    Fantastic game. If you like L4D you’ll love this. Huge hordes and it’s a lot of fun especially when you’re playing with friends.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    There's a lot of fun to be had with the World War Z game when played co-operatively, but the multiplayer PVP is stagnant due to lack of players, limited maps and in general not being well thought out.

Clearly with so few people playing the Multiplayer PVP modes outside of the main event which is Swarm Domination I couldn't recommend it for that alone. However, Co-Op Campaign is the real attraction and I've been thoroughly enjoying it. It is a crossover between Uncharted and Left 4 Dead. They've really nailed this game mode on the head with the 7 classes each providing a unique way in which to play through the game. If you're not impressed with the look of the L4D clone, Back 4 Blood, then I would strongly advise you to look into World War Z: The Aftermath which is coming soon and features a First-person perspective, though I'm on the side of Third-person all the way. Note: • Developers were lazy with the French DLC not including Outfit selections, Character background story videos, etc for the 4 new characters. However, the new maps are an interesting addition which pay more credits (I'm against paid advantages, but these do no harm to the game).… Expand

    Terrible game cant go past wave 30 without crash, only 4 scenario mission plus 1 you have to pay 20 bucks for, poor content, fun with friend but get boring quick, PVP is garbage, the soundtrack is terrible if you can get it for free get it but dont pay for it and this is sad that Saber will make evil dead a huge insult

    This game NEEEDS local coop for the love of god!
    I would play this game with my GF sooooo much but there's no way we're getting another console and/or copy of the game to play coop.
    I wonder why they didn't care to include split screen as it wouldn't have been much of an issue and such a good selling point! The game itself, single player or online is a bit under-achieving. It's    This game NEEEDS local coop for the love of god!

    I don't like 3rd person fps at all. The shooting is really awkward, it's easy to not have any idea what you're shooting at and weapons feel really inaccurate.

    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

    I can't think of a better game made from movie franchises. Maybe there is some kind of Harry Potter ...

Terrible disappointment. I expected a better scenario, by fact, there is virtually no story at all in this game. It only consists of going from point A to point B while killing zombies. When I was playing the first episode (New York), I was surprised to see it ended without an ending (I thought there would be more to follow), and actually it's the same for the four cities. As a parenthesis, I'd like to add that despite the fact that an emphasis is put on playing in four different cities, you barely see anything of those cities. It's mainly about warehouses, libraries, and so on. Second dark point, the sound quality. The voices are coming straight from a 100€ phone. Same for the gunshot sounds, terrible. Technically, it looks extremely cheap for a 2019 game. The explosions are super low quality and overall this game feels very outdated. And of course, the essence of the game is to be confronted to a very high amount of zombies, but when that happens, the fps rate drops to a scarily low number.

    Moreover it has some really terrible features. When you fail a mission at some point, you have to completely restart it. There is a total absence of checkpoints. The worst, of course, is that among my three mission replays, two happened because a NPC we had to escort glitched. Then the dialogues. Again, terrible. The few jokes I heard from the characters are not funny at all.

    I noted only two positive points. 1) the fact that cooperation is necessary to accomplish the tasks. It's tricky, even in Easy difficulty, to play without dying if you don't cooperate with your mates. 2) I noted no connection issues at all. Some might take this for granted but several games still don't manage stable connections in 2020.

    Conclusion, avoid this game. I was bored as from the first hour and struggled finding any positive aspect.    … Expand

It's third person Left 4 Dead inspired roots is admirable, but the overall gameplay is simply too messy to invest your time in. 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

    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.
