i thought it would be in the 70s and be a good game suffering from derivative factor, but it seems to be worse than i expected in the actual gameplay department
6/10 from Metro
In Short: A peculiarly constructed open world zombie game that sidelines its most unique features in favour of generic action and unengaging storytelling.
Pros: The zombie hordes are an impressive technical feat and learning to deal with them is interesting. Competent gameplay mechanics and plenty of content.
Cons: The story and characters, and really the game as a whole, is very derivative and dry, with repetitive missions and a strange lack of zombies for a lot of the time. Score: 6/10

Hmmm. I think I'll be cancelling my preorder and holding off until it drops in price.
I've got plenty to keep me busy for now.

I can only think that the great streak of exclusives the PS4 had let people believe this would be another hit, because I don't know what you could have saw in those previews to make you think it would be.
I was never hyped at all but intrigued all the same. Sucks for the development team, all these years and they couldn't deliver a better product.
Glad I waited and didn't put down full price on this. The slog and lack of variety sound really bad.
Fucking rip. Felt so safe with 78-82 with Detroit as the basis for a mild divisive game :( guess should have went with 70-75
Seriously what did you expect? Is crystal clear that the game look mediocre at best.
Not every Sony exclusive must be a masterpiece though.
Our review is up, along with quite a few 4K SHQ videos of course:

We seem to be more positive about it than other reviewers.

I'm pretty sure you're not the only one considering Era pretty much went out of their way to shit on the game since the very beginning.
It's a bummer that the game turned out the way it did, but i'm sure all of the people won't go out of their way to say I told you so.(yes they will)

wow, what's this stuff about selling slaves? WTF
From Waypoint's review.
The thing is, Deacon sucks. He doesn't just suck because he moves around the world as if he's just learning to walk and super frustrating to control around packs of zombies, he sucks because the game tries to present him as a morally complex anti-hero and it doesn't land. It's one thing to present players with a character they're supposed to feel conflicted about, but what am I supposed to do with a person who says you "can't shoot a woman unless you have to," while later selling a woman he saved to a labor camp, knowing she'll spend her whole life digging ditches for the tyrant running the place?
From Waypoint's review.
Expected a 7/10 from what was told from the Schreiers of this world after previews
Meh-Game that looks good

Well at least that one is on game pass so we could try it for $1 and see what a turd it is vs $60 for this one!
