  • Summary: It has been 5 years since the outbreak, giving rise to a post-apocalyptic nightmare with 95% of the human race wiped out. To survive, you'll require food, weapons, and other supplies. Some of you will scavenge as you negotiate the terrain, others will be forced to fight for survival as they encounter zombies and other players. Every decision has an effect on whether you live or how quickly you meet your death.… Expand

    A prime example of a game that oversells and underdelivers.

    If you're even slightly tempted, just remember that at the maelstrom's core is a very basic and ugly game made by a company that is both dishonest and incompetent. Combining disgraceful ethics with endemic failures of design, The War Z is a real disaster.

    The War Z is a total disaster. The worst zombie game ever made.

    Mr. DickFace approves of this game as Mr.Dickface loves the **** games in the world. Having played this game for 1 hour my friend committed suicide by tying his dick to his hard drive and jumping into a volcano just to make sure the abomination of a game was eradicated from his pc and memory. So if you like warm lava filled mountains, buy this game! If you value your life, don't!… Expand

    This game has a TON of potential. And when you find a game without hackers and play with a friend you can have a lot of fun. However right now, the Devs (through unprofessionalism) and hackers are destroying the game. Not to mention the Devs are a PR nightmare. Building the game on the engine of another game, stealing artwork from other sources (The Walking Dead). Acting like spoilt children on the forums. Random bans for no reason. Straight up lying about game features (all screen shots on the website are fake and do not represent the game at all). Fact is, this game could be really great. But the devs need to start acting like honest professionals and not snake oil salesmen with a bad attitude. And they need to fix the biggest problems with the game, namely the BS nickel and dime transactions and the hackers.… Expand

    Do not purchase this game. Many features listed on Steam are completely missing. The price was reduced to less than $15 in order to squeeze as much money from the game before it dies. I repeat: do not purchase this game, you will not get what you think you are getting. Just look at the War Z forums to see the problems.… Expand
