This is hands down one of the best zombie games I've ever played. The setting is incredible, the characters are memorable. And the combat feels good. Plenty of weapons, abilities, and more than once, I was caught out at night, took shelter in a home, and thought, I could stay here until morning. Oddly comfy. The second game didn't hit the same.

However, as my curiosity was rising, fear was decreasing. As went deeper, I imagened how great and unique this game is, and how much efforts and creativity team put in it. After 100 hours that includes main plot, all sides quests and "The following" chapter, I should say, it deffinitely worth it. What should I mention: 1) Unlimited parkour system (jump from one place to another in various ways, not limited by the building shape); 2) Weapon variety (hard to count, but about 20 types with hundreds for subtypes) 3) Attaching improvements to weapong (customize weapons as you like)l 4) Large locations (both Slums and Old city are huge, and have a lot of places to explore); 5) Tons of non-standard side quests (hundreds of NPC's have interesting non-template quests that make game interesting); 6) Night mode (making adrenaline in your body rise, even after 100 hours); 7) Buggy riding in "The following" chapter; 8) Random events that pops out near you; 9) Online Co-op mode: 10) Great optimization. It is so great, that I have no idea, what should be fixed or added. Good job Techland.
