The verdict
A Saber co-op zombie horde shooter with satisfying gunplay and driving, but short and repetitive with thin content and a FOMO battle pass. Skip it unless you have friends and a sale price.
Great for
Squads of friends who like L4D or WWZ-style horde shooters and can buy it on sale
Main risk
Only 8-9 similar missions, so you may run out of things to do quickly
