Reviewers express a fondness for the zombies mode and the campaign's engaging narrative, appreciating its nostalgic elements and depth. However, there is significant criticism of the game's microtransaction focus, leading many to feel that the pricing does not reflect value. The game's aesthetic choices, particularly in skins, are a divisive element of the experience, with strong opinions about their impact on immersion. Overall, while there are elements of the game that receive positive feedback, the general sentiment skews negative due to performance issues and monetization complaints overshadowing the game's strengths.
