What drives the score
Grades: S best, D weakest
S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
What players say
iconic game with great characters, including francis, my favorite baddie who loves to complain lol. i love the fact that you can see your legs on this one, it's definitely more immersive and that's how every first person game should be. infinite shoving is cool but also makes the game a cakewalk. only 3 special infected, 3 guns to choose from, barely any modes to play and a few campaigns, each one with the same...

This is pretty fun even with mods, but would be nice if valve put in a workshop so that you don't have to look for mods on other websites like gamemaps
