Eurogamer: by Edwin Evans-Thirlwell

A brainless, buggy open-world game that's forgotten the second you put down the pad.

The main pros of the game

  • Fun Gameplay: Many players enjoy the mindless zombie-killing action and the sheer variety of weapons and combinations available, making for chaotic and entertaining gameplay.
  • Open World Exploration: The game allows for extensive exploration of a large map with many locations and collectibles, giving players the freedom to engage with the environment as they please.
  • Christmas Theme: The festive setting adds a unique charm, with holiday aesthetics that some players find enjoyable during the season.
  • Weapon Customization: Players appreciate the ability to craft and combine weapons, which remains a highlight of the series.
  • Improved Graphics: Many reviews mention that the graphics are decent, with good visual effects during gameplay.

The main cons of the game

  • Loss of Series Identity: Long-time fans feel that the game lacks the core elements that defined previous entries, such as the timer, psychopaths, and survivor escort missions, resulting in a less engaging experience.
  • Character Changes: Frank West's character has been criticized for being less relatable and more of a caricature, with a new voice actor and different personality traits that alienate series veterans.
  • Bugs and Glitches: Numerous players report encountering various bugs that can disrupt gameplay, including freezing issues and unresponsive controls.
  • Weak Story: The narrative is often described as predictable and lacking depth, with underdeveloped characters and an unsatisfying conclusion.
  • Multiplayer Limitations: The multiplayer mode is seen as a weak addition, being separate from the main campaign and lacking the co-op experience of earlier games.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • No Time Limit: The absence of a time constraint removes the urgency and strategic gameplay that previous titles had, leading to a more casual experience.
  • Psychopaths and Unique Bosses: The game replaces the iconic psychopaths with less memorable "maniacs," which many players found disappointing.
  • Escort Missions: The lack of meaningful survivor escort missions reduces player engagement and the emotional stakes that were present in earlier games.
  • Multiple Endings: Unlike previous entries, the game offers only one ending, further diminishing replayability.
  • Co-op Campaign: The removal of a co-op campaign mode is a significant drawback for fans who enjoyed playing with friends in previous titles.

Summary

  • In summary, while Dead Rising 4 offers fun gameplay and a festive atmosphere, it has been criticized for straying too far from the series' roots, leading to a mixed reception among fans.
