it was just some ok zombie game 5/10
edit: this was the same dude that blamed the sequel's cancellation on players who waited for a sale lol
also some of the bugs at launch were gamebreaking bugs like a checkpoint spawning you in the middle of a horde of enemies causing a death loop and forcing you to delete your savefile
The problem was the game was dumb as fuck, but had one interesting gimmick (the nests) that should have been the whole game and instead we got a million fetch quests with a dumb as fuck story, sprinkled with some idiotic "stealth" sections.
I seriously can't get over how fucking stupid the story was. And holy fuck those flashback sequences. Stopped the game momentum at the worst moments, force you to walk through the fucking daisies while listening to a couple with the least amount of chemistry possible and setting up absolutely ZERO plot moving forward. Just god awful writing, all around.

A guy and his wife are seperated when the zombie outbreak happens and she goes to a refugee camp by helicopter. The main guy statys back to help his injured friend
Then he gets the news that this camp was overrun by zombies so it is assumed she's dead
Then years later he meets a researcher was on that helicopter and he says it went somewhere completely different. So maybe she is alive?

I'm not saying it's a great story I didn't finish it but it seems to lack a lot of the problematic elements that other zombie media could have
I read further on the Wikipedia summary and his
spoiler
wife was a researcher and once she's found at a lab the game becomes about the origin of the zombies, working on a cure for the zombies vs killing them, conspiracies etc
Basically, except his girlfriend is actually working for the government now as their best scientist or some shit
It think it is very different from avenging or rescuing. The main character thought his wife was dead but then learns she is alive and goes to meet her. Not to rescue her from danger
This is accurate until he finds out she's alive in the final ish act
