Does a lot I've always wanted from a zombie game that I haven't really found elsewhere, and the main gameplay loop and combat/resource management is fun. The major downsides are the total lack of a story and the fact that there's no real drive or directive to progress other than just filling your map with a bunch of the same "destroy the plague heart" task

Since release there have been bug fixes, improvements, and new dlc content. Okay solo but a must if you are looking for a good co-op experience.

By yourself I think it's a bit of a drag, but with a friend the gameplay loop is entertaining if you like scavenging. I wish there was more of an interesting story to go along with it, I wish it wasn't so buggy; it's far from a perfect game but there's fun to be had. I wish the co-op would have been implemented differently as well.
