Summary

World War Z: Aftermath is the ultimate co-op zombie shooter based on Paramount Pictures’ blockbuster film, and the next evolution of the original hit World War Z that has now captivated over 15 million players. Turn the tide of the zombie apocalypse across consoles and PC with full cross-play. Join up to three friends or play on your own with AI teammates against hordes of ravenous zombies in intense story episodes across new zombie-ravaged locations around the world: Rome, Vatican City and Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula.

All-new story episodes in Rome, Vatican City, and the Russian far east at Kamchatka. Play as both new and returning characters as you take the fight to the undead with a brutal new melee system, decimating zekes with unique moves, perks and dual-wield weapon options like the sickle and cleaver. Fend off new undead monstrosities, including swarms of flesh-hungry rats that will unleash total chaos on your team.

Storyline

Across New York, Moscow, Jerusalem, Tokyo, Marseille, and now Rome, Vatican City and the Russian far east, the undead apocalypse continues to spread. In-game Zombie Hordes behave like real crowds, getting stuck in narrow corridors and climbing on top of each other to reach players on higher levels. Hordes become increasingly more difficult to defeat and behave like single entity bosses as players progress through the game.

I am up on this game, it fixes many of the short falls of the original WWZ game of the franchise, and does a good job of claiming that L4DI am up on this game, it fixes many of the short falls of the original WWZ game of the franchise, and does a good job of claiming that L4D vibe without being L4D in detail. I find it a much better spiritual sequel to L4D and Black 4 Blood which lost the emersion experience with all that card drawing mumbo jumbo. I feel there is a little too much RPG element to the game, makes it a bit more overwhelming in terms of complicating the load outs, characters, etc. Making this game a solid 8.5

It's been a long time since I had so much fun playing a game. Recently I had so much fun playing Dead By Daylight about 2 years ago. ThisIt's been a long time since I had so much fun playing a game. Recently I had so much fun playing Dead By Daylight about 2 years ago. This game rocks and I want to come back to it all the time. So far I'm only playing the campaign, with one friend + two bots. Bots can be disabled in private network mode. The campaign is great. Each act is divided into several episodes. Beautiful landscapes and polished maps. Incredibly huge hordes of zombies to kill. Even bigger than those in Days Gone. And this climate. And what's really cool is the lot of randomness in the game. Sometimes you have to approach the episode several times because it is difficult (we play on level 3 of difficulty 5 - at the beginning I recommend playing on level 1, even if you have already played some FPS), but thanks to the randomness, each episode can surprise you every time. Highly recommend! Fantastic game. P.S. By default, private network mode uses an external server. I recommend enabling the local server option (less ping in my case).

I like the game enough to recommend it : It's good and the shooting is enjoyable : COULD have been an 8 !BUT I - L O A T H -I like the game enough to recommend it : It's good and the shooting is enjoyable : COULD have been an 8 !BUT I - L O A T H - the creative direction of it! The story and characters are dull, and the story text book! I dont rate the music- I turn it off.So I would knock it down to a 7.The rpg aspect is enjoyable - I felt reasonably balanced(i think)though - and that goes with the weapons and shooting.Maps are decent too!There are also dynamics to fights where turrets and other defenses can be placed , as well as drops that boost your xp points, amongst other things...I have also had problems with servers, had some players ruin sessions.Game-engine optimisation issues have also dropped my frame rate at times.

El juego es bueno, cumple decentemente con su objetivo que es pasar el rato, no esperes que este sea el gran juego de zombies, que no lo es,El juego es bueno, cumple decentemente con su objetivo que es pasar el rato, no esperes que este sea el gran juego de zombies, que no lo es, es como una expansion del WWZ, creo que en base es algo mejor que B4B, a nivel de mecanica y progresion en el juego, pero creo que no llegara a ser un juego perfecto de zombies o un juego tan memorable como lo fue L4D 1 o 2 en su momento, como dije antes, para jugarlo con amigos en coop unas cuantas partidas esta perfecto pero termina siendo algo repetitivo y en algunas partes diria que o es un problema de traduccion o el señalamiento de objetivos es muy ambiguo, por ejm cuando dice protege tal cosa, Ok, estas ahi protegiendo y de pronto te sale el cuadro que fallaste , y no te enteraste de donde o que paso, como dije son detalles que arruinan la experiencia pero no matan la jugabilidad, dudo que lo arreglen, asi que sera algo con lo que se conviva.

Simply look at what comes with Aftermath; the two new maps and new class are clearly the highlight and while it runs better on the latest hardware, the asking price seems a little steep for what’s added. Granted, core players can upgrade for about half price ($25.99 CAD), if you’ve previously played World War Z before and was wondering if the latest DLC is going to be enough to change your mind from its repetitive design and grind, Aftermath might be an afterthought. Even so, it’s always fun to fight against a swarm, hoping to survive against hundreds of zeke’s.
