This game good or actually bad?

[kaMMakaZZi9]

PC metacritic is 7.0 and user score is 5.9? So is this game actually bad?

[Im on EQOA Sandstorm Toons Below]

compared to what Ive seen of back 4 blood, since neither has campaign verssus, i prefer this over back 4 blood since b4b's beta campaigns are tiny maps that lack depth (in most) compared to this game's campaigns

imo wwz is better than the overhyped back4blood beta

The base game only had 4 episodes right? And will now have 7 total? I saw someone play Episode 1 New York and it was solo on hardest difficulty and the entire video was less than 30 mins long.

So only 7 episodes that are tops 30 mins each? Wouldn’t the missions get stale very fast? Seems like the game lacks content.

The base game has 4 episodes, a.k.a. Campaigns, which each consist of multiple maps per Campaign.

There is also a DLC Campaign that was released after the base game, and which is included with this Aftermath version.

In addition, the Aftermath version has two new campaigns on top of all that.

So, in total, Aftermath gives you 7 Campaigns, which consists of 23 different unique maps.

That's a lot more content, for a lot cheaper of a price, than is offered by competitor game like "Back 4 Blood," which only has 8 maps, in total (ROFL!), for $59.99, plus endless microtransactions on top of that.

Also, World War Z requires repeated playthrough of the maps in order to gain experience and level up your characters' Classes, each of which comes with unique perks that can only be earned by gaining experience by playing as that particular class.

And since you can only play as one Class at a time, there is no way to level up all your Classes simultaneously (hence multiple playthroughs is needed in order to earn viable characters of every Class).

You also have to level-up your weapons through experience of using them, which likewise requires multiple playthroughs.

As for the video you saw of a guy beating an Episode solo, in 30 minutes, on the hardest difficulty: that would be a very atypical experience. That comment makes it sound as if the game is an easy cakewalk to breeze through the first time...but it actually isn't, at all.

For the average player, they aren't going to stand a chance on the hardest difficulty unless they are:

a) playing in Co-op (since bots are very dumb, and highly useless, and don't come with any experience levels or class perks, and don't pick up upgraded weapons or equipment or medkits, and don't help set up defenses, etc.) and

b) have fully leveled-up the Class & weapons of the character they are playing

c) have a lot of experience on the particular map they are playing on.

In other words, that video you saw seems to have given you a very misleading impression about the game's difficulty. Maybe an eSports-type player or a hacking player could breeze through the game with bots no matter what...but an average normal gamer, no way.

This game is actually very hard on the higher difficulties, even with full 4 players in Co-op. It's very common for your whole party to get defeated in a matter of seconds during a horde attack. Most players are going to experience that many times.

What i like about WWZ is the grinding aspect. You basically have to level up Weapons by earning Weapon XP, and then you have the Classes which you can Prestige multiple times too. Its a real grind but without spending any money/no microtransactions.

It's better than B4B in my opinion (and far more challenging).

[DunKo]

i get game free on epic. since i bought dlcs. game is good, fun and some gamemods are for tryharders. buy it now!
Sorry for bad english. HF

[Ultra]

it is okay i tried it with a friend, is the only game i got on epic, because there was rumors of the game not coming to steam back then, since there will be new content, fixes and probably future DLC might be better

[Relkya]

Played this on Game pass. It's an okay game. it will be fun if you play around with your friends. If you play solo or with randoms, it gets boring really fast after 1-2 sessions.

[To0t]

Its a pretty good game for the price it is at. I think I paid $29.99 CAD for it and I dont expect AAA level of polish.

That being said it is the next best game after left 4 dead when it comes to zombie shooter.

7/10 with everything considered

[Xtapodi Tom]

ill give it 7.5/10 its good but missing some stuff that could make it a 9/10 game
but i usualy stay away from games with dlcs but i stick around with this one couse its dlcs actualy add content and make the game better its not one of those games wich add a dlc with weapons and sh1t. but it actualy add maps campaings new class weapons new mechanics . the only other game i saw doing this is grim dawn . they may be slow at their actions heck they need a year + to add smth new but they haven't give up yet thats a plus for me . i have 300h+ on the game already with my friends and we keep playing a match every week . im only afraid with the steam reviews from haters they gonna kill the game for stupid reasong wait and see :P steam community is worse than riot community those days they kill games for no reasons at all they should ban the troll reviews realy

[Ki11s0n3]

Really bad unless that managed to fix it's issues with the the last year or so from when I last played it. It's extremely boring and lack luster. Only good part of the game was the zombie hordes.

Ppl are just mad because EPIC bought it to be exclusive on their page.
The game is pretty damn good. Im excited for it to coming to Steam

I bought World War Z on EPIC and it was so good that I bought it for three other other people.

Back 4 Blood on the other hand, is always-online, live-service trash which will definitely get killed just like Battleborn, Lawbreakers and Evolve, the last of which was literally made by the same company.

Speaking of which, if the Back 4 Blood devs cared about players at all, they would have learned from their mistakes and made their next game playable offline or on community servers so that it wouldn't become unplayable like Evolve. However, they have instead decided to pack the game full of microtransactions and disable mods because they view players as nothing more than assets to be exploited and discarded.

its way better than back for blood.

[psyche]

Its mediocre at best, if you've played a lot of shooters. You'll be disappointed on how awful the sound quality of every single guns in the game
