you waves of enemies depending on how well you are doing. Hard to find players in the higher difficulty and doing something more adaptive will help with that. In the final stage of the scenario there needs to be more of a threat, like in left for dead. I want that feeling of uncertainty, that feeling of not knowing if i will make it to end, that feeling of making it to the boat, helicopter or truck with the skin of my teeth

    I like the game, just needs more love and polish to reach the heights of L4D. I'm hoping they add more chapters and characters. Even expand some of the current chapters like New York, would have loved if the new york chapter took place more on the streets of new york at night instead of mostly being in the subway    … Expand

    The game is a strange one. Sometimes it's very intense and genuinely thrilling, when watching hoards of infected comeing towards you. You can feel frantic and when the teamwork works, it's highly satisfying.

    There are other moments in the game where it feels super bland, ploddy and a little floaty. The levels are designed with arcade type play in mind, and there are plenty of ridiculously unrealistic items blocking your path. There's not much room for strategy, and it certainly doesn't feel open, but that's not always a bad thing.

    The characters reflect the gameplay. Sometimes ineteresting, sometimes not. There isn't enough information about them to really care about them, and there is no real change in gameplay or tactics depending on who you pick. The character models in game look really good though and would probably be my favorite thing about the game. Solid, detailed and well animated.

    Gunplay is a bit unsatisfying. I just went from this to Titanfall 2, and the T2 guns feel 10,000 times more real and satisfying. I would have liked more bombastic firing and sound, instead we get fast or slow peashooters in my opinion.

    This is a game that I'm sure will have it's fans, especially if the team make some fundemental changes, but unfortunately, I can see it going down the road of being a PSN game given away one month. It very much has that kind of feel to me.

    Very hard to score, but at the moment, it has to be a 6/10 with me feeling charitable. Sorry, i wanted to love it, I really did.    … Expand

Whilst the surge of the overwhelming zombie hordes are visually breathtaking, the way in which zombies respond to being shot or attacked with melee weapons is aesthetically underwhelming. The chapter based episodes that chronicle the story of the game's survivors also leaves much to be desired and playing the game in solo mode was frustrating because I would reach the end of a chapter, only to be absolutely destroyed by the final wave of relentless zombies that would decimate my AI teammates and myself. I was only able to complete two chapters and despite the game's levelling system, I didn't feel abundantly compelled to return and play these chapters over and over again to unlock the game's 'better' stuff.

    All in all, I'd recommend not playing World War Z unless you have a crew of enthusiastic Left 4 Dead fans.    … Expand

    More liker 6.5/10 than 6/10.

    The American company Saber Interactive decided to pick up the book of Max Brooks, entitled World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, and in the film World War Z, which had Brad Pitt in the leading role, and develop a game based on this universe. This World War Z is a cooperative game in the third person where we will have to face immenses zombies. And    More liker 6.5/10 than 6/10.

    The American company Saber Interactive decided to pick up the book of Max Brooks, entitled World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, and in the film World War Z, which had Brad Pitt in the leading role, and develop a game based on this universe. This World War Z is a cooperative game in the third person where we will have to face immenses zombies. And when I say immenses, it's thousands of zombies. In a way, it could be said that this title was to get some inspiration from Left 4 Dead.

    If you are asking, yes, the game is in the same universe as the movie. New York, Jerusalem, Moscow and Tokyo are the cities where we are going to go and where we have to face huge hordes of zombies, each of which has its group of four survivors. In New York we have as characters Angel Flores, Tashaun Burnell, Bunko Tatsumi and Arnetta Larkin. In Jerusalem, we have Judd Whitaker, Dina Mizrahi, Ethan Wolfe and Daniel Alahey. On the other hand, in Moscow, we have Oksana Orlovskaya, Ivan Dovchenko, Timur Yushkevich and Sergei Popov. And finally, in Tokyo, we have survivors Sho Sugiyama, Kimiko Nomura, Tatsuo Matsumoto and Hiroji Okada.

