Can someone actually review the f***ing game?
The game is hard-stuck at "Mixed" right now because every positive review is "LUL STEAM > EPIC GAMES" and every negative review is "OMG EPIC GAMES < STEAM" or "DENUVO BAD BECUZ YOUTUBER TOLD ME SO TEN YEARS AGO".
PLEASE don't make me watch a YouTuber review of this game to get information.

So, I've played this game for a long time since it came out on Epic. I absolutely adore it. It's loosely connected to the first one, with a character appearance and reference or so, but it could easily stand on its own. The story is completely new, and it embraces being silly. The characters are over-the-top, and it's really fun. Don't expect anything too serious. It has moments, but it's mainly here to have fun.

The combat is fantastic. This game is one that doesn't show it's full hand early. The beginning combat can feel a bit repetitive. But as you learn the combat and get more skills as the game goes on, it really opens up and lets you fight how you want.

It's a game that's become a sort of comfort game for me. I can load it up and run around mindlessly killing zombies just for the fun of it. I've had a great time with the game, and hopefully others will, too

it's pretty good, just running around killing zombies, i don't really care for the story or the characters, they're sorta boring and nothing they say has any importance

The game is great. I played it on EGS when it came out. Don't listen to the reviewers on here. The steam review system is abused and honestly needs to be removed completely.

So all the side-characters are woke mouthpieces standing on soap-boxes?
2024 is so fresh.

EGS? More like ESG.

As long as having to install epic game store and having an epic account doesn't make you not want to buy the game off the bat (I won't buy it because of this) Then buy it play it for less then 2 hours if its ♥♥♥♥ refund it.

There are plenty of reviews out there, as the game launched on EGS some time ago. I don't believe much will have changed, aside from the added DLC.

Steam reviews aren't usually my go-to for this very reason.

Nawh, Steam Reviews just need to require more than 5 minutes played before they can spam "OMG Starfield is a 10/10 masterpiece!"

Based and finance-pilled.
Keep your money if they don't deserve it.

I only care about reviews from "KnotSniffer69" with 2,000 hours in Furry CyberF*cker.
Steam Reviews are the only honest source of information in the universe.

I might’ve scraped my knee and elbow.

Go to IGN / Vandal / Gamespot and watch their reviews.
The game is a solid 7-7.5/10 to me

Good gameplay, so-so story with some memorable moments, map is awesome, but it lacks "challenges"/variations while playing and that makes it feel repetitive, and can get boring from time to time, but for a game that was in development hell for so much time, it is a miracle that ended this good.

7/10? So literally the most mid game ever.
I'll stick with Dying Light in that case, thank you for your help.
