You know... i gotta say. This game surprised me. i actually LIKE this game. i know... its crazy. ive played this at beta, and hated it. i played it on games pass a year later, and hated it. Now for some reason this year i gave it an honest chance and... i dig it. its the weirdest thing. Now. the key to enjoying this game is to not compare it to L4D2. ill just say this now, its not L4D and its not as good as it either. BUT, if you accept the game for what it is, that being a zombies rouge-like looter shooter. then its actually alright. things it does better than L4D would be the variety in guns. i play L4D2 a lot but even i grow tired of the same few weapons., this has nearly double to use. though the gun play does feel like a step down due to the zombies not reacting as much to being shot. the game tries to lure you in with its serious tone but during gameplay, between the visuals and the way the characters talk, it can feel a bit like fortnite at times. Theres a decent amount of content, but you really need to have the hive expansions or you will run out of stuff to do in a month. they add a bit more potential strategy in a run as well as 2 more campaigns because in the base game theres only 3 plus a final fight at the end. the main bulk of the game is trying to get skins for your guns and character, as well as booster cards for your runs. then you move on to harder difficulties and it can grow repetitive with so few campaigns. THIS is why L4D stayed alive so long and why these style games need a workshop going forward. i was kinda sad theres no more content coming now as the devs were just starting to find their groove. If you can pick this up on sale, and maybe grab some friends you can have some legit fun with this title, just dont expect L4D.
