The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.

Why players love itThings to know
50% of themes are praise17% are divided33% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The infection mechanic adds tension by turning any encounter into a risk—characters hit by monsters have only a brief window to be cured or they’ll transform into enemies, suddenly shifting the balance mid-mission.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
83 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story offers more depth than its humorous tone initially suggests, and the cast of characters brings personality to the unfolding crisis.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music, though very few, is perfect, the visuals are amazingly timeless, funny and accurate.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It supposedly added most of the replay value, plus the usual extra fun that comes from playing in co-op with others.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
SOUND - The sound effects are great, all the weapons sounds are perfect, very retro.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A great TRPG, with less RPG elements but that gives it a nice spin (your inventory and character determines skills, it is way better than what you may think at first).
