World War Z

Anyone with a gaming handheld like the rog ally X, rog ally z1e, legion go, & steam deck please do not purchase this game unless you have a mouse & keyboard on standby. your handheld controller will not be detected no matter what you do 🙂.

my buddy and I bought this game because it looked fun. Upon playing it this game basically reminds my buddy & I of L4D2 just slapped with a World War Z title. I was not disappointed in the gameplay but upon downloading this for my ROG ALLY X and Steam deck… the controller inputs DO NOT WORK NO MATTER WHAT I DO and I’ve already invested 3-4 hrs INTO trying to find a solution with no luck. Many people report this has been an issue since 2021.

It’s 2025, 3-4years after the release of their game and you’re telling me you haven’t fixed it yet? Lazy I say!

This is one of those rare shooters that somehow captures it all...I'm not saying it's flawless, but those are few and it just feels so damn good to slay some Zombie freaks with my homies on about every other evening at this point...Much much obliged to WWZ and all those responsible for such a masterpiece! Enjoy!

7pm on a Saturday and matchmaking refuses to pair me with anyone. That combined with the brain dead AI teammates you're stuck with make this a hard pass. A shame, since it was fun on consoles when I played a few years ago.

the game is very good but the last 2 episodes being separate dlcs is not a good choice just pack every episode in the aftermath dlc

Bought this game on sale and I say I got my money worth. The campaign is fun to play and present mechanic that are interesting to work with. Such as silenced weapons, zombie horde pyramid, and defenses. The class and weapon levels are the progression system that can help you play harder levels to grind for which is a nice goal to work toward.
However, for this game, it is recommended to play with friends or random. The ai-teammates are unreliable to help you get through the levels on hard and their level are default to starter levels. Which means you will struggle to solo most levels without proper knowledge and preparation. The level grind is tedious but can be beneficial to you and your team if you are high enough level.
In short, it's a good game for friends and randoms. Recommend you get the whole package (Aftermath DLC) for full experience because you can only play half the story with the base game.
You can still play horde mode and XL mode without dlc.

World War Z is really fun game to play, especially with this good gameplay, Classes, Weapons and more, the zombie hordes are massive which makes it good and not to get bored while playing

World War Z is a pretty generic zombie horde shooter with a bare bones storyline to keep you motivated to jump from map to map, episode to episode, and a somewhat lackluster upgrade menu for weapons and unlocking cosmetics. That being said, with a group of four friends and at a discounted price, it's definitely a fun good time to just mow down massive waves of undead, watching their limbs fly off in all directions and leaving behind piles of corpses you can climb over, all while feeling like an ultimate apocalypse bad ass. Mind you, this game REQUIRES friends to play with, as the AI teammates are basically only as useful as a toddler would be in this scenario.

A very cool toy, as for me. Yes, there are small shortcomings and bugs, but personally they do not bother me. I purchased a free distribution, I liked it so much that I bought an addition. The money spent is not sorry. This is my first ...
Advantages: beautiful graphics, cool aesthetic characters, game dynamics. Unpredictable Timmates, which sometimes lifts the mood if you are easier to life. Foreigners, you can tighten English.
Disadvantages: I would like more missions. And a few more cards on the defense. Some bugs in the game and flaws.

this is by far the worst experience I've ever had, spent money to play the game and the game couldnt connect to the server for 3 days

Complete garbage, got it to play with a friend and we both got bored in just 3 hours. Keep playing a little more but the game just fucking sucks. It's like it tries to be a l4d2 but without the fun and with all the bullshit that l4d2 have. Don't play this bs even if you got it for free. Worst than malware.

Game will NOT stop crashing and me and the wife have the same computer unit and hers runs fine. Game severs suck.

Good game ruined by tremendously cancerous bad AI teammates, trash hit registry and braindead enemy AI that has 0 consistancy and instantly downs you from full hp in 1 hit for no reason across the entire map

Need more skin for characters like Ed Stone and others .

+This game similar to L4D2 but the graphics look better and more sneaky , beefy enemies .

+Easy to learn skills , upgrades .

Game is fun when it works but it has way too many bugs. I've played it for a few months, and I've heard from others that some bugs has been there for years and the developers just never got around to fix them. I bought aftermath - the 3 new episodes are not bad. However, could not convince myself to buy the remaining DLC even how buggy the game is.

still fun to play, eventough the server kinda suck. But, if u play it with your friends and just having fun, it still worth a play

This is really, a lot of fun. Reminds me of Left 4 dead. Can't get enough. I grabbed it at a discount, so worth it.

