So I recently saw a Youtube video that said this game was underrated and explained why, I wasn't fully convinced the game was good but I was motivated to try it. I never had a WiiU but I did start playing it once on my PS4 but quit after 1 hour and thought hey I wanna finish it this time around so I did. I'm gonna be honest, this game is no masterpiece but I did enjoy playing it, weirdly enough it's something fresh if you're sick of all the repetitive open world ♥♥♥♥ Ubisoft keeps pushing out lately. In short this is a linear zombie survival horror experience which lasts about 6-8 hours, you play as a random survivor but the twist here is if you die you get to play as a new survivor and now have to kill your former zombified self to claim all of your goods back. Sadly, and I really mean sadly I didn't die so I couldn't kill my previous survivor which looks like something fun. Ok but enough sidetracking, the game takes place in London and it's honestly a really interesting location for a zombie apocalypse, you get to play in the streets of london, tower of london, buckingham palace, underground metro tubes,... It creates a unique atmosphere talking about atmosphere this game does a good job of keeping you on your toes with it's creepy vibe. You have a lot of guns to choice from, gunplay is OK, melee combat is very basic but you will use it frequently. Story is forgetable tbh, just like the characters. I also experienced a few crashes but besides that everything was fine. Honestly im just surprised I enjoyed this as much as I did and what kinda tone the game set. I really hope Ubisoft doesn't give up on this IP and actually makes a sequel for all platforms. I think they could create something awesome this day and age but please do keep it linear or linearish. We already have too many open world games as is... Still here huh? What are you waiting for wanker! Buy this game alright chap? ;)

Was that video by Critical Nobody? I know he made a video about ZombiU fairly recently, and he sort of said it was underrated.

I had to check but it's a video by a youtuber called Black Yoshi. The title of the video is just ZOMBIU. I'll link it:

He also explains why it's underrated, and I must say he was right. It's also just an entertaining video to watch tbh.
