It’s literally the perfect co-op game. You can do so much for your teammates, you can screw them over, you can save them, you can go nuts with an auto shotgun and murder them.

I guess the zombie killing part is good too, tons of enemy variation and AI that can be pretty cruel at times.

Oh and the voice acting and dialogue is top of the line, this game has that Valve dialogue charm where every character exchange is full of charm and is a joy to listen to. You really get attached to the survivors and every stay voice line is a fun glimpse into their character.

The gameplay is snappy. It’s hard to describe but it really just allows a good player to be good. You can coordinate with your team and avoid taking pretty much any damage. There’s a good variety of weapons as well that are all fun to use. Zombies blow up into bits or fall to pieces when you hit them with heavy caliber firearms.

The game utilizes amazing sound design and musical cues to warn players and to keep them listening. Each special has their little theme that plays whenever they spawn or are creeping around.

The steam workshop brings this game up from a 4.5 to a 5, no question. You want Coach to be Master Chief? Now he is. You want all the weapons to use reloads ripped from Modern Warfare 2? Now they are. You want custom campaigns that are either masterpieces or balanced so horribly you will have a blast going through them? It’s all there

Play this. Please. Play this with me. I will literally play this whenever it’s the best game ever made.
