If you're living in 2017 and still don't own Left 4 Dead 2, what are you doing with your life?

I recommend the Joyful only because it feels like a must buy for anyone wanting to finish the series. The game offers some type of closure for fans of the series, yet still leaves many questions.

Pros:
+Great Soundtrack
+Sprinting!
+Interesting Bosses
+Slight References to the Painful

Cons:
-Buddy becomes a total edgelord
-Gameplay goes into a repetitive cycle of spamming Joy.
-The endings feel lackluster, along with the fact there's still a lot of questions left unanswered.
-Much, much less humour compared to The Painful.
-Characters feel underdeveloped and the story feels slightly rushed.

Overall, 5.5/10.

Although the game isn't downright awful, I wouldn't recomend it. The whole game screams "Your choices matter!" which is one gigantic lie. Characters can be killed off in earlier parts of the season, but it makes no difference if you keep them alive, or kill them on the spot. I recall one moment of the game, where I chose to save a character (You know who if you've played it) just to have them die literally 15 minutes later. There was also a point in time where I saved a character in Episode 2 just to have him mutter a few words and dies a few episodes later. And I can't forget that pointless 400 days DLC. Even if you managed to save a few characters, they only make small cameos and disappear from the game for the rest of the time. Most of the characters you run into are very forgetable, and lack development. Oh, and don't forget that every adult in the game is useless! At one point, they can't figure out how to turn on a windmill, so who else to go to but the 11 year old girl, right?

I would, however, highly recommend Season One if you don't have it already. Season Two just couldn't deliver with all the hype Season One had.

Really fun, and really addicting once you really get into it.
