73 from critics against 85 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Steam's global achievement data puts 26 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 18. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 28 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2026 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 387 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 46 percent of the 6,040 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (currency, cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
The main story runs 9 hours. Doing everything runs 86, 9.5 times as long.
The rating rests on 235,166 reviews, so it is not going to move much from here.

Workshop integration is another huge W, giving players easy access to awesome custom maps and mods. Another thing that surprises me is how well the game has aged.

Great game but unfortunately it's full of hackers and you'll get screwed if you play online in public matches. There are patches and/or clients available for you to be able to play safely I'd urge you to look them up if you plan to play online.
I can't even load into a custom game with friends. This game is riddled with errors that make it so unplayable online, that it's ridiculous they even continue to "support" this game. Multiplayer content is scarce, and Zombie content is flooded with garbage (as if we needed modded zombies again lol).
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
