No More Room in Hell 2

I bought this game to tell you to please fix the Chivalry 2 servers. Seems like that game may be a more lucrative route to success anyway. Can't find a lobby in this game, go check out Chivalry 2.

The developers are currently pushing out updates to continuosly fix the active glitches. Although, the base game does have enough stuff to keep yourself busy for roughly 20hrs of gameplay, it does become a rinse and repeat with little to no variate each game. I can see this game becoming a 8/10 in a year from now when they add an armory, character progression, new enemies, and more items and locations in the game to keep it fresh for returning players. I would give the game a 6.5/10 for now. I am hopeful the team will keep providing fresh experiences and updates to this game.

this game is early access and it SHOWS. this is not a bad thing necessarily. the devs are *actually* updating the game. they literally changed the roadmap based on feedback. they introduced getting infected and are adding in multiple maps with multiple main objectives..HOWEVER. again. early access. a little buggy, the animations are goofy, there is (at the time of this, 1/20) only one map so its a tinge repetative... but there's a cake here boys... just be patient while it sits in the oven

I have not had a game make me sht my pants in years. this one did it.

im enjoying it as of right now. not too many bugs, things seem balanced.

much better with friends : fight undead and complete tasks : collect items to extract with to level up your character, then pick new skills.

hopefully replayability is a thing with this game.

I really want to enjoy this game, but the current state of matchmaking and the high ping is making it tough. As an Oceania player, it would be great to at least have the option to play solo or host my own non-dedicated matches, its almost impossible to find a playable game after long wait times...this this is a shared issues with the community. Until these issues are addressed, I feel like the player base will continue to dwindle. it's frustrating to want to play but feel held back by these problems, and i mean once the player base gets low enough not even solo players can enjoy the game they spent their cash on.

NMRiH 2 is a good game... At least in theory. The game launched completely bugged out and was almost impossible to play. It has gotten better, but is still lacking. The game is not super replayable in its current state. It's more or less the same repetitive steps to gather loot for the game. There is remnants of soul to the checkpoints in the game, but a lot of it lacks individuality to really have an impact. This could be a lot of fun. But because of how it released its going to be hard for it to make a solid comeback. Currently there's 45 people playing worldwide with a 64 player peak. Finding a match is next to impossible really. I don't understand why they didn't add the classic offline survival and mission modes from the first game. Then it would be playable even at a low player count, and probably wouldn't be as low as it is in the first place. Ill give it a thumbs up because I am hopeful, but really, don't buy it yet.

Smoother combat, more content, better game performance, and this game will be very good. It's drop dead gorgeous by the way.

The game kinda sucks, the trailer is very misleading.
the gameplay is buggy and repetitive
it's not well optimized and the graphics are years behind when this came out
it also lacks updates

IT IS EARLY ACCESS.

- Player base is kind to each other, good friends to be made.
- Difficulty is diverse, sometimes an easy run can go bad very quickly, 0 to 100.
- Character levels vs Account level is a good way of balancing permadeath.
- Torn Banner won't abandon it.
- The player base wants more people to play with!

Not even sure if they can fix the game at this point. It's straight garbage.

On paper its a game we all wanted. In reality its a buggy mess that doesn't deliver. Not to recommend in its current state.

Not many games has the immersion factor...
This has it's odd moments but knowing it's Early Access Game it's bloody good. I grew tired of zombies games where you can slide and back-flip off walls to wall bang zombies (Black ops 6). This game brings the fear back into multiplayer zombies and honestly every life or death situation I've been in or witnessed with other players felt like a blockbuster movie moment from a classic zombie film, the ambience this game has is incredible...
This game is headed in the right direction, I hope they keep moving forward as the realism here is unparalleled!

