    Complete Time Waste. No big Challenges. Wasting my time was never more expensive.

    shorting does not feel satisfying, guns dont have any recoil most weapons are behind containers which require a breach charge which is incredibly rare to find. game play is repetitive

    It's a highly entertaining third person shooter. The hordes and the set-pieces are really impressive and a lot of love clearly went into this project.

    Shooting Delayed AFFFF in multiplayer. I sometimes regret getting it.. But they better fix it in the upcoming update. Its impossible to aim. Its fine in online campaign.. But multiplayer? NO. Disgustingly terrible (BECAUSE) of the 'Delay'

    A cooperative action shooter set in a post apocalyptic world overrun with zombies. Up to 4 players work together to progress through different missions, using different weaponry and equipment to reach each level's objective.

    Definitely a game to play with others and not a single player game at all, if you can find it for $20 its a great price for a fun ride while it lasts as the gameplay eventually can get repetitive.    … Expand

    Game is fun strictly on multiplayer. Not suitable if the plan is to play on single player as NPC are not very well made.
    There is a lot comparison to Left4dead but are not close at all.
    The characters of wwz are soulless and generic macho. The direction of the game, except some specific parts of some maps, is not something to catch you eye.

    This is a great game to get into even in 2021. It has had some amazing updates and dev support, with cross play you can always find people to play with.

    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. Especially in horde mode, since zombies are coming from left, right, top, bottom and from your mate's ass, so it gets chaotic quickly, which is not a problem in itself, but when the awkward aiming is mixed in, it suddenly becomes aI don't like 3rd person fps at all.

    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

    This is such a great game! I enjoyed it so much. It is most fun with couple of friends, co-op multiplayer (private). Literal hours of non stop fun. Recommend for all that love zombies and apocalyptic stories

    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.

    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.
