Left 4 Dead 2 - Review

Left 4 Dead 2

   Another legendary Valve game, we manage a team of 4 trying to escape from zombies. In this game, which generally has a dark theme, you need to move as a team; otherwise, progressing becomes difficult or impossible. You can trust the AI when playing alone, it does a pretty good job, but if you gather 4 friends and play together, you'll have a lot of fun. The maps, voice acting, graphics, and story are all still nice even after all these years. There are thousands of regular zombies running at you, but it's the special zombies you need to be afraid of, not them.

   In this game with a variety of ranged and melee weapons and bombs, the pipe bomb will probably make your job the easiest, because thanks to its sound and red light, it gathers regular zombies around it and after a while explodes, killing them all. The pistols' ammo is also unlimited, so except for special zombies, killing the others will never be a problem for you. Remember, this is a team game, don’t leave anyone behind.

   The special zombies are as follows
  • Tank: Shakes the ground as it walks, extremely strong, throws rocks, needs to take lots of damage to die, but it’s easier to defeat using Molotovs and strong weapons.
  • Witch: Looks like a crying woman, normally harmless but if you go near her or if she takes any damage, she screams and runs towards you and can knock you down with a single hit.
  • Charger: Has an overly developed right arm but the left is tiny. Its one feature is starting to run with its right arm, tossing everyone aside and grabbing one player to slam them into the ground and won't stop until they're dead.
  • Spitter: This friend’s feature is spitting acid at distance, and when it dies, the surroundings become acid. If one survivor is knocked down, the best thing is to spit acid underneath and wait close by. So, you inflict double acid damage.
  • Jockey: Small but functional. It jumps on someone and starts carrying them wherever it wants, true to its name. 
  • Boomer: Fat and slow. Doesn’t spit as far as the Spitter but vomits in a short-range area, and the zombies attack whoever is vomited on. It dies easily but explodes, spreading its vomit nearby, so it should be killed from afar. There is also a Boomer bile bomb. Thanks to this bomb you can lure regular zombies to a spot.
  • Hunter: The fastest zombie and can leap far. It jumps from a hill or roof onto you and begins mauling. The only escape is if someone else comes and kills it, otherwise it never stops.
  • Smoker: Pulls you from a distance with its tongue and starts killing you. Keeps at it until someone comes to save you.

My score for the game: 🎮🎮
