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

When playing SIngle Player the A.I is absolutely trash. They cannot heal others or themselves, they will stand still and get swarmed by zombies, they will not pick up or place defences such as barbed wire or turrets. Offline single player in this game is bad.

Co Op is much more fun as you will have to work with your team mates to overcome HORDE points and share resources ( especially on higher difficulties ).

Guns feel a bit weak ( especially the sound design ) but you can upgrade them later to deal more damage. Sadly progression in this game is linear and quite frankly boring ( yes you can choose which skill to buy but nine out of ten times it will be damage increase or some other passive stuff ) Gun progression is similar, even though you have silencers and attachments they don't do much. Its all about the damage.

Level design sometimes feel too short and other times a bit too long. Add to that the fact the most levels are linear and have predictable "Stand and defend" points it quickly becomes repetitive.

You can even buy with real money some extra dlc weapons that will COMPLETELY destroy any other weapon in the game. Like you don't need to use anything else because the DLC weapons are maxed out. Although GOTY edition has all the packages ?

The game can be fun but only if you have friends with you. Otherwise I would give it a pass or at least buy on hard sale.

Depending on the price there is a lot of content here.

A few things with the above post. There are some OP weapons right out of the gate, but there are still quite a few unlockables that require you to prestige classes (very important if you want to have an easier time with Extreme difficulty), or amass blue credits (weekly challenges or finishing chapters with mutant samples). The hardest unlock will be the sniper (complete all chapters on extreme). Many say it's underwhelming but for some classes it's a tier 2 weapon with the power of a tier 3 if not better (Fixer with extra penetration is extremely deadly with the sniper)

The game is still active today and your average queue (at least when I play is around 1 minute to find a team) for quick match.

This can be played completely solo right? Unlike a game like Aliens Fireteam Elite or Back 4 Blood where if you don’t have real people with you you are forced to have bot teammates?

So again - can be played completely solo for the campaigns and horde mode?

You can play all the Campaign Maps Solo as well as Horde. I think you dont even need an Internet connection in order to play - but without that you wont get any Class/Weapon XP while playing Solo.

Id give it a 7.5/ 8 with friends, the only gripe is the game needed more content but for what it had, it was fun.

With aftermath they said it would have 23 pve maps and 7 chapters too boot so it seems they finally gave us more content.

P.S. Of all the zombie or horde shooters being released this month, in my opinion WWZ:A is the better one. B4B was hot garbage, aliens seems to be having net work issues, the machine intelligence is terrible and has little content.

It's not a bad game at all, it's actually really good. The potato, Wolfishmeat7 calling it mediocre did't even give a logical reason as to why it's mediocre. Plenty of weapons and upgrades, good rpg elements to it adding classes, perks etc. The hordes of infected are so much more impressive than the few zombies that run after you in L4D and now they're adding more maps. Like others said, it lacked content but more is now being added. I do agree that the original being Epic exclusive is a bs move but that doesn't mean the game is bad or mediocre. I also just Got Aliens Fireteam and I think the only reason why I like it is because I'm an Aliens fan......that being said WWZ is way better.

Not at all. It's the EGS effect :D

I’ve read the weapons feel underpowered or lack oomph in WWZ. Can you elaborate? Is it that bad/noticeable?

For me weapons felt fine when I played, snipers had umph when you hit zombies, heavy weapons also hit hard. The lighter weapons and silenced weapons were on the softer side, melee was the only thing that was a little lack luster but hopefully they fix that with the revamped melee system.

I actually liked it. I played it on Gamepass for a while and enjoyed myself. Would I have paid 40 or higher for it? Probably not, but it's fun especially with friends, has drop in-drop out co-op, voice chat, easy cross-platform play, good (yet repetitive) voice lines, and a simple progression system.

I definitely think it going to EGS had a lot of hate around it. It's one of the few games that weren't timed exclusive. I assume that didn't do much for them seeing as how they want to be on Steam now.

Imo the game is a much better game now than what it was before at first released.

Although not perfect, it's still a very good game, I spent many hundreds of hours with it. Some quality of life improvement and solving a few bugs would elevate it to a great level, but as it is it's still a lot of fun. Just be advised, if you end up playing cross platform with people from Xbox or playstation: they suck, a lot, they are just very bad players.

The problem is that everything under a score of 8 is seen as bad nowadays. Heck, I'd take the scores as they are and recommend everything above 4 if you are a fan of a reviewed genre. 5 is the real "average". I have played games that got 5-7s and were more fun than these overhyped games. Hype and expectations really play a huge role in the fun factor. Being surprised by a game will always net you more fun than going into a 8-10 reviewed game just to see that it's just another open world 8h cutscene slog or just a prettier clone of something else
