There is a good amount of content here and the gameplay is fun. My only real complaints are that the game can be a pain to play solo, the class perks don’t always make a lot of sense, and the points grind won’t be a fun time for people who don’t want to move the difficulty mode up as their characters level up.

World War Z’s story was, and remains, a background element whose task is to move the player from episode to episode. Aftermath’s two new episodes are set in interesting environments, and the game’s additions and fixes will be welcome to those returning to World War Z as well as to those just starting out. The first person mechanic has potential but remains incomplete, and the new Vanguard likewise might appeal to those wanting to level a new class. Like the base game, Aftermath sans human players might not be a hard pass, but it isn’t the experience the developers intended. With some friends, or at least competent random homo sapiens, World War Z Aftermath provides a unique take on a familiar enemy and does a great job of translating the terror-inducing swarm of zombies mechanic from film to videogame.

With its deep progression system, vast array of locations and classes, World War Z Aftermath is an excellent play for anyone looking to shoot up some zombies with their friends.

Single player is worthless with a stupid AI and limited repeated content. World War Z is based on a book (there was also a movie with Brad Pit) but unfortunately in this game there is no real story the game feels more like an arena shooting game with stages made specifically for multiplayer. It's a very shallow experience from the single player perspective. Very disappointed so far since i have read the book.

don't matter the version from the game, the game is unic and a very good zombies shooter, I think than this game deserve a GOTY, is better than other zombies shooters how days gone and left for dead, I think is one of the better games in the history, it was a really good game than even has a movie and the history is amazing

It's no Left 4 Dead, but it's a decent zombie game with quite a few issues. AI teammates are pretty worthless. ex: lurker (hunter) leaps at you and have a 99% chance on landing on you even though they should have missed. They fly through doors and will also fly backwards and land on you. The Bull or Juggernaut turn at angles when charging and also bounce off stuff and get you even though they shouldn't be able to. Enemies will spawn right on top of you as well. Zombie hit range is ridiculous, they will hit you when they are nowhere near you. Bugs such as the gate opening and then closing on you when you are trying to escape the last part of the map (Tech Support), and (Brain Surgery) where the npc will teleport back get overrun but you can't save him because you can't climb back to that area and you lose.

Minor annoyances aside, WWZ: Aftermath is fun, replayable, and challenging. As an added bonus, current WWZ owners can upgrade for $19.99 instead of paying the full $39.99 and carry over their progression and other save data. Overall, World War Z: Aftermath is a refined and replayable experience that offers a slew of content for half the price of its competitors.

Overall, World War Z: Aftermath is a great team-based shooter, and if players have been waiting for the game to be significantly updated before checking it out, the time is now. Likewise, anyone who played at launch will find that this revamp is well worth a second tour of duty against the undead.

Aftermath evolves World War Z in some major ways that brought a smile to my face. Kamchatka is a stellar new episode and the improved melee options and first-person mode are great quality-of-life improvements, but there are still issues with online play, barely any attempt at storytelling, and bizarre design choices (such as a lack of aiming down sights in first-person mode) that are huge disappointments. Even so, blasting my way through countless zombies still has lasting charm, and Aftermath makes World War Z better than it has ever been.

World War Z Aftermath is a solid expansion to the game. While the new chapters felt disjointed between sections, the new chapter mechanics brought in a challenging element to our zombie slaying fun.

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. 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).

Me aburrió bastante pero el tema de que haya muchos zombies esta muy bien y ni me imagino si lo jugas con conocidos o amigos, sería tremendo y muy divertido pero si buscar un juego de historia este no es el que estás buscando
