Gameplay

My overall thumb’s up is because of the overwhelming positive factors I have experienced as opposed to the few unfavorable aspects in the gameplay.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
A beautiful third-person shooter with co-op gameplay, with no apparent story, no-brainer, full of humor and funny to play.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics seem gorgeous in every mission/level at max details and the hardware requirements are low to enjoy good looking graphics.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
overpriced because a friend bought me this game on release and it was 80€ for game + season pass. i got around 15 hours (story missions only with dlc missions, without multiplayer time and other game modes) out of it. that's really not much.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
the presentation of the game is superb. great graphics, solid story, very good voice acting & humor and fun gameplay. big maps for fighting, looting and exploring. there are lots of treasures and secret areas hidden in the world and a lot of undead need killing with lots of guns and various traps. also there are a lot of fun puzzles and the occasional mild jump scare for some laughter. it's really big fun.
