Watch the video review. He knows it's a survival horror game, he just thinks it would have been better as a shooter because he enjoyed the multiplayer way more than the single player.

No thanks, we already have enough pure shooters. Also shooting stuff like a maniac contradicts the whole purpose of survival horror. This game is meant to be all about scavenging and surviving with the scarce ressources that you find. That has been clear for months now.

 

I can't get over the fact that the reviewer complains about being slow and vulnerable in the singleplayer is a minus in a survival game and that the multiplayer is way better because he can be the akimbo wielding super soldier that he is in real life. This guy must hate Amnesia with a passion. Why would someone like that volunteer to test this game.

Eventually it's just one man's opinion, and perhaps indeed the game just isn't for him. But from the review it doesn't sound like he hates survival horror and only plays shooters. It sounds like he thinks this is too basic to be a good survival horror game. From what I've seen of ZombiU there are definitely elements that remind me of the original RE, but maybe this game went too far in that direction and as a result feels tedious. If he is just trolling, then yeah, I agree with you.

edit: Anyway I'm waiting to hear what people who enjoyed Dark/Demon's Souls and Monster Hunter think of this game before passing judgement.
