    Very good game. Basically Left4Dead3. The hordes of zombies are really impressive.

    Bit of a surprise this one as I expected it to be disappointing but so far have really enjoyed it. Well worth a blast with some mates and some beers.

    The horde dynamics are pretty cool and it's always exciting when you start getting surrounded or swarmed, well worth it for the price

    The gameplay is really fun but the shooting could be better and more responsive but it might be hard to make all the NPC react well when they need to put hundreds on screen at once. You can blow the heads of the zombies though.

    The graphics are good but there is a big lack of color and the effects are not impressive.

    For what this game is though it's the best the devs could have done, if anything you can look at it like the MP version of Days Gone but it also works great as a singleplayer game so 10/10.    … Expand

    Take the gameplay and structure of Left 4 Dead (switched to third person), throw in the class progression of Killing Floor 2, slap on the World War Z license and have a blast! You took too long Valve, somebody made Left 4 Dead 3 for ya!

    Apparently for some, if you like this game, you're being paid for it. This is ridiculous. I bought the game and I really liked it. Remember L4D, but with a more interesting character progression, because now we have levels skills, we have classes to choose from, we have weapon upgrades. The game is fun and worth the money for those who miss a L4D style game.

    Fun and nice quality with an appropriate price. shame some people rush the co-op and I had some lagg. But the lag and bugs are pretty rare.
    beautiful and unique zombie game and the multiplayer pvp is tons of fun as well, I love the way zombies are thrown into it as well.

    There have been many games trying to revive the Left for Dead franchise and I think this is the closest someone has come.

The "special" zombies are reskinned L4D special, but that formula worked there and did so here as well. The biggest con is sometimes teammates run off, or the teamwork is not existent. Additionally, some audio hiccups are present especially with explosives. Thankfully you can hone your skills in a singleplayer mod with bots. I believe Mad Dog Games knew what they were working with here and are cashing in off a title, but despite that, they were smart to give it a $39.99 price point and make it a fun shooter experience.

    I highly recommend it to all fans of L4D or shooting down zombies in general.    … Expand

    That one critic review (as for now) amuses me, How did he manage to form an objective opinion about the game the same day it was released? Did he run by himself with just bots on easiest difficulty for half an hour? That's obviously not the way the game is supposed to be played. Any game, for that matter.

I would say a solid 8 is much more accurate. I will say it is much more fun online and Sony PSN was down yesterday so I haven't played as much as I would like.… Expand

    This game is pretty good. It's looks like L4D but better. PvE levels are awesome, PvP, as for me, badly balanced. I hope that this game will have few patches and DLCs with new content and better PvP modes.

    Left 4 Dead 3... this is the game I've been waiting 10 years for. At first I was a little sceptical about the class system but it adds a layer of depth. No doubt best played with 3 friends, but still good with 1 or 2, most randoms take it serious like L4D not many toxic players and the difficulty is a great challenge.

    The game is good. It’s not left4dead exactly if that’s what you are looking for, so be wary of that.

    What it’s not good is that they released it unfinished. There are obvious signs of that ( the absence of private lobbies is the clearest example, in a game like this that’s a must). I hope they have a good plan to compensate players for that because this game is heavily dependent on player population on servers. But i digress, in summary.
    Pros:
    • good, fun gameplay. Satisfying gun mechanics.
    • varied missions. Really fun with hordes
    • Good progression mechanics. Elongates the game
    • class system works surprisingly good in such a game
    • cheaper price can make us forgive a bit some of the cons

    Cons:
    • unfinished game, many bugs and crashes. Hope they fix it fast
    • Short, needs more content like missions and more special zombies or different kind of hordes maybe? There are a lot of lost opportunities with bosses and situations they can put you in.
    • Feels overall like it needs more polishing, like a beta of sorts.

    TL;DR: good game, not exactly left4dead but better in some aspects (progression, more suited for modern game standards). It’s a 40$ game so don’t expect perfection. Definitely needs more content and it was launched incomplete but they know it and are working on it. If you’re gonna play it with friends it’s a no brainer    … Expand

    Сумасшедшая беготня, стрельба и воспоминания о L4D - это из плюсов. Минусы - мало контента, маловато разновидностей фауны зомби, локации прямолинейные. Твердая семерка.

    Awesome game. Fulfills my L4D desires perfectly. PvP is fun once you get bored of killing zombies (which you wont) and a developer on twitter already confirmed they're working on a horde mode, Tokyo map, and more modes/maps to come in the future. Definitely worth the $40.

    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.
