Thx for posting updates for Epic Games Store exclusive games!
Only recently stumbled upon this game in the sale and having fun, they are supporting it pretty well.
An old anti-consumer Epic exclusive. Just grab the free version.
Epic, make piracy great again.
It’s only £11 in the sale. You’d have to be pretty pathetic to still pirate it at that price.
Or maybe just not fooled by the anti-consumer BS. But if you are a peasant, have fun 😉

Idiot.
Truth hurts, eh?
Anyone here try single player on PC? If so is it as good or better than L4D or L4D2? Just curious if it’s worth trying.
Doesnt look like it’s on Steam but I got that Epic launcher thing installed because of a few free games (but never tried them).
Thumbs up or down on this one?
Seriously go and play L4D 1 or 2 now and you’ll find that they haven’t aged well and weren’t actually as good as you remember. WWZ is leagues ahead for me, it is a lot of fun with a group of friends or with bots in single player.
Just grab the repack. It’s not great.