I missed the old days when Early access meant game underdevelopment, not a pile of mess of whatever this crap is.... The melee feedback is wonky, and all the objectives seems really repetitive. I would say this is 2 hrs worth a game play and non-playable. The dev need some extensive "refinement" because compared to the original nmrih that was built upon the source engine. This seems like the logan paul version of lunchable- i.e re branded wishy washy back 4 dead, completely soulless. I would not recommend to any original die hard nmrih player

No More Room in Hell 2 has arrived with great anticipation, but while it shows promising potential, it currently feels like it needs more time in the oven.

At its core, the game captures the essence of cooperative survival horror, delivering an immersive atmosphere filled with tension and adrenaline. The graphics and sound design effectively create a chilling experience, drawing players into a world overrun by the undead. However, despite its strengths, No More Room in Hell 2 is hampered by a range of issues that hinder the overall experience. The gameplay can feel unpolished, with bugs and glitches disrupting the flow and immersion. Additionally, some mechanics feel underdeveloped, leading to moments of frustration rather than the intended thrill. The balance of difficulty also seems off at times, with certain encounters feeling overwhelming without sufficient resources or guidance. This can discourage players, especially those new to the franchise. Furthermore, the game’s content feels somewhat sparse at launch, leaving players craving more variety in maps, objectives, and enemy types.

In conclusion, No More Room in Hell 2 holds a lot of potential, but it needs significant improvements in polish and content to truly shine. With dedicated updates and community feedback, it could evolve into a standout title in the survival horror genre. For now, it’s worth keeping an eye on, but players may want to wait for further developments before diving in fully.

Cool idea but still very ROUGH.

The melee combat needs some love and the zombies are incredibly buggy/janky.

No More Room In Hell 2?
More like No More Hope in Torn Banner Studios.

DO NOT BUY.

This game is laggy as fuck, and how the hell did they make the zombies less immersive than the decade old free source NMRiH?

The inventory system is ass, no longer having the immersive and interesting wheel system the original game has but instead something like Minecraft inventory space.

There's barely anyone playing anymore. About at most 100 players, so give it a couple of years, this game will die like Verdun or Beyond the Wire.

They say history repeats itself, but gah damn, this game is basically 2024 version of Back 4 Blood all over again.

Controls are clunky. Has potential but in this state it's still a mess

I decided to go in on this game after seeing that they updated a lot about it, but the game is unfortunately still a buggy mess. Zombies A-posing after you kill them, not being able to equip weapons after using a bandage, and zombies hitting you whenever you're behind them are bugs I encountered in only 15 minutes of gameplay. On the non-bug side of things there are still a ton of issues that need to be addressed. Hits still feel like they have no impact behind them, you can't hold a heavy attack like in NMRiH 1, and medkits take a fraction of the amount of time they did in the first game. I have no clue why they made all of these changes to the formula of the first one when they could've just released the same game with better graphics and I would be happy. I really had high hopes, but unless they do something major, I'm going to avoid it and you should too.

it's like biting into a half backed potato except it has rust inside and you don't have a tetanus shot

The time played since release indicates how addictive this game is, for may of us who play this game daily we love it with all of it's faults.
Yes early release, yes bugs, yes loveit

its fun but its very undercooked i played a full game so my review is very valid i just dont think its worth the money right now so i dont reccomend it however its not bad a bad foundation to build upon so my review may change dont get me wrong. i am still playing it and giving it a chance but until they add more content do not buy unless on sale like it is now

Developers... Why?

Not only is this absolutely not what we were originally shown and lead to believe the game was, it's definitely not what we asked for or wanted.

I think most people would agree, the NMRIH community wanted a newer version of the first. That game is still great, but it's showing it's age. It's extremely clunky and everything feels sluggish and delayed, but the gameplay and the idea of it is still gold.

NMRIH 2 should have basically just been what the first one would be if made today... Well technically it is, but I mean "made today" as in, if it were made how it was made in 2011 with 2024's tech. Obviously it does reek of 2024's game industry and it's unpolished and greed-forward game design.

So what's actually wrong with it?

LAG, and lots of it for starters. Well, I don't know if it lacks Oceanic servers, or if they're just bad, with today's games it could be either, but it ends up feeling just as janky and clunky as the first but this time it's because of server connection quality. The game plays fairly smooth.

