I kind of went with the wrong expectation here. I expected a Left 4 Dead vibe, but this is way more problematic, less interesting, slower, and repetitive.
I’d say that you NEED to play co-op, solo is just boring and buggy. The characters are distinct and fun, and their gear variety is really cool. For instance, I got a bow that did not require me to aim, which made the hordes way easier. The map design and the mission objectives suck, but the theme variety is okay. The “boss” maps are also not great, and the plot is so forgettable I couldn’t really point out anything from it. The melee combat is weightless and dull, even with cooler weapons, but thankfully the ranged gameplay is mostly fun. The whole loot system is stupid, and unrewarding.
Overall: fun with friends, but lacks a lot of what made Left 4 Dead a great game.
