Combat and gore systems are widely praised for their creativity and satisfaction they bring during play. Many players found the story and dialogue lacking depth and engagement, with some describing it as unfinished. While the game offers humor and weapon progression systems that entertained some, they also frustrated others. Despite these shortcomings, the game offers a pleasant visual and action-packed experience, particularly for those looking to slay hordes of zombies without a heavy focus on plot. However, issues with Epic Games integration and some technical glitches have marred the experience for a portion of players.

Positive Points

  • The game features satisfying and creative combat mechanics, especially melee attacks, which players found enjoyable.
  • Graphics and the gore system are highly praised, with players highlighting the detailed and visceral effects during zombie encounters.
  • Optimization is noted as impressive, allowing the game to run smoothly even at high settings on older hardware.

    • Negative Points

  • Many players criticized the story, describing it as shallow, nonsensical, or incomplete with an abrupt ending.
  • The game’s level design received criticism for being too linear and not truly open-world, which some players found disappointing compared to its predecessor.
  • Some players experienced technical issues and bugs, particularly related to the Epic Games online services integration and server connectivity.

    • Mixed Points

  • The humor and dialogue were polarizing; while some appreciated the cheeky and irreverent style, others found it cringy and annoying.
  • Weapon durability and the progression system were seen as a mix of fun and frustration, with players having differing opinions on their impact on gameplay.

    • Common Themes

  • Many reviews emphasized the game's focus on casual fun and mindless zombie slaying rather than a deep narrative.
  • There is a recurring theme of players recommending the game as a worthwhile purchase during sales, rather than at full price.
  • The cooperative multiplayer experience is highlighted as a fun aspect, although some players encountered difficulties with online connectivity.
