    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.

    Everything is great about this game the story is very well done with moments that really makes you feel like you are inside a World War Z movie but the characters are your typical PC generic cast so you won't be playing as Brad Pit.

    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

    You wanted Left4Dead 3? You've come to the right place mate.

    Pros: The hordes of zombies aren't mashed potatoes. They just look like one. They are actual individual zombies you shoot (peel) off, one by one.

    FUN GAME if playing with friends! But I think the real game begins when you play it at HARD or above.

    To whom it is too easy for you - you can increase the difficulty and then it is almost impossible to survive.

    I can't think of a better game made from movie franchises. Maybe there is some kind of Harry Potter ...
    The only thing missing is the music from the original film, it's amazing there!    … 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!

    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.

    This is the best coop game since LFD!!! Play with your friends on at least 4 stars difficulty for true experience! huge maps, great challenge (on 4 stars), supportive narrative, beautiful characters, deep and useful progression and upgrades system, massive replayability, best gunfire experience ever, millions 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.
