Left 4 Dead 2

I only got into Left 4 Dead 2 recently, and I totally get why it still has such a massive community. The gameplay’s super simple to pick up but gets really intense, especially when the special infected show up. What surprised me the most was the Workshop—there’s a ton of custom maps and weapons, so it never feels repetitive.

Even though it’s an older game, it doesn’t feel outdated at all when you’re in the middle of a run with friends.

[93/100]

This game is very cool, perfect for those of you who want to play with your friends while shaking your stomach hahaha. Btw this game is quite affordable, you don't need to spend a lot of money just to play games with your friends.

best game for modes
you can download mods for zombies wepons carecters and many more good game

fck the german version.
steam should stop being a bitch for the corrupt banana republic germany and just release things uncensored. even with uncut patch, can i connect with my friend in america?? this shit is beyond dumb.

This game is old and dumb. You just shooting into zombies and this is incredibly boring even for cooperative.

Storyline: is even not zero out 10, it's just "null".
Gameplay: 2/10.
Graphic: I don't care about grafic, mostly, but eah this is old too.

this game is fun you can you to your hearts content 10/10 great game nicoals cage is a funny guy

Game itself is already good, but the workshop and its mods just make it even better and funnier
MASSIVE improvement from l4d1

I LOVE GETTING VOTED BY SWEATY GOONTARDS WHO HAVE 1K HRS WOOOOOOO jokes aside tho game is awesome versus takes some time getting used to

Huh? This a zombie horror shooter game, you said? Never have heard it. This just a game about 4 anime girls or something run and gun bunny hop all the way and slay any ugly mfs that dare to move with their goofy ahh-looking weapons

One of the most addicting First-Person Shooter Co-Operative experiences I ever played back during the XBOX 360 days. Left 4 Dead 2 is great to play with friends & the modding community is what gives this game even more life than ever before & still maintaining good player numbers on Steam to this day & deservingly so. I highly recommend it it's genuinely a good fun time & an all-time classic. Still hope one day Valve can greenlit a Left 4 Dead 3.

Also, it depends on your choice but there's really no point in buying the original Left 4 Dead 1 as Left 4 Dead 2 includes both Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 bundled together. Left 4 Dead 2 has more content compared to the original first game unless you want an original experience.

Also, watch out for Toxic players, keep your friends close & aware when playing together online.

this game is so underrated compared too many new games and super fun especially in multiplayer

genuinely the only valve game ive played where the community doesnt allow prevalent raceism, on top of addictive gme play and amazing environmental story telling. ive been playing since it first released on disk on the 360 and i still play today

This game is very fun, especially with friends and mods

i have autism about this game so badly that i had to buy it on steam after only owning it on xbox360 as a child. so i could accurately watch the hours accumulate. i love left 4 dead

Made it so I can play as Sam (from Sam and Max). Made it better. Game itself is good too.

Endless amount of fun, especially since you can spice up the game however you like thanks to the plethora of mods suited to each and every person's taste. Every mode has its own charm and depth, you can grind on whichever one fits you the most, or switch it up whenever you're bored. I met a lot of nice people who gave me tips on how to improve and make my time playing even more enjoyable. You'll no doubt meet some trolls, griefers, and/or toxic people along the way - the "Block All Communications" button will be your friend - just block them and move on.

its a great game, easily moddable, and has a gameplay loop that keeps me coming back to it. wish they would update this to 64 bit, though.

In this game you dont have to fear zombies you have to fear your fucking teammates :D. Every time you make your way to the chocolate helicopter and run into horde of zombies its not them you should be afraid of but your stupidass teammates who might mistake you for one of these brain-eaters and unload an entire SPAS magazine into you. Nothing compares to this not Keiths stories and not pills jokes.

L4D2 можно описать так:
Играешь кампанию - убивает танк
Играешь версус- убивает танк
Играешь мутацию - убивает танк
Играешь выживание - убивает танк
Играешь реализм - убивает тиммейт

РЕКОМЕНДУЮ!

I remember when I played this game on xbox with my sister when I was a kid, we thought it was so awesome and we wondered how far zombie games would have come 15 years laters. Well, here we are 15 years later and for better or for worse left 4 dead 2 is still arguably the greatest co-op zombie game we have to this day.

One reason I think this game has stood the test of time is because of the core gameplay mechanics. The ways the enemies are designed as well as where and when they spawn makes it a dynamic experience with variations in pacing that make the levels feel unique each time. This is also aided by the level design, which must have been done by some really talented people at Valve.

Another reason why I think this game has stood the test of time is the main characters. I was always more of a l4d2 guy, since that was the first one I played, but the l4d1 cast still has its charm. The dialogue and voice acting in this game is gold tier. L4d2 is probably one of the funniest games out there in my opinion. The voice lines change up with each play-through, so there are still always moments when the characters will surprise and delight me with their funny quips.

The last reason why people still play this game is because of the community. There are tons of mods to really spice up the experience as well as custom campaigns. There are still always plenty of people playing online to join and enjoy a little co-op experience. It's nice how you can quickly join a game in progress, jump right into the action, and then leave whenever you want, or help your team finish out the game. So you can have all kinds of fun with random people on the internet. Of course, there is still the toxic side of the community. It is unfortunate. but there are a lot of sweats on this game that will boot less experienced players. This game is really frozen in 2009 it seems, so you can expect old school banter that would shock the kids today. There aren't really any safeties against trolls besides voting to kick them, so there are occasional griefers and voice spammers. But there are still tons of chill people that play this game so just leave the lobby and find a nicer one. Just don't turn into one of them. Also, there have been DDOS attacks in the past which basically means you'll just be playing one day and then suddenly the server just freezes and you're fucked. Yeahhhh I don't know maybe somebody just really sucks at this game and decided they needed to fuck with the whole community I guess. Or they think they're joker and they have a vendetta against the people for trolling him so hard.

