The base game is actually really great! Even though it's obviously not the most sophisticated game of all time and I dont think the developers expected it to be either, all in all the game is very fun. It's everything you wanted in an fps as a kid. Blood, guts, senseless violence and dumb humour. Even though every fibre of my being hates the vibe of this game and its creators I have to admit there is something so charming about it. But that's only for the base game. Apocalypse weekend is atrocious I do not reccomend playing it even if you really enjoyed the base game like I did. I have never wanted a game to end faster than it did more than I did during apocalypse weekend. Everything is wrong with it, the story is dumb but not in a goofy charming way like the regular story it's just lazy and it knows it. There's this one part where the game leads you to believe there'll be another little mission/activity after youcomplete a certain quest and it just cuts to a clip of the creator of the game on a phone call comically remarking about how they dont have the budget for the sequence in game so it just cuts to the next day instead. This is funny and I understand what they were doing but like it doesn't really work when the game is already dissapointing like the joke doesn't work when it's in a shit game and overall apocalypse weekend feels like it knows its shit and doesnt care and thats why its awful, I understand that's the tone of the base game too but there was still substance there. Anyways I dont care to finish the paradise lost dlc so im not accounting for that in my review. Without apocalypse weekend the game is a 3 and a half maybe even a 4, with it gets a generous 3 stars
