I was hoping for a fun horde game in the same vein of Left 4 Dead, but instead I got "Escort Quest - The Game".

Being able to level up to unlock perks, more damage for weapons, character skins, and the large cast of playable characters is cool.

Unfortunately, the allied AI in this game is downright terrible, so I'd argue that playing solo with bots is pretty unviable even on the easiest difficulty.

The final straw for me was at Story 2 Part 3 when I experienced a bug that then lead into another bug which pulled my into an inescapable area (there is a bug where your character will sometimes get knocked down by nothing. The second part of this bug dragged my character through a gated area that had no way out).

When I thought about how I didn't want to go through the area defense objective and escort quest at the start, I realized that has been the whole game; defending areas and escorting NPCs until the hordes stop coming.

If it had just been get from one end of the map to the other and survive with 3 other players (bots) then this would have been something. Alas, in my opinion, Left 4 Dead 2 remains the undisputed king.
