    It is the same game as on other consoles. And it has the same pro and contras. The game is fun to play with the real people. Bots are frustrating gaming experience - they are stupid as hell and don't do any kind of routine in game sequences.
    About the switch port. It is fine. There are some problems with performance for a short period of time, but overall it keeps above 25 fps very well    It is the same game as on other consoles.

    Great fun and quite challenging too which is always a plus for me. Looks a good port and runs pretty well - its almost a miracle that it works this well on a handheld like Switch.

    great game but this are pro and con to me personaly

    pros -it on switch -u can pause the game while playing offline (quite revolutionary nowaday idk why game dev stop allowing pause on offline mode) -it playable in a way i used to play on ps4 and the fps performance close to ps4 when there is zombie horde -gyro aim (might cause headache to some people but it does help) con -no    great game but this are pro and con to me personaly

    pros
    -it on switch
    -u can pause the game while playing offline (quite revolutionary nowaday idk why game dev stop allowing pause on offline mode)
    -it playable in a way i used to play on ps4 and the fps performance close to ps4 when there is zombie horde
    -gyro aim (might cause headache to some people but it does help)

    con
    -no aftermath update (i only care for the first person mode)
    -no defense mode (i guess for a good reason)
    -the developer is lowlife degenerate they make the ai so stupid so you were forced to play with other people online

    who ever give this game a low review is
    -unreasonable pc graphic and fps whor3 (who also for some reason usually hate laptop gamer to)
    -nintendrone who only play mario
    -non gamer    … Expand

    If you have already played the game on the PC or another console, then it is not worth buying. Players of the Nintendo Switch should still take a look at it, even if it's not graphically top-notch. There is a lot to offer in terms of gameplay, and the genre is kept rather thin on this console. You should have a look at "World War Z".

    This game is great fun on the go. The levels arent too long so its perfect for portability. Im thouroughly impressed as to how this game runs so well on switch. I play on the switch lite so i cant compare the tv version to handheld.

    Only reason it loses a star is because matchmaking can take some time. I dont know if this is due to bad design or few players although i have played plenty    This game is great fun on the go.

    Only reason it loses a star is because matchmaking can take some time. I dont know if this is due to bad design or few players although i have played plenty of campaign levels with a full squad. The pvpvz multiplayer seems dead and buried but i'll be trying it a few more times to make sure.    … Expand

    Since it has been quite some time since Left 4 Dead and its sequel were released way back when, people like me have been jonesing for something more modern that could attempt to scratch that itch. Given that the Switch shooter ecosystem is limited to begin with, up to this point people without access to a PC or another console have really had few choices available to them. Finally, WorldSince it has been quite some time since Left 4 Dead and its sequel were released way back when, people like me have been jonesing for something more modern that could attempt to scratch that itch. Given that the Switch shooter ecosystem is limited to begin with, up to this point people without access to a PC or another console have really had few choices available to them. Finally, World War Z (yes, based on the world from the movie) has shown up to try to satisfy the need to blow away the flesh-eating undead and… it’s OK. Since I’ve played hundreds of hours of Left 4 Dead and its sequel on PC and now Back 4 Blood as well, cutting back my expectations to look at a more humble attempt on the far less powerful Switch has been a challenge. There’s no denying that visually everything is a bit pixelated and muddy, which is disappointing, but I’ll at least note that for the most part the frame rate at least feels pretty decent, even if the general pace of the game being slower to begin with probably helps in this regard. My biggest complaint is just the lack of oomph to things, especially when it comes to the weapons and their sounds. The sounds of explosions and super-powerful weapons are plain anemic and I didn’t understand how much that adds to the experience before playing this compared to the other franchises I’ve enjoyed. That said, if the Switch is your only gaming option, and you’ve got some friends who are ready to join in on the fun, it’s a very tight race between this and Earthfall: Alien Horde (each having their own merits) for which is the best on the console.

    Si te gustó Left 4 Dead podría gustarte este juego, es bastante divertido y el Port para Switch ha salido bueno, pero deberían sacar Aftermath como en el resto de plataformas.

    And that’s the key takeaway from World War Z on the Switch: it’s fun. It may not be the prettiest game, nor is it the most original, but when you’re mowing down row after row of zombies, it more than does the trick.

    I do recommend other more powerful versions over the Switch version, but the Switch version is not bad at all if that if your only option or you just enjoy having your games on Switch. If you like Left 4 Dead or Back 4 Blood, this game is worth a try. I honestly like this game quite a bit and plan to return to it from time to time.

    There’s not much meat to the bones of this zombie-infested adventure, but World War Z—more fun than fear—manages to offer a neat range of multiplayer gaming options and a competent single player campaign.
