The verdict
A chaotic, easy open-world zombie sandbox with great combo weapons and vehicles, best in co-op. The PC port is rough (30fps lock, save wipes), so skip it if you hate tinkering.
Great for
Co-op players who want mindless zombie slaughter with wacky combo weapons and vehicles, ideally bought on sale
Main risk
Starting the DLC can wipe your save, and the 30fps lock and bugs need manual fixes
What changed in the last 30 days
34 recent reviews
Recent positive reviews mostly praise fun and nostalgia and say the fps fix is easy. The save-wipe bug still appears in recent negatives, so the reason for the shift is unclear.