    At the start of the missions we always start with a Compact SMG and a Pistol. There are no tutorials, but quickly the player gets used to the gameplay of this World War Z, even more because it is a very linear game. The purpose of cooperative missions, offline or online, are simple and include, for example, killing zombies, going to a specific location, defending a zone or turning on a switch. And they're going to repeat this a few times. But despite its extreme repeatability, World War Z is even fun, a lot because of its good gameplay. Too bad AI is basic. There were times when they gave priority to killing zombies instead of making me relive. Let's say it's a reason for the staff to go to the online cooperative campaign. It is important to point out that our life does not regenerate. Instead, we have to heal (or heal fellows) with Medkits, which makes even more necessary attention to zombies.

    We have several different classes available, as well as a varied arsenal to catch up with. During missions, we can also find so-called heavy weapons like machine guns or grenade launchers, but they should only be used in complicated situations. Fortunately, the characters aren't restricted to classes, so we can choose what we want. Gunslinger, Hellraiser, Medic, Fixer, Slasher and Exterminator are the classes that are present in the campaign. They all have core perks different from each other and it is possible to unlock certain perks depending on our level and the money we have.

    After completing a chapter, we are rewarded with experience points for the class and weapons we use, as well as money that can be used to purchase weapons upgrades and purchase perks (whether in the Co-op Campaign or Multiplayer). In case you are fed up with the Co-op Campaign... we have Multiplayer to vary a lot. Player vs Player... and vs Zombie. Yes, that's right. Not only do we have to face the opposing team, as we have Zombies to spice things up. Sometimes these Zombies can swing the scale in our favor or not depending on the situation.

    Swarm Domination, King of the Hill, Swarm Deathmatch, Scavenge Raid, and the Vaccine Hunt are the modes available in World War Z. There are classes with the preset weapons to choose and use. For example, Support has predefined weapons like AK-47, Compact SMG and Machinegun, and has Supply Bag as its equipment. Yes, Support is for that; give support (ammunition) to our team. It's similar to the Specialist Crash form the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Remaining Multiplayer classes are Survivor, Trapper, Specialist, Warfighter, Phantom, Demolisher, Striker, Assassin and Shadow. I didn't have any connectivity problems during my game sessions but, despite its slight originality, I confess that I was more enthusiastic about the cooperative campaign than the multiplayer mode.

    Visually, this is a fair game, but there was scope to be better. It is true that it is fun to do "tourism" in the four cities of the game developed by Saber Interactive, but at certain times, gave me the feeling of playing a game of the previous generation. As for the sound department, while the gun sounds are positive and it's always fun to tease the zombies with these weapons, the soundtrack is virtually nonexistent and I completed the game without getting a song written in my brain. Overall, World War Z is not bad and at times it's even fun, but it's a far cry from the quality of a Left 4 Dead.    … Expand

    Like everyone has already mentioned, very much a "Left 4 Dead" ripoff in the 3rd person view. Extremely enjoyable when playing with a good crew, but still gets old after a good week of solid use. Awesome graphics, standard controls, no story (but this game isn't about story). Definitely a rental, unless you have a group of friends that play this game on a regular basis.

    Graphics are beautifully gory. I like it.
    Multiplayer seems to work great. I don't really like the multiplayer story though, I'd rather play the story on my own and then move onto horde mode or other modes online.    … Expand

    Game is good but tooooo short, shooting a horde of zombies is a lot of fun.

    Fun zombie shooting game. Like the realism of shooting the zombies and hordes of zombies.

    I didn’t expect much out of World War Z as a licensed title, but Saber Interactive has done a great job adapting the IP’s globe-spanning scope and massive hordes of zombies while bolstering it with inspiration from a past classic. I’m not sure that I’d recommend it for players who insist on playing alone, but for those who have at least one friend or those who don’t mind recruiting some randos, it’s a great way to kill a million zombies over a weekend.

    Reasonably priced but with only glimmers of personality. A fairly standard selection of multiplayer modes are livened up by the horde and generally a lot more fun than a lacking story campaign. [IssueE163, p.60]

    It might not too unbearable when you play with your close friends and you guys coop perfectly. But in general, this game is even much more boring than the zombie's daily life.
