Overall, players see a compelling co-op survival game with immersive, tense zombie encounters and satisfying teamwork with friends, but its appeal is undermined by game-breaking bugs, unreliable lobbies, and character losses caused by disconnects. Many also feel limited content and repetitive progression shorten its lifespan, while the permadeath stakes, slow pace, and public-team experience are defining features that some players love and others find frustrating.
Positive Points
Players praise the game’s tense, immersive Romero-style zombie atmosphere, detailed environments, unsettling sound design, and infection effects that make even slow zombies feel dangerous.The deliberate survival gameplay—managing scarce ammo, stamina, medicine, and infection while choosing when to fight or evade—creates memorable, high-stakes missions.Co-op can be especially rewarding with friends or a coordinated team, with up to eight players, proximity chat, resource sharing, and dramatic rescues and extractions.Many reviewers enjoy the weapon and melee combat, varied objectives and map layouts, character builds, and the improvement over the game’s rough early-access state.Negative Points
Frequent bugs, crashes, desynchronization, rubberbanding, and server or connection failures can interrupt missions and sometimes permanently erase characters and hours of progression.Many players report broken party invites and lobby or matchmaking problems that prevent them from playing with friends.The limited map, mission, weapon, and enemy variety makes runs feel repetitive; players also say the endgame and rewards offer little reason to keep playing after leveling characters.Public matchmaking is often criticized for loot hoarding, poor communication, rushing, and teammates abandoning or failing to help others, undermining the intended co-op experience.Solo play is widely seen as unrewarding because it offers little or no character progression, while long missions, slow movement, and some clunky combat and interaction mechanics can feel tedious.Some players dislike the balance and progression systems, including unpredictable or seemingly endless zombie spawns, grind-heavy unlocks, weak or unclear perks, and the loss of equipment after extraction.Mixed Points
Permadeath and the risk of losing a leveled character make missions tense and consequential for some players, but feel unfair when bugs or disconnects cause the loss; rescue beacons also reduce the stakes for players who prefer that.Teamwork is central to the intended experience and can make coordinated runs excellent, but public lobbies are inconsistent and often turn resource sharing into competition.The slow, methodical pace and long missions build suspense for fans, while others find them sluggish, frustrating, or overly drawn out.The game has improved substantially through updates and many reviewers appreciate the developers’ ongoing work, but they still want more content, polish, and fixes.Common Themes
Reviews repeatedly describe the game as a slow-paced, high-stakes co-op zombie survival shooter built around scavenging, resource management, infection, objectives, and extraction.Atmosphere and tension are among the most consistently praised qualities, especially the grounded zombies, detailed maps, sound design, and fear of being overwhelmed or infected.The quality of multiplayer depends heavily on the group: friends and cooperative teammates can make missions memorable, while selfish or uncommunicative random players can spoil them.Technical reliability is a major concern because bugs, crashes, and connection problems can disrupt play or cause permanent character loss.Many players enjoy the core gameplay but consider the current selection of maps, objectives, weapons, and long-term progression too limited for lasting replayability.Updated 10/24/2026, 12:03:06 AM UTC
