### 1/5 — Purchasing a license

*2026-08-19, version 1.4.3*

Basically saying they can delete what you buy. If thats the case give people their money back. Had to use controller so build mode could show. Ridiculous! No update or new content.

### 5/5 — Exhilarating Experience

### 2/5 — Zombies respawn

*2026-05-01, version 1.4.3*

Hello. The game seems good to begin with but i have noticed that every time you die all zombies that you have killed respawn again and if you don’t survive from a camp to camp you going to be stuck at it forever. Is there any fix for this please? Thank you

### 5/5 — LOVE IT.

*2026-04-27, version 1.4.3*

Please make sequel. I am already hooked 30 minutes in I bought the dlc even on Switch. It’s like a third person TLD but more relaxed.
