With friends though it can be a lot of fun, despite the generic design, and the competitive multiplayer – the part Saber Interactive were trying to pitch to Sony – is surprisingly just as good. You can play the whole game on your own but, like Left 4 Dead, it’s a rather dull and depressing experience. Halo Infinite Winter Contingency Christmas event starts today The problem for World War Z is two-fold though, in that everything that doesn’t involve fighting the horde is horribly generic and boring by comparison, and that the game is frustratingly glitchy and patently unfinished. They even do that thing from the movie, where they climb on each other to reach higher ground, and it not only looks impressive but is genuinely terrifying when you suddenly have a mountain of zombies running straight at you. You’re given a couple of minutes to search the immediate area for traps and weapons to help you out, before the floodgates open and the zombies literally pour in. The giant hordes of zombies are not a constant fixture, as that would get old very quickly, but there are regular set pieces where you realise you’re about to be overrun and have to go into siege mode around a specific defensive position. World War Z is not a subtle game but if the idea of pumping endless rounds of ammunition into hundreds of zombies at a time sounds like the way you want to spend your spare time then it does get most of the basics right. It’s a shame because with a bit more work this could’ve been the Left 4 Dead spiritual sequel that Valve refuses to make themselves.

Which in turn explains why World War Z seems rushed, which would otherwise seem silly given it’s a tie-in to a movie that’s already six years old at this point. In the end the two games have come out at almost exactly the same time, with one clearly intended to compliment the other – even though the connection is entirely unofficial. So much so that when developer Saber Interactive realised the similarities they approached Sony about making a multiplayer mode for Days Gone – but were turned down. They’re both third person shooters though and it’s clear that Days Gone has been heavily influenced by the World War Z movie’s portrayal of zombies, in terms of how fast they move and how they do so in great ant-like swarms. Days Gone, a PlayStation 4 exclusive whose review you can read here, is an open world single-player game, so on the surface there doesn’t seem much similarity between the two games.
