When this game was announced, it was one of the few games that I've ever been interested in on the Wii U. But the few games the console had, that I actually was somewhat interested in, didn't wanna make me buy the console, so I only got to play this game, when it was ported for the then next gen consoles and PC.

I got this game as either a Christmas or birthday present on Steam, can't remember anymore which one of both... Only to learn that I had to install and create a uPlay Account. I love this weird cases, where you buy a game on launcher 1 but have to install launcher 2, because why not?
The game looked absolutely amazing, and I loved that it was set in London, because I always wanna know how these apocalyptic scenarios play out outside the US. One feature that I liked a lot was that when you died, you would respawn as another survivor, that just randomly found your old shelter and you had to find your old, now zombified you to get your old loot back.
I remember hating the circus part of the game a lot, but now that I just watched it online again, it looked so easy. Maybe I wasn't just a good player back then. Well, whatever, I finished the game anyway.
Towards the end, the game became less and less polished. When I entered Buckingham Palace, I entered a room, that I wasn't meant to enter yet, killed a special zombie, that I wasn't meant to kill yet and got his loot early and when I really needed to go there, I had to do some trickery, to get this zombie back to spawn, because I only got half his loot. Also, I found a jump scare trigger wall, that I could trigger endlessly. A zombie crashing through something... Well, at least, that was what it was meant for, but all the other times it only played the sound.

Still a good zombie game.
