They sprint, they come at you in impressively rendered hordes, they crawl atop one another in a desperate attempt to rip you to shreds. Just like the movie, zombies here are vicious packs of bloodthirsty foes. They’re much more deadly and far more terrifying. However, these zombies don’t behave like your standard undead foes in games. Most of your time will actually be spent shooting zombies – it is a co-op shooter after all. In fact, silent moments as a whole are far and few between despite how unsettling they can be when done right. The horror of World War Z doesn’t linger in the silent moments. Tokyo and Moscow are also here with the latter being a personal highlight. New York has the eerie, uncomfortable silence that you see at the start of the film and Jerusalem offers a tense experience as you manoeuvre through the city’s tight alleyways. For those familiar with the 2013 Brad Pitt movie, most of these environments should be familiar.
On launch, there are four environments: New York, Jerusalem, Moscow and Tokyo.
Throughout its four chapters and eleven missions, there’s a sense that developer Saber Interactive know exactly what made the Valve-published shooters so memorable and enjoyable in the first place.Įach chapter here puts you in the role of a new group of survivors as you experience their stories across the world. It’s with this in mind that it doesn’t feel wrong to state that World War Z isn’t as good as Left 4 Dead, but it excites me that it’s just a hair’s breadth away from the greatly polished experience found there. Some games have tried very hard, just look at the success of Warhammer Vermintide and its sequel, but nothing has truly beaten what Turtle Rock Studios masterfully created back in 2009. Despite how many games have tried to gun for its crown, I don’t think there’s been a co-op shooter that has truly dethroned Left 4 Dead.