Bugs, and lots of them. Characters don't hold the Fire Axe, it just floats above their head. Infected teleport on to you and grab you, and in general they behave and move insanely weird, very unpredictable most of the time. Button prompts feel delayed sometimes but not always. Again I can tell some of it's the servers, but the first game sort of had some of this built it because it was designed by modders at the time, this game actually had a budget.

The overall gameplay loop. Did anyone in their right mind actually want Modern Warfare DMZ as a NMRIH sequel? I really fucking doubt it. This isn't like Hunt Showdown that people compared it to, it has the server issues like Hunt does, but the gameplay in Hunt is more interesting. In NMRIH 2 it's basically just if you make the maps of 1 like 10x bigger, but the goal is the game, which is cool on the first match, but it's the same thing every time, with a single map. It's still co-op, and you can team up with players you find, and it doesn't seem to have any PvP which is great, like it's a cool idea, and I somewhat like it, I'm open to it. But I'd much prefer what the first game had, but that game is so old and in desperate need of an overhaul. WHICH WE THOUGHT WE WERE GETTING HERE!!!

The real questions people would wanna know are. Is it worth getting now? Nope. Can it be fixed. Well yeah.

What will fix this game? In my eyes, they can keep what they have, but polish it until it works smoothly, and ocassionally add to it. But I think it's only fair that they add a separate part of the game, that has the old style holdout mode, and the old style objective mode, with 1 up to 10-12 players max, and include a server browser. This will bring people from the first game to here, because god knows that game seems to be booming since this released and turned out the way it is.

I'd even suggest a new mode, with like a PvPvZ approach. Whether it's on big maps like in 2 or the smaller ones like 1, a map filled with zombies where you're also trying to kill players sound fun and as far as I know there isn't a game that's done that STILL. Think COD but with zombies in the map, and a lot more realistic.

As a fan of NMRIH I bought this game but it's totally unplayable & useless right now cuz they dont let u create a private game if ur not 2 & it takes half hour to find a public lobby, there are also tons of bugs however the game do have a potential & vibes like NMRIH I hope they fix everything & fully release the game soon

Honestly as someone that played NMRIH 1 ALOT.. This game is both a let down and a fun experience. On one hand you have a what is basically a Alpha build of a game coming out for 30 dollars. On the other hand you have a pretty fun experience with friends and even randoms on your first Playthroughs, it was a blast to play. It pains me to see a sequel of a game I loved so much come out unfinished the way this did. But genuinely if the devs and tornbanner would allow mod support and workshop like the first game did (not sure if that's possible for the engine or not) i can see this game thriving.. But as it stands this game is on its way out. if anyone is reading this. I don't think the game atm is worth 30 dollars. If its on sale for like 15 or 10 that is fine, better with friends by far. Maybe in 6 months time that will change but as like what happened with Back4blood id hold my breath.

Games not bad, yes there are bugs but i haven't run into any game breaking ones or any that ruined the experience. this game is very cinematic and has a very big world to explore and to get tackled by hordes.

8.5/10 definitely not the first game lol but still fun to play and to have cinematic moments.

Enjoying what i've played so far. That said it is rough. This IS early access. Its very much a work in progress. I can see why people aren't as happy, a lot of early access games are further along then this.

When I'm playing, and its getting going and things are working well, its very fun. Zombies are satisfying to smack, the tension is there, and the atmosphere is perfect.
That said, i'd wait to purchase this if you are on the fence, it can only get better.

"No More Room in Hell 2" feels like a massive letdown, especially for fans of the first game.

The gameplay is plagued by severe performance issues, with constant stuttering and lag making it nearly unplayable at times and barely fun. On top of that, there are no servers located in Brazil or South America, resulting in High latency for players in the region.

