I'm honestly surprised how fun this game was with a friend. Don't get me wrong, I've always been a big fan of the first one, replayed it a few times too. My concern was more because of the development hell and long development time this game had.
After getting the platinum trophy on it however I can tell you this is a certified good zombie game and a fun co-op experience. Loved the areas and the attention to detail they had, game had some good humor too. Combat feels good and I have to praise the maiming system in this, it's fucking incredible. Probably the most detailed gore I have seen to date. I also really liked exploring the worlds and doing the sidequests but my god there are many locked containers(maybe a little too much). Oh yeah the co-op works flawlessly, no issues, all players carry over their progression and stuff after a co-op session and so on. It's great!
Now for some things I didn't like: I wasn't the biggest fan of the new skillcard system, some cards had a bad trade-off(i'm looking at you autophage cards) and you just have too few cardslots I feel like. A normal skilltree would have been better imo. I also HATE and I mean HATE how few ammo and medkits your character can carry, it feels like im running out every two minutes or so, so yeah some inventory upgrades would have been nice, they could have implented this in the skillcard system. Also zombies keep spawning everywhere ALL the time, sometimes this is a good thing but most times this just annoyed me. Lastly they just kinda ripped of the "Fury" thing from Dying Light 2 where u become an unstoppable cracked out zombie(There's always a bigger fish right).
