It may be in a too early stage to judge this game but given the free week promo, they seem confident to show their game. What I experienced in these short minutes made me quit the game because it is (multi-player-wise) in an unplayable condition.
I do not know where the issue is atm, but the experience is far too laggy and bugged, that I could not do anything.
Additionally, after running for a few seconds, my character starts to breathe very heavily and never stops until I am dead or the round has ended. This sound is very annoying to hear for a long time.

As a Fan of Shooters and Strategy Games, I am not much into Point & Click Adventures (I plainly don't like them) but because of the good reviews and the setting in The Walking Dead universe, I gave it a shot.
Turns out, that even for a guy like me who does not like games like this in general, it is just a great experience.
Think of it as an interactive mini-spin-off season of TWD.
The story is great and the DLC is worth the $5 if you liked the base game (DLC playtime is about 1.5-2hrs).

So if you like the series and want to experience more story content that does not have to be bound to the existing group of survivors, this game is worth a shot, even if you don't like this kind of game.

Hard but rewarding

Es fehlen die mittlererweile bei Strategiespielen zum Standard gehörenden Features wie die Shift-queue etc. Hotkeys zum Gebäude und Einheitenbau werden nicht angezeigt, man muss diese selbst herausfinden :( Zudem läuft das Spiel (selbst nach ein paar Patches) sehr instabil und die genialen Voice-Taunts aus dem ersten Teil sind auch nicht mehr zu finden. Ich hatte mir einen würdigen Nachfolger erhofft, aber leider ist es nur eine schlechtere Version des Vorgängers mit (geringfügig) verbesserter Grafik. TL;DR: Alles in allem nicht zeitgemäß und das Geld (zumindest bei Release) in meinen Augen nicht wert. Schade :(

The first enemy I encountered jumped on me, then sat still in a corner for 10 seconds where I was able to unload 2 pistol magazines into it. I then closed the game and it kept starting up after exiting. 10/10 would not buy again.

Play this game, if you like black humor, sarcasm, gore and hidden eastereggs.
The Fighting system is simple but fun in a nice way. It is a real shame that it is mostly easier to simply left-click than to use combos to get a better score and kill enemies faster :/

Do not play this game, if you don't like games where you need to collect everything that lies around and search for passages a few minutes.
This game could spare you ~ 1 - 1.5 hours of your playtime if the parts of seeking keys / keystones / doors and ammunition / money were cut out and replaced by a "money per monster killed / per level done"-mechanic.
Also I died a few times by dashing while running down stairs - The fall damage killed me and you cannot do anything about it. That was really annoying.

But the game's humor makes you forget the bad things about it and in the end I enjoyed it very much, thus the recommendation.

I am adressing purely the Multiplayer (Singleplayer in Ghosts is the same 5 hour explosion and shooty shooty boom boom fest as every year, if you would have wondered)

Last year's Black Ops 2 being a bit optimized for PC and a little step up back to the first few COD's, my hopes were high that IW does a bit more for the PC community this year, along with their posts about "supporting the PC version" in terms of dedicated servers, etc.

Well, this years iteration of COD is a scam again. COD 2 and 4 being the last CODs that I would recommend to play (balanced weapons, gameplay, maps - There are still servers running, especially for COD: MW1!!!), I can clearly say that COD: Ghosts is the worst game of the series.

The weapons are unbalanced as **ck, the killstreak rewards are overpowered crap for the people that already have killstreaks going (as every year since COD:MW2).
The maps are weirdly designed and mostly too big for the standard COD setup (6-10 players) in my opinion.
Also there are no dedicated servers or a server browser and not even a map selector. So you have to play random maps again.

The framerate is capped at 90 (but has an option for 120 xD), the FOV is capped at 65 and activision has shut down the original download for a FOV changer made from the community.

The optimization for PCs is so poor that I don't even wanna speak about it. But I'll give a few lines:

My mates and I that both have new systems (1 complete new System (Intel - Nvidia) and two upgraded systems (Intel - AMD) with high level CPUs and graphics cards, SSDs and quality RAM (and do not call me a nooby because I would not know If my system is good or not - I think I know pretty well) do struggle with this game at high settings and mostly when zooming in with sniper rifles on this engine (which is - here it comes - the same old modified Quake 2 engine that was used for the first CODs). Also, you need to have 6GB patched: 4GB of RAM to run the game, although it consumes 2GB RAM at a maximum.
The game has 1(!!!) Sound slider for Master sound.
On some systems even the menues are lagging if you have the steam overlay enabled.
Oh, and there is an "aimbot" already implemented for you guys. Just plug in a controller and have fun.

I know I forgot many bad facts but I do not want to write so much.

Last I want to say is, that, I guess if the consoles would not be bought by so many ****rds, the PC gaming community would get what they deserve. But as you know, folks, the sale numbers of the "next generation" consoles is already too high to have any optimistic thoughts about the future. Which means back to Counter Strike and hope for many fixes for the Battlefield series (which is in the same poor condition due to consoles and short development cycles - but at least has decent PC community features) - or for the strategists: Back to Dota and Starcraft 2, which are two of the best games for PC that came out in the last few years.

This is clearly the worst MOBA game I have played and maybe one of the worst multiplayer games.

This game is already junk on the PS3 but the PC version is not even optimized.
If the menues('structure) did not already make you uninstall this game, the gameplay will.
Being a fan of the LOTR Books and Films does not help when u want to play this game.

The controls are not optimized for PC, the hero system is (in-game) money based and the overall gameplay has nothing to do with teamwork. The game time is capped at 20 minutes and those

Although as everytime, I'd advise to watch streams or gameplay videos before deciding to buy or not to buy this game.

Best story in a game I have seen in the last 2 years at least! GTA should be like this. HD Textures, no loading times and smooth gameplay with awesome melee combat. I hope this one gets a movie (hopefully not directed by Uwe Boll...)

do not buy this crap! It's worse than MW2! ♥♥♥♥♥♥ graphics, unbalanced weapons, no console, no ded ranked servers, unchangable FOV (you must play with FOV 65 (!!!!!!!!)), nothing specail to change in config, theatre mode is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up due to in-eye demos, playstyle is not dynamic like in BF3, ........................................