I was never able to find a match due to being in Brazil, so I had to convince a friend to buy the game just to test it in a private room. The game limits you to playing either in private rooms or in public teams of up to 8 people. However, with so few players actually online—barely half a dozen at any given time—it’s nearly impossible to find a full team.

After spending 2 hours in the lobby and only managing 30 minutes of frustrating gameplay, I had to give up. Even if the game was free, it’s simply not worth the time or effort in its current state. You're better off skipping this one altogether.

There's potential here, but the execs that rushed this out the door massively fumbled the ball, and put out a subpar product that drove away most of the players.

Don't buy this now. Wait for more content to come out, and see if the population improves. Unless you really want to play single player in a game that was built around co-op.

Some of the worst melee combat I've had the misfortune of experiencing in any game. (even NRIH 1 included)
Sluggish, desyncy, mushy, non-responsive with enemies that tank trough your attacks, hit you facing the other way and have ungaugeable range....
The game looks like a UE4 game but for some reason runs on UE5 resulting in abysmal performance with no visual payoff at all. Shame. :c

This game has potential, and I'm excited to how far it goes. I find that the negative reviews neglect the "early access" part. Buying this is a risk. Its only like, twenty bucks. That being said, there's work to be done.

First of all, its ridiculous that core mechanics of the first game are missing in this one, such as being able to hold a charged attack when approaching an enemy.Especially when facing multiple foes, this was a great balance for melee combat. I also liked the ease of the original inventory wheel, being able to quickly switch between items and equipment, but maybe I'm just old school.

What would be an excellent addition to the game would be character customization, regardless of what traits we are given as a Responder. In fact, being able to select traits and skills to develop a play style would give us much more freedom.

Perhaps an armory as well, where we can select weapons to go into a lobby with some sort of credit system. ALL attachments and modifications should be available from the start for all weapons, save for "special" modifications that are unlockable through gameplay, but you should be able to purchase all of them from the menu using the same credit system. The more wins and supplies you gather, the more credits allotted to the Responder. This forces the player to think about what they'd want to bring according to the situation, personal play style and their budget. Same idea for equipment.

A map creator and editor down the road would open the community up to more maps. Good user generated maps, or even holding contests for map creations to be implemented into the main game could take a lot of pressure of the developers, and build a larger community. There are some other games that I play that do this, and public reception is always positive.

Finally, a good old fashioned survival mode would go over very well for many players!

These are just a few ideas I figured I'd throw out there to give feedback on how to improve this game and promote player freedom. But I digress, this is early access, and there's much to be done!

The fact that they think it's a good idea to continue selling this for $30 when it is a DRASTICALLY inferior product to an over 10 year old free Source Engine game is a slap on the face to consumers. Dead game, support will likely be pulled within less than a year. DO. NOT. BUY.

Bad game. They used UE5 so performance is bad. Combat is horrendous, Movement isn't great, Live service game and you can't play it by yourself so you might be waiting a long time to find a match. Can't believe it took so many years and THIS is what they release.

It seems you experience all of the game's content within the first couple of games. It feels like a single level from a longer campaign. It seems like a perfectly serviceable base that would benefit from open modding access and extensive multiplayer support, but for whatever reason it isn't there.

It's like if Garry's Mod had no multiplayer or mod support.

as is, it has a good atmosphere. it lags like hell though. has the feeling of nmrih 1 with the hopelessness, and the warbly sound effects they use.


That being said, that's about all it's got going on right now. Definitely feeling the early access in this one, but I'm seeing what it could be, and putting money down hoping it gets there. End of the day, I've played enough of the first not to feel upset about a few bucks to the devs.


TLDR: It isn't done, its 0.21. Don't expect polish atm, and personally to others, I'd wait till its completed.

too bad its not a party number scaling cuz if ppl starts leaving the difficulty stays and it screws you up even more

Classic Early Access scam from modern developers. Short, broken, and likely a project that will be abandoned due to lack of players and weak content.

Buyer beware. As of 12/18/24, you'll be paying $30 for one fairly large map with static missions scattered around fixed areas and points of interest on the map. In other words, you play this game once and beat the objectives, there's not enough meat on the bone to play it again.

