Bigger and better than its predecessor
Great at capturing the feel of a nondescript suburb or rural town
Extra tense balancing your need for supplies with the risk inherent to attaining them
Incredible and dynamic simulation gameplay
Visceral and satisfying combat
Dynamic narrative lets you craft your own story

With suitably gory finishers
The expanded range of survivor traits is great

As it should be in a z

The editors didn't like
Flimsy story
Copious bugs
Very buggy
Even at the best of times
Co-op mode feels a bit slapdash and compromised
Can be repetitive
Though that's also sort-of the appeal
Missing attention to detail and polish
Multiplayer implementation is weak
Microsoft
The cloud company
Says no to dedicated servers
So many systems are underutilized
Leading to a distinct lack of depth
A lack of visual themes that makes everything look dull
Numerous bugs that range from annoying to game breaking
Aggressive motion blur that can't be adjusted
Fails to entice you in
Technical issues still rearing their ugly heads
Needs even more explanation of a lot of its systems
Rough from a visual and performance standpoint
Small map for an open world game in 2018
Doesn't deliver that many additions over the first game
