    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

    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.

    -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

    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

    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.

    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.