I really like zombie-themed games and this game is simply a masterpiece in this regard!

its fun atleast, you can play single player or multi player, but my Pc computer crashed 3 times under 2 hours while playing single player

here's the experience:
* the server is always problematic, can't even connect to play in public or private
* bugs are not fixed: bots don't shoot, episode 1 always has 1 player who dies when starting the game, stuck here and there
* what's the point of buying a game that can't even connect to the server? I mean the server is very unstable
* what else? DLC for jumping moves?

game seems good but i wanted the option to play solo in addition to multi, but it crashes on alt-tab, it doesn't pause when you change focus in solo, and the bots are absolutely braindead useless and easily the absolute worst i've ever seen in any co-op game like this

Great game but the bots are just about utterly fucking useless. Seriously the AI can't even handle basic difficulty you're basically playing alone. Requires friends.

The AI was doing good at launch, now it's total garbage. If you plan to play solo, forget this game.

Update: Extinction mode was a free DLC and has a weekly map rotation. But if the rotation includes only other DLC maps like the Zeke one, then you basicly cant play it that week.. Nice game design.

This is one of the best zombie games I have ever played, in terms of gameplay it is also very good.

Consistently crashed at the end of each mission. Would sometimes allow completion of one mission but several times would crash multiple times in the same mission and have to rejoin lobby when playing with friends. Great game and would love to be able to play it if possible.

A large campaign, interesting and varied maps/settings, with fun class and weapon progression. A good time with a group or solo.

It's an adrenaline-inducing game, and even on easy, you'll have a hard time. I refunded it because I knew it'd be free on Epic, and my hunch was right.

they keep breaking the ai with updates. Zombies spawning in front of you, AI teammates not shooting the zeke, bad hitreg. I loved this game when it released for xbox but over the years it's turned into buggy slop. there's better games out there if you need to scratch that itch. this one isn't worth the headache.

The game is very good but its hard to kill special zombies and tghe story are very short even the bots in your team doesnt even know how to shoot and when you are down and there are over 1k zombies around the bots instead of focusing to kill the zombies they revives you instead of focusing,they cant even get better.

20000 people used to play wwz multiplayer,now its a gohst town-Bred Pit
Horde mode is fun and you can find match very fast

World War Z can be described as the game that did so many things right, yet forgot to really create compelling reason for the player to keep playing. This is a game that is clearly inspired by Left 4 Dead, but unlike the original zombie coop shooter, this game really fails to live up to the epic gameplay that it needs to really have.

Special enemies for instance don't really divide and conquer a team, rather they just apply brute force to it. Sure the Lurker or Bull might pin a player down, requiring a teammate to help; assuming said player doesn't have some skill to alleviate the problem themselves. The Infector might spit on you, causing you to have to focus on disinfecting yourself, and the Gasbag might deny you an area to work in. Most of the other specials though are about buffing the horde (Screamer and Booster) and causing massive damage or discord if not dealt with (Bomber and Juggernaut).

Then there is the Rat Pack. I guess that could be described as this games version of the Witch, but they aren't as creative, and you can't sneak past them usually. There really isn't any sort of 'Tank' type enemy to deal with either, making the game feel like it lacks a boss like encounter that Left 4 Dead had.

This also feels like a game that requires a lot of investment to really get to the good stuff too. Most of the classes and weapons in this game require upgrades to get the best out of them, meaning a lot of slogging through missions to get those perks. You won't really be able to properly experience a class or weapon until you do the work prior.

Overall, I wasn't impressed with this game. It reminds me heavily of those games in the 1990s and 2000s that were there to take some IP and just make a game from it. It does have a lot of the nice modernties that gamers would want from a game, but it just doesn't have the good gameplay of the classics that goes with it.

The Bots are the biggest thing that make this game less than enjoyable. They hang back and let you trigger everything, then get preoccupied with zombies when you are downed. They are constantly trying to position 2 feet from you, if not in your player model. They pass in front of you incessantly, soaking up bullets then complaining. They announce special enemies but, don't do anything help full about them. The Bots all stick to a singular player and at random terrible times swap to another, abandoning one player to a mob. Valve really set a high bar, when they made Left For Dead 2.

This game is one of the most repetitive games I have ever played. It always goes like this, STEALTH, BIG HORDE, STEALTH, SMALLER HORDE, QUEST, END. Sure it can be fun at some moments, but I cant handle the same thing every damn level. 4/10

Fun game the normal campaign is similar to Left For Dead but you can choose from classes and is rpg.
The Horde mode is like Nazi Zombies but you have classes you can choose from and is also rpg. If you like either of the two games I do recommend this game.

i give the game 7/10 - it would been 9/10 if

they make the characters different heights so all aren't the same height.

make weapon customization better.

add more weapons.

add a communication wheel instead of tapping buttons.

add a scroll to switch weapons.

add more/better perks.

make so Bull And Juggernaut doesn't have a big radius of their charge and take corners like a race car.

and etcs.

