A remarkable monument to scripted impotence, artificially stretched out over 40 hours of tedious running time solely to turn a brutal biker into an unpaid errand boy for the survivors' cardboard leaders. The main plot, involving the search for Deacon's dead wife, is utterly contrived and built on a single, tiresome formula: the hero suffers at an empty grave, travels to Camp 1 (where everyone has died), learns that Sarah has been transported to Camp 2 (where everyone has also died), and so on, until, at a long-awaited meeting, Sarah begins to interact with him with the warmth of a default NPC giving quests to gather herbs. The characters regularly suffer memory lapses, and cheap dramatizations like Boozer's fake death at the end will make even Bollywood fans burst into tears. All this tediousness, constantly interrupted by annoying 5-second cutscenes with screen fading, ultimately does not provide any answers about the lore and the nature of the virus, brazenly leaving the player at a broken trough with the groundwork for a sequel, which Sony, to the great happiness of humanity, safely buried.
