This review is based on 100% completion and 91.2 hours of gameplay.

Would I recommend the game? Absolutely. This is hands down the best horde shooter game on the market to date. I really enjoy all aspects of this game and honestly don’t have any complaints.

The gameplay is incredibly fun, offering a large range of weapons to use and experiment with—not to mention the various versions of weapons you can unlock. Coupled with the different classes and their skill trees, there’s a ton of variety in gameplay options. While the maps and modes are somewhat limited, which could make them feel repetitive to some players over time, I personally enjoyed every run. The sound design, audio, and graphics are all solid, but the gameplay and mechanics are the real highlights of this game.

The story told through the individual campaigns is decent and easy to follow, but I feel it’s overshadowed by the exceptional gameplay. It almost fades into the background as you focus on the action and mechanics, which speaks volumes about how fun the core gameplay is. While that could be seen as a downside, I believe all the elements work together extremely well to create an amazing experience.

The base price of the game is, in my opinion, worth it for the quality and content you receive. However, since the game has been out for a while and often goes on sale, I’d recommend waiting for a discount if you can.

There are multiplayer/coop-specific achievements required for 100%.

Most achievements in this game are fairly straightforward and will come naturally through normal gameplay, though they’ll require a lot of grinding. The only ones to be concerned about are the coop/multiplayer achievements. At the time I went for them, the specific modes required were essentially dead, so we had to create a full group to get them. Just keep that in mind when aiming for 100%.

-I SAW YOU KILL A SEA OF ZOMBIES, AND THE ZOMBIES JUST KEPT COMING!

'You want to know God's honest truth? It's kept me up nights.'

-High replay value.
-Ranged and melee combat is nice n fresh.
-Runs buttery smooth.
-Hundreds of zombies on screen at once.
-Some of the funnest zombie killing co-op fun I've ever had!

I was gifted this game and Im having the friend who sent the gift request a refund. The UI is clean and well done, the environments are graphically well put together and make enough sense to look past it. The game runs very well.

However, the combat is incredibly unsatisfying. Nearly every action has a delay between when you start pressing the button, and when the action actually starts (for example when you press and hold the medkit button, it takes about a half of a second for the application of the medkit to even *start*), which ranges from "barely noticeable" to "is something wrong with my hardware?" The guns themselves have very weak sound effects, are highly inaccurate, and dont feel like they do much at all against enemies. Additionally, I would just die seemingly randomly, with no reasonable cause. Two examples are when I was in the middle of melee-comboing 5 zombies and I go down. No other zombies around, and I had full hp less than a second ago. The other example is being at half hp, and a common zombie hits me once and I die. Im sure a large part of that is skill issue, but at least in other games like Left For Dead 2 or Warhammer 40k: Darktide I can go "oh thats what killed me" and improve.

I would not recommend this game.