Anyway, fuck you if you won't buy this game for like $3.

nostalgic asf but playing online is crazy LMAOOO its just full of kids trying to speedrun and "troll" also was traumatized by an 18+ furry spray keep me in your thoughts

Lots of fun to play with friends while on a call with them, also very terrifying at times. The amount of times I have been jump scared is crazy. Frustrating if you have to restart the level over and over and over again, but it is still fun regardless. Each redo of the same level is somewhat different in regards of which zombies show up where than the last, which makes it not so repetitive at least. There are many different game modes you can play, even as the zombies themselves! You'll be able to use the zombies' abilities too. Overall, I recommend this game. 9/10.

amazing, amazing, amazing. truly ahead of its time. pls gaben make a third

I got hours of fun playing and countless mods to enhance it even further

10/10 absolute masterpiece would bust to this again, childhood game, happy playing then and happy playing now. mods add a fun spin to it too. i hate the chargers tho, theyre booty cheeks to run into when ur near the edge

One of the best games of all time. A true co-op classic, I remember skipping school the morning this game came out and playing it all day long. But the #1 feature of the game and what has truly kept it kicking after all these years is the community workshop.

Valve -> Great company!
However, choosing to include the bug-infested terrible community-made Last-stand into the main game was one of their worst decisions and makes me question their competence to some extent which is surprising given that they are immaculate when it comes to Steam and such.

For the record: Every single time we have played last stand in the past week, we never got the rescue. We always filled all the cans all at once, you can argue thats whats causing the bug sure. This bug should not exist in the first place.

*joins versus game*
*team speedruns the map with bhop and aimbot scripts*
*gets kicked for being too slow*
would play again

Literally the best game ever created I lvoe this game I love to play with all my buddies and I love to shoot the zombies everyone should play this game

Amazing Co-Op game in this price range. The game mechanism is simple to understand, but the missions are pretty interesting. Every zombie makes a specific noise and has a specific ability, which makes this even more fun to play. Definitely recommend it!

i played this game with my friend.. this is so fun when you play with friend... if you need to go offline in the middle of the game, you can use the "take a break" feature.. that mean an AI can play for you.. totally it is a good game to try

the actual system requirements seem to be higher than specified. also there's no point in getting this if you don't have any friends ready.

Excellent game on its own with a wide range of campaigns to play and other gamemodes, mods are very well made as well considering how active the modding community is. I highly recommend buying

this game is very fun but its not as fun as it used to be i think its because the workshop just gives you too much freedom it is still a very good game

love the gameplay, the funni mods, and i would absolutely recommend it to friends and possibly family

Started playing LFD2 on PC only awhile ago, yet I have countless hours on the Xbox 360, I have many good memories on both platforms. Amazing storyline, creative characters with personality. Each map has its own atmosphere, from harsh rain, to muddy swamps. This game also has very realistic detail and dialogue. The survivors slowly lean closer to each other, watching their backs in the worst of situations. One of the best games I’ve played.

This game is actually really fun and pretty cheap, recommend playing it with friends. You can even get custom mods and maps to make it really fun

still very active player base & easy to download mods

This game is GREAT, Left 4 Dead 2 lived WAY past it's lifespan, and that's because the developers behind the game CARE. Since the game's release in 2009, Left 4 Dead 2 received many updates to make sure the players are happy, and each update was free. It is 2025, and I STILL have a lot of fun playing this game, especially when I play it with friends. Each level feels like a movie, and you are the actor, and it is up to YOU to survive and not die until the end of the level. I give this game a 10/10 ( BACK 4 BLOOD could NEVER )

synergy, with zombies! but with no wide workshop support. It keeps saying "download campaign unknown_name", while we both are subscribed at the same big collection of mods & maps.... so be sure to limit the mods, or disable them if error occurs.

this game left me to died. its a scary game with much zombies. bomber, tank, witch, basic. combinations multiple. recomend this game to my friends all time.

🎯 Rating: 9.3/10

Zumbi pra caralho, atirei em um carro e do nada tomei uma pedrada na cabeça de um tank que estava do outro lado do bagulho. Mas o jogo é mt bom pra passar o tempo e jogar com os amigos. Recomendo mt

Amazing experience in gun game with lot of planning and cooperative game and i have played this in hard mode and that make this game more interesting.
Recommended game for all.
In general you find it hard but as you get through it with planning you will love it.

This game should be a mandatory to buy when you download Steam, an amazing, fun and limitless (thanks to community) game. With 15 years old this game has a solid base of players that means you'll have people to play with everytime.

still to this day the most casual and fun co-op shooter ever made, no matter what always guaranteed to have a blast hopping in with your bros and shooting the shit together

and it's moddable to fuck too, any minor inconvenience can just be removed and you can easily make mod packs to share as a collection

SPECIAL shoutouts to the team psykskallar aesthetics mod for making the game look so insanely good https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3260067578

10/10 game

Perfect game. This game can basically never be improved, especially with the mod scene.

Back to play in 2025, this game got old quite well.
Graphics do their job and you an easily play with 100fps.
Maps are very well designed.
I recommend to play 4vs4 or 2vs2 as it is quite fun to play also with special zombies
