the ai is fucking terrible, and some of the cards and all the special infected (the ones in the beta anyway) are unbalanced as shit

The general gameplay doesn't feel as fast or thought out as L4D, alot of unnecessary additions like Sprint and ADS(can be disabled through certain Card mechanics I'll get to) and overall special infected are very tanky and hard to kill if you don't have DMG perks. There's only a couple special infected (4 not including a Tank-like boss that has static non-random spawns) although there's different variants of them that do very slightly different things. Alot of small details are missing too, stuff like subtle but distinct music cues to alert you of Special Infected and a general lack of music in general, it's incredibly generic and forgettable, characters aren't as endearing as L4D and some get quite obnoxious imo.

The card mechanic is somewhat interesting but doesn't feel fleshed out very well and feels like a vector for P2W features. You pick a card after every mission and they provide a variety of buffs but in the beginning they are very negligible. And this is all the progression there is in the game, you play to unlock more cards and this is it.

There's no campaign versus, instead you get a crappily done survival versus mode that features a small map that shrinks ala battle royale until the survivors die, it's awful. They also pretty much said "fuck you" to people that want a Campaign versus. Also has the worst A.I in existence, I'd rather have a 4 year old as a teammate.

it's not terrible but I wouldn't pay $60 or even $40 for it.

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

I just played the beta and thought it was pretty fun tbh. Very similar to L4D
