Night Of The Dead Review Cons:

• Not all menus support the controller and require a mouse and keyboard.
• Menus that do support the mouse are less than ideal with the right stick acting as a mouse.
• When picking up some items you do the animation and everything but the item doesn’t actually move.
• Has annoying mission criteria like reading the manual before this door opens.
• No way to change the text size in the game.
• A lot of broken English in the menu which can be hard to decipher at times.
• The story is fine but character interactions are plain and sometimes you don’t even get one, you just say join me and they say yes. That’s it!
• The physics can go crazy especially when hitting boulders and chunks of stone going flying everywhere.
• Hard to read the mission checklist as it clashes with the colors of the game a lot.
• You don’t get great feedback on your hits, you never know if you are doing something or how much health a zombie has.
• Weird animations in places.
• You get so little resources and materials from places like trees and boulders.
• A lot of menu surfing.
• Building two storage boxes next to each other doesn’t make one big storage box.
• A very slow starter.
• The opening tutorial missions are very basic and have you slowly plodding along.