Great co-op zombie game with massive swarms, good game mechanics and optimization.

Fun co-op zombies game to play with the boys. I love the swarm mechanics and personally I prefer it over Left 4 Dead, just wish my gaming gang would play it more.

Good Graphics smooth game play even on low end PC. Would definitely recommend

the game is good but it lacks player like it takes a few minutes to be matched with other players and the worst part it, some players leave midway of a game or will leave in the middle of a horde like seriously? left 4 dead is scarier thank this if you ask me specially if a tank is coming towards you. i got startled if a lurker suddenly jumped at me but everything else is meh. not scary but still its fun. hope you fix the part where i will matched up immediately with other players the moment i click the match

If you just want to shoot zekes like a madman, here's your games especially horde mode. I like also the fact that you need some stealth here as loud noises from guns will definitely attract zombies. Just a warning as well, some new players may get overwhelmed by the classes but it's ez to understand. Another thing is if you're feeling off, it's probably you just need to have like a feel of the game. Try easy mode to get the hang of it. If it's still the same, it's probably not the game for you. I'm having fun with this game as I'm playing with my buddies. OVerall, game's great imo

i love zombie shooting games and this has to be one of the best games to ever exist on the face of the earth

World War Z delivers a thrilling co-op zombie shooter experience, blending intense action with large-scale undead hordes. Inspired by the movie, the game features fast-paced combat, diverse character classes, and a variety of missions across different global locations. The AI-driven swarm mechanics create chaotic and cinematic battles, keeping every encounter fresh and unpredictable.

However, while the core gameplay is engaging, some maps are locked behind DLCs, which can feel restrictive for players looking for a complete experience. Despite this, World War Z remains a solid choice for fans of cooperative shooters and zombie survival games.

very good game with awesome graphics

I played this game when I had no motivation and I was in a bad mood and I started killing zombies. It made me feel better and the game is simple. Much better if you play with friends.

need more player in pvp mode, sadly it's really long to queue the match :(

Fun co-op horde game, and we don't have many of those! If you like Vermintide or Left 4 Dead, maybe Back 4 Blood, you'll like World War Z. It's very simple to get into and can dial up to a satisfying challenge at the highest difficulties with modifiers.

Performance is buttery smooth on all ultra settings for me with a 4060. Runs like a 2006 game but with insane horde density and great textures and animations. Feels highly optimized.

Great variety of weapons and character appearances. Not a ton of cosmetic alternatives for each character.

Melee-focused playstyle is actually viable. Woohoo! I get tired of shooters and always want melee gameplay. There's a bunch of melee weps to use here. It's not a rich melee system with parries or lights/heavies, sadly, but it's got smooth combo chaining reminiscent of Arkham and Assassin's Creed combat.

You WILL need a High End GPU to play this game. There's too many zombies for the GPU to calculate and run smoothly. I love the game with all its glitches. Highly recommend it.

It's a fun game. If it's on sale, absolutely grab it. If it's not? It's worth it if you want a different co-op zombie horde shooter to play. But you're far better off waiting for a sale tbh.

10/10 graphics

If you enjoy Left 4 Dead and games like it you are going to have fun with this.
Its the same concept 4 survivors either in single player or co-op fighting through a ton of zombies
It has a ton of guns along with a perk upgrade system and classes
runs smooth and plays nice
no story really to speak of its just like L4D in just kill a bunch of zombies move to the goal and repeat
has the same class of zombies L4D had like the tank and some other variation of he others
I do like that they made it so the tank isnt hear as spongey and takes a 2000 rounds to put down
You do get a great number of zombies charging at you at once which is really nice
worth a pick up if this kind of game is your jam

casual zombi shootter, good co-op exp. I will get DLC maps for future to continue playing. some functions (turrets, traps, fences are designed to be installed static by developer). SO IF you are looking open world and open mind way of playing this has some issues with that. Otherwise good casual game for few evenings.

I haven't played many hours and I have only played solo, so my experience may be unique. Though from what I have played it feels like there's too much focus on gun and class progression, which feels way too slow. You're also locked on the amount of XP you can gain on each gun until you level it up with credits you earn from completing levels, slowing the progression down even more.
Objective has pretty much only been stand and defend points, making the maps all feel the same.
