really not worth any price considered how bad and buggy this game is. everything you do in this game is just janky in a way that doesn't make any sense or realistic. like: • doors that keep closing when being opened if anything's on its way including you so you have to wait for it to fully open before you cross them. • 4 inventory slots, yeah everything including weapons and key item are taking them, not realistic just making you frustrated and wasting your time. a way to avoid this is to have a proper inventory system or separate key items slots and weapon slots instead. bad game design all and all. people will convince you that it forces players to strategize what to bring and it's for "muh realizm". brother, aint no way a bunch of key or a card takes as much space as a rifle. • buggy campaign and sequence breaking stuff. got stuck on objectives due to triggered doors not open and stuff like that, they never fix it so they didn't care. • overall just janky ass game design. why do i have to look at my phone to see what i need to do? dont give me an excuse about having a proper hud or objective menu for "immersion", this game have health bar, stamina bar and ammo counter.

Honestly not a fan of how slow and unforgiving the gameplay is, the only thing i like about this game are it's environments and maps, they are beyond beautiful for 2013 source engine. Also, the netcode in this game is so broken that you'll spend most of your time troubleshooting setting up a lobby for your friends to join than actually playing the game. Even if you want to play with the bots they are beyond stupid even on the highest difficulty, they always keep shooting at nothing, never follow you no matter how much you shout at them to do so, and blocking your damn way if you're unfortunate enough to find them stopped halfway through a door. Your only way of enjoying this is solo, but most of the time you'll have to enable god mode because of the amount of zombies there are, I've never completed an entire map due to how long they are. I really wish somebody could do a proper remaster/mega patch of this game due to the amount of issues there are.

Just play No More Room In Hell instead

At first I thought I would need to refund this game after a few minutes of gameplay. Surprisingly, it was very good (at least for me). The game offers many weapons to defend yourself, from guns to melees... but if you were to ask me, I would ditch melees for sure. The game itself might be janky, but I don't really think it affects my gameplay. It's fun, scary, and annoying if zombies were at the wrong spot at the wrong time. This game would be like what would happened if No More Room In Hell and Left 4 Dead 2 had a child. It's forgiving than NMRIH, but punishing than L4D2. Despite it being "co-op" yet having a dead server browser, you can still enjoy it Solo. Like L4D2's Director AI, the game itself has RNG mechanism, to make sure you never play the match over and over. For my likes - The game is singleplayer friendly - You can adjust difficulty - It offers a lot of guns - Has a roster of characters that are also fully voiced - It saves your progress if you pick Campaign - It's very light on your system, my CPU did all of the work. - The settings offer a lot of options to match your playstyle - The game supports workshop, which is a massive win. For my hates - Can be too confusin…
