The player can also enable an 'infection' mode that makes the player have a chance of becoming a zombie after getting hit even once for an extra challenge (al...

At the time of this review the game is not functioning at all. Freezes dead when loading in the main menu. Current Setup: CPU - Ryzen 7 7800X3D RAM - 64GB GPU - XFX RX6900 XTX OS - Win 11 Pro.

Played when I was a kid on release, pvp hunted was peak and even campaign with player zombies was insanity shoutout the single goat dev.

It's ok. Need more players.

amazing game when you play with your friends
