Overview: Not stellar but certainly decent, a fairly fun zombie survival game with a relatively unique gameplay twist despite some outstanding flaws in gameplay balance and diversity (all four characters feel the same,) as well as story (at its best it's good B-movie cheese, at it's worst it limps along without the exposition in the Riptide expansion.) A respectable purchase if you can get it on sale, otherwise just wait until Techland's next entry, Dying Light.
