I also want to note I played the game mostly alone, so this review be aware that as a single player experience its incredible so dont let the main draw of coop turn you off from purchase, this is still top 5 zombie game even solo.

Sound design is MARVELLOUS and it really feels like you PIERCED a guy with a powerful arrow, a weapon that usually feels limp in other games.