The few players you'll session up with likely know the game well enough that you'll simply be chasing them around while they finish all the objectives for you.

It's literally a $30 proof of concept. Do not support this model.

There's a lot of review bombed games on steam and a lot of them don't deserve the reviews they get. This one deserves every thumbs down review you see on here.

Torn Banner, please stop doing this to your players.

Is this game buggy? Yes. Is it unplayable? No, Far from it, I mean would you put 7 hours into a game you didn't enjoy or have fun in? Cause I wouldn't and here I am, 7 hours deep into NMRIH 2. I understand the concerns from fans of the first game as I am a long-time player myself, but the uproar over bugs and the state of the game is incredibly damaging to the future of this game. Are there missing features that should have been included day one? Absolutely. Does this mean no one should ever play this game ever? No.

With all the reviews I have read and watched, I went into this game expecting it to be completely different than the first game. But when I actually played it, it felt extremely similar. The charged heavy attacks to the head hitbox, the shove mechanic, heavy emphasis on headshots only, etc. This game flows the exact same way the first game did with the exception that it is all on the same map and there are optional side objectives sprinkled about.

If you are on the fence, I whole-heartedly recommend giving it a shot with the expectation that you will encounter some bugs and glitches, and a lot of features that are still WIP.

Please if you ever do one thing in your entire life do not give these people your money, this is an awful product that's nowhere near completion. If you're looking for nostalgia look elsewhere, be warned. By the way, Torn Banner purged their ranks before last Christmas including the guy that literally composed the first game we all loved so much. Shame on whoever did that.

Buggy mess of a game, annoying range and hitreg of the zombies, sometimes you can see zombies spawn either behind your friend or if you do a 360° a few times yourself, you will see zombies spawn. Just like in the original game, but i understand that there is no real way to make the world feel more dangerous without spawning zombies right next to you.

Oh, you can also lose your character when you load into the game map/lobby for no reason, but it only happened when i was in a group with a friend.

Gameplay is solid, but only has a single map and gets repetetive quick. I'd still give it a shot if i were you, but maybe when the game would have more content and majority of bugs, like losing your level 50 character for no reason, would be fixed.

tentative thumbs up here...actual game review after this pre-note.

i dont have a ton of faith in torn banner, due to issues and 'scandals' involving chiv 2.
however, iirc the devs originally handling this game are the original NMRiH devs, and got absorbed into TB studios...
then TB had layoffs, but have said they're committed to the game still...and idk where the original devs are at, if they're all still there or not.

regardless, the core game is here, but its rather unpolished in alot of areas, the melee combat got an improvement but the hit reactions still dont line up with swings sometimes, grabs on zombies rarely get canceled if shoved or hit, enemies do a death animation that looks rather stiff and awkward, then after sitting there, half cliped into the ground, they unceremoniously ragdoll...

the spawning system ive heard issues with, and via spectating someone i just see so many runners now. in the original game runners were a bit more sparse, more like a special 'kill it now' kind of threat that can throw a wrench into your zombie dodging plans...now if you get 2 of them you can get locked up a bit with their melee swings...

or you can be like the guy i spectated and just run around and jump on things and sprint away and nothing could hit him, he ran all the way to the place with the valves in a big ring...more runners but he just sprinted in a circle and jumped to a platform and shot them, rinse and repeat.

so polish issues, AI issues, spawning issues....but i can FEEL the core here, the atmosphere, where they're going with it..the idea of starting seperate and converging on a goal, only to find only a few of you made it through 'the horrors' is a great concept, and should be innovated on...

but man there's alot of backend work that needs doing too...

id suggest only buying this game if you believe the dream, so to speak.

