More about World War Z
Steam's global achievement data puts under 1 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 7.5-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 39 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2026 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 131 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 39 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 49 percent of the 2,351 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 7.5 hours; clearing it takes 47, which is 6.3 times the campaign.

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
6/10 Avg zombie shooter with a paper-thin base campaign. Half the maps are locked behind overpriced DLC packs that aren't worth the money.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
I love this game but the fact you need to buy the levels of something you had already buyed it's so annoying.
Such a fire game to play with friends and lots of customization with weapons and your class skill trees
