World War Z Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
World War Z may not do anything to really stand out in the genre, but that doesn’t mean it is not a fun time. The core of the game is very basic, and at times can feel like a simple reskin of other similar games, but that should not turn anyone away from checking it out. I would especially recommend it if you are looking for a zombie game on the Switch, as it is probably the best option out there for you.
With its deep progression system, vast array of locations and classes, World War Z Aftermath is an excellent play for anyone looking to shoot up some zombies with their friends.
World War Z VR offers plenty of excitement and anxiety at every step, with strong gunplay and some great set pieces when the hordes show up.
Despite the book coming out in 2006 and the Brad Pitt movie in 2013, it’s taken until now for World War Z to make it onto our digital apocalypse.
A surprisingly deep and fun co-op shooter, World War Z proves that killing hordes of zombies is still fun, years after the genre hit its peak.
Inspired by Paramount Pictures’ blockbuster film, World War Z is a four-player cooperative featuring massive swarms of zombies who rush their living prey.
World War Z is very competently made and has very few flaws, but it's just nothing we haven't seen plenty of times before.
World War Z GOTY edition doesn’t provide a whole lot to players that the standard edition already has done in way of free post-release content. In essence, you’re paying for character skins, and weapon skins and variants. While the variants help new players jump start their adventure, the upgrade for returning players isn’t all that worthwhile. The Marseille episode, while fantastic, can also be purchased as a separate DLC. In reality, the GOTY edition doesn’t have too many legs to stand on to suggest it’s completely worth the money.
When I first heard that World War Z was coming to Nintendo Switch, my first response was, how? World War Z's key selling feature is the sheer amount of zombies
“While it stands on the shoulders of giants, World War Z does so proudly and with plenty of its own merits.”
Like the zombies you fight in the game, World War Z turns anyone into a howling, furious beast within seconds of contact.