Stop with the stupid "It feels nothing like no room in hell" everybody who has put that review is very clearly nostalgia coping that a game years later has a different gameplay loop from their beloved childhood, no more room in hell was fun but it was not THAT great, people need to realize that yes there's going to be a different game here. The games actually pretty fun, is it difficult? yes, there's a learning curve, is it glitchy? a little, sometimes models of player don't spawn right but it doesn't affect anything and the private matchmaking requires you to alt f4 and reload the game after every match to actually load in with your friends but it loads fast after first launch so at max it takes 15 seconds inbetween games. the combat is slow and heavy and that's intended, it's like no more room in hell 1 in that way, learn to shove when they lunge watch your stamina and stop running everywhere without a gun to kill the inevitable 7 men in their underwear that are going to jump you. overall the games not perfect but its fun, its early access so there's going to be more added but there is plenty of stuff to do right now.

im going to make this very very clear, zombies have no business attacking me when i can see their whole arm and hand swing 3 feet away from me, and still damage me, that is what happens in this game ALL THE TIME its the only reason ive died, the range of these guys arms is insane and i cant play it because of that, nerf the zombies, and make them sound like actual zombies, they sound constipated, and the running zombie is just goofy, and i really really mean that, the running zombies are hilarious yet angering, cus yet again that long hit range you cant even juke them like in the first game, you need to shoot them before they reach you, no longer is the distance in any way realistic. ill try it with every update but if they got mr fantastics arm reach, im shelving it, hell if i could id just refund it, like thats happening.

This is not a NMRIH game, this is the metal gear survive but worse of the nmrih series.

Pros
Better lighting
Better graphics
Some sounds are better

Cons
Difficulty scaling is ruined with new updates - You get less ammo and have to deal with apparently x2-x4 of the runners

Jank spawning - Zombies will spawn around you in a style reminiensant to left 4 dead, but since this game requires strategy and thought to prevent being overrun and schwaked at higher levels of difficulty you will easily die trying to even attempt those side objectives let alone the main objective.

No inventory upon extraction - When you leave the game strips you of all your weapons which to me makes no sense, if i extract with a top tier m4 and a bunch of ammo and medical supplies why should i give it up and never get it back when the difficulty gets way higher the more i level up?

Infection - It being implemented right now with the difficulty setting messed up as it is, basically means you are going to get ganked by zombies and die even quicker then ever before. A good four man team might actually do some good in a run but trust me when i say, with the current entry system of not entering with your squad basically means chances are. 1-2 survivors are gonna be dead before your squad even groups up.

Guns feel weak - I hate that most weapons feel like peashooters against the dead, in NMRIH1 every weapon was viable if you knew what you were doing. But in this game if your not running a heavier weapon with a high capacity mag your basically doomed when it comes to dealing with anything more then one zombie.

Melee feels even weaker - In NMRIH1 your melee was a careful consideration as ammunition was scarce. But in this all the melee sucks something fierce, as almost all of them feel like your fighting with a wet pool noodle when your unleveled and are forced to hope and pray you get one of the god tier melee weapons to even consider touching the melee combat.

Some zombies too tanky - So the problem is red eyes exist they can be walkers or runners and crawlers, they will soak up all of your damage you can give and then some. Which basically means if you get a red eye runner your basically mag dumping their head hoping they drop so you don't run the risk of someone in your team getting infected.

The map - It's way too barron with so many zombies everywhere which makes no sense when you study any piece of zombie media with a fine tooth comb. Basically they set the spawn regions to be wack as shit as some places make sense. Highways and concentration of buildings would have lots of zombies or if you discharge a firearm then sure have a horde descend upon me. But why does a powerplant have billions of zombies spewing forth?

Amount of zeds - Way too many everywhere. It's almost like this powerplant was situated right in the middle of new york with how many zombies we need to deal with.

The feeling of entry and extraction - The game feels like a battle royale quickly re-engineered into a nmrih game due to how they have the entry into the map set up, while the extraction system even makes this feeling even worse due to having to WAIT FOR THE DANG CHOPPER TO ARRIVE AND THEN HAVING TO HOLD OFF THE HORDE.

