IGN;The War Z misses the mark at almost everything it does. It’s rife with bugs and other tech issues, and the large amount of guns has turned it into a place where meaningful player interactions rarely occur. It needs a lot of work to become something that feels like a proper release, and is in dire need of the slew of promised features to make it more than rarely entertaining. This is a prime example of a game that oversells and underdelivers. 3/10
(Although, statistically speaking, the game was released fall 2012. But, considering the majority of "GOTY Awards" had been decided upon, and due to this games horrendous gameplay, it would be shameful to exclude it from this years nominations... )
