  • Five control layouts.
  • Two modes-  campaign and multiplayer.
  • The co-op campaign is online or offline.
  • Five difficulties, normal, hard, very hard, and insane.
  • Four chapters-New York, Jerusalem, Moscow, and Tokyo.
  • Quickplay option.
  • Plays like Left 4 Dead with improvements and additions.
  • Six playable classes-Gunslinger, Hellraiser, medic, fixer, slasher, and exterminator. Each class has unique load-outs, its own skill tree, and level.
  • Campaign locations and levels within them are available.
  • Gun customization-earn exp with each gun and buy unlocks like scopes, power, etc.
  • 3rd person view.
  • Multiplayer-quick match, swarm, domination, King of the Hill, swarm deathmatch, scavenge raid and vaccine hunt.
  • Party invites system.
  • End-of-level scorecard showing who did what and how many.
  • Each location has four characters to choose from.
  • Impressive on-screen zombie count. We are talking about what looks like 100s.
  • Solo play is you and 3 bots.
  • Has a ping system for loot and location.
  • Load out primary, side, heavy, and equipment.
  • Find guns and ammo in the game.
  • Breaching charge-hidden in levels and used to open bonus cargo crates.
  • The collection can look at all guns, locations, notes, and origin trailers for each character.
  • The base defense set pieces. Collect and deploy defensive weapons. You have a set preparation time.
  • Seriously intense.
  • Keep Exp on failed attempts.
  • The Multiplayer is 4v4 and has random zombie attacks.
  • When teammates die they come back as a zombie.
  • Story throughout.
  • Can replay levels.
  • Decent gun plays with each gun handling differently and overall has a tight responsive feel.
  • Swarm happens a lot and fills the screen with zombies. It takes their behavior from the film, they fall from buildings and form pyramids in order to scale walls.
  • On-screen objective markers.
  • Stealth is a legitimate tactic. Using melee or silenced weapons will stop zombies from attacking en mass.
  • Different zombie types like screamers that attract more zombies, lurkers that pin you, and gas zombies who umm gas you.
  • Zombies are fast runners.
  • Tense atmosphere.

World War Z Review Cons:

  • In-app purchases.
  • Exp does not save when you get a disconnect.
  • Can’t pause even in solo offline.
  • Bots are not very good at all.
  • Lines are constantly getting repeated.
  • Doesn’t show what levels you have done.
  • The slowdown in places.
  • Have to be really precise for interactions to work.
  • Levels feel short.
  • No private game options.
  • Can’t earn gun exp in online multiplayer.
  • 3rd person view can obstruct your view.
  • Afkers really ruin the game. More so due to how many group-up points are in a level.
  • Upgrades are slow and early on you can only have sights or power, not both.
  • A handful of blue screen crashes.
  • Needs more levels.
  • Doesn’t have friendly fire but your pals will constantly shout out about it and it’s tied to a trophy.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