In nmrih 1 holding off a horde was easy, runners went down easy and you could funnel the normal zombies with some clever choke points. but with this game's extract, your basically hoping and praying that no red eye's show up otherwise your hold off will quickly transition into the halo reach objective of "Survive"

Tornbanner in general - They laid off a huge chunk of the nmrih 1 team just before christmas, most likely due to their involvement with the game causing it to fail so harshly. The execs at torn banner most likely kept demanding it to be more similar to warzone or cod zombies mw3 (the open world one) and then kept gutting the project demanding reworks and then as the deadline drew nearer the dev team most likely was burnt out due to basically having to destroy their work of love (Look for older builds of nmrih 2 on youtube)

Basically think of it like this, If tornbanner just let the nmrih 1 devs cook with some extra staff and some bigger funding we would have gotten something way better than this. But due to their meddling and constant pushing and demands for a release (Probably also due to them having to actually spend more and more money due to their constant "changing of project goals and ideas").

Anyways. My rating is a smashing, 0/10.
It's terrible. not worth your money period. and should be studied for what NOT to do when making a game sequel while also saying "We are looking at your suggestions carefully".

I also think the original team should all get back together to make a new zombie ip that's basically nmrih 1 but way better.
But my sympathies also goes out to the laid off devs due to them being "Laid off" so close to christmas that it almost feels christmas.

Not a bad game, but needs a lot of work. A LOT OF WORK. Wish there was a option to give a neutral rating on here. If the developers keep working on it. The game will be very good. It needs more in-depth mechanics. Therefore I cannot recommend this game at this point in time.

Update: The game had a patch to fix in game issues. Zombies now spawn on top of you.....

The game has some truly unique ideas that are unfortunatly held back by the fact that they took it out of the oven to fast. Imagine you are at a christmas dinner, someone takes a half raw turkey out of the overn and slaps you into the face with it. You imagening it? That is how it feels to play this game. but im a sick fuck and can handle horrid Early acces jank. If you can handle that, its a damn cool game. if you're not into that i would wait a bit longer.

You just got Torn Banner'd...

Seriously though I had hope for this game and planned on coming back when the infection update drops but after hearing negative reception towards it and seeing the 2021 build that Lever Games had made there is no saving this game. Torn Banner has once again taken a game series beloved by many and shaped it into half assed slop. TB blatantly ignores community feedback and silences those who criticize them while they slowly sink into bankruptcy. Do not buy this game and do not play anything made by this studio because if they won't give their community the time to help them improve the game then they don't deserve our time and money on their games.

>requires constant internet connection to play. If you can't connect to their servers, tough luck, pal.
>requires at least a friend to play. You can't host a singleplayer lobby like in the original.

There's definitely no more room in hell, because of the amount of people that are sending the entire dev team over there with prayers.

You have perfect examples of this sort of stuff NEVER working out (Back 4 blood, Overkill's the walking dead, the list goes on) and somehow or another, an entire team of people with (supposedly) brains go for a recipe that always results in disaster. The mixed reviews on steam are there for a reason, and it shows.

I've been waiting for a match for 10 minutes. 10 MINUTES. Not even tarkov with their shitty matchmaking makes you wait that long. And to top it off, I've also been kicked out of the game several times due to their servers being down.

You pay for a game you can't even play. I cannot recommend this to anyone on it's current state.

My biggest problem is how u cant be sure ur going to load into a server in your region. all games i played were over 100 ping but some were as bad as high 200s. in a game where a single death can reset ur whole character this is a scary prospect.

From what little I have played (94 minutes at time of review) I've had 3 characters and managed to win 5 times, and now with private lobbies me and my friends have had a blast, if you enjoyed the first game you might not enjoy this one, it has ventured far from the original image but it's going in a good direction, I do hope people give this game a chance and give the developers actual input on the game.

The infection system is so bad. The game was better without it. some zombies are still buggy so u will get infected most games and its hard to find the cure. It makes the game not enjoyable. make that a separate game mode or remove it completely
