A stunning masterpiece that manages to position itself as a gritty survival simulator, but in reality turns out to be a typical Ubisoft wanker with towers, outposts, and quests like "bring grandpa his glasses from his apartment in the middle of a deadly epidemic." Our elite secret service agent, Kyle Crane, has the phenomenal endurance of an 80-year-old asthmatic and begins to wheeze after 15 seconds of running, forcing the player to spend 10 minutes in the early stages hacking at a single beggar zombie with a rusty water pipe that breaks faster than a plastic cup. But in the late game, the balance completely goes out the window thanks to the overpowered DLC weapons, turning the once-terrifying nighttime horror into a joyful circus, where the bouncy Crane, with an endless cat and a shotgun, shoots everything living and nonliving. And this whole drawn-out tedium with a primitive QTE ending against the cartoonish capricious villain Rais is praised by fans as "the best zombie action" solely because the audience is ready to forgive any game design flaws and empty locations for the dubious pleasure of throwing a dead man off a roof 1000 times and looking at his funny ragdoll.
