This game is a timeless classic with tons of replayability and almost endless content via the steam workshop.

My only complaints really are the hitreg and the people who play versus mode. As for the hitreg, it's fine for the most part, it's just that the hitboxes on common zombies - especially when you aim for the head - is super janky sometimes; a clear center-of-mass headshot will sometimes completely whiff for no discernible reason, or hit when it visibly should have missed. This doesnt affect most sessions as common zombies have very little health anyway, but it's a little painful on realism modes where zombies take massively reduced bodyshot damage.

As for the versus community... well, I genuinely don't know how one videogame can harbor some of the most toxic, vile people in one gamemode, and some of the nicest and wholesome people in the other. Just... stay away from versus mode, the people in PvE are much nicer. (Just don't join Expert unless you're confident in your abilities and you wanna challenge yourself. As much as I don't mind helping some relatively inexperienced players through an expert run, a portion of the Expert community doesn't really have the patience to help newer players and will instead see you as dead weight because they suck too bad to carry themselves, nevermind you lmao . Most of us are nice though, don't worry :). Just be careful because bad apples do pop up from time to time.)

As for the rest of the game though, it's fun, its cheap, it runs well on almost any PC nowadays, and my favorite part, it promotes (and honestly kinda requires) genuine teamwork from a team, rather than just giving a bunch of people a common goal and saying "go!" like a lot of other games do. Although lone wolves do not survive, just sticking near your teammates and keeping an eye on them (and ear out for them) from time to time is usually more than enough, especially on Normal or Advanced. Like seriously, if you wanna bond with a friend / group of friends, this is the game (or I guess genre now since there are a ton of games in the style of L4D).

I implore you to at least give this game a try. It's so cheap that you honestly might as well.
