      Review

      Pretty good campaign. The only real stinker was the finale. It has optimization issues (high ping) which probably can't be helped because it's a custom boss fight, but it makes it very annoying to play as most of my shots didn't register at all. The finale could also definitely benefit from some music, it is eerily quiet when it clearly shouldn't be lol (EDIT: Seems like sometimes the custom music triggers don't play for all players, no idea why.) The rest of the campaign though is really good. Great aesthetics and a few boss fights, which are... jokes to be honest, but it's Left 4 Dead 2, so it's fine, it didn't bother me, they weren't grossly overturned or anything, really easy. 
      Yeah, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a go. If I recall correctly, I was turned off the first one because it had some annoying puzzles that I didn't want to deal with, but this one's puzzles are pretty simple. If you give up on the finale I don't blame ya, it's probably a lot easier with a full team of humans though, as the bots do not help with the bosses.

      优秀!

      地图设计相当棒!地图设计相当棒!地图设计相当棒!虽然我没玩过原作,但是听和我一起玩的基友讲,地图很好地还原了游戏地图。而我感受到的是地图设计的用心。包括但不限于会向前拓展的房间、会因为Boss上蹦下跳的家具等等。
      但美中不足的还是Boss战。额,这是求生之路,所以嘛也不是大问题。

      a:5:{s:5:"title";s:24:"Amazing campaign ?️";s:4:"text";s:628:"Wow! That's my conclusion after playing this great campaign. Even if it's WAY too hard and sometimes not bot friendly, I was amazed by the graphics and customized gameplay. A lot of stuff is customized, not just textures and objects. I still have nightmares from those custom enemies (bosses). ? It's almost like playing a different game, not L4D2. Photo studio, art gallery, haunted mansion, climb to a mountain top, labs... Well made game instructor, with one exception: when it says to use a mirror, it doesn't say it will only work if all survivors are very close to it. And bots don't get close.";s:6:"rating";d:9;s:5:"image";N;s:8:"spoilers";N;}

      Fantastic, good detail

      According to my friend who played evil within 2, the map has very nice details and even managed to recreate many of the original scene found in that game. 
      
      There were some nice surprises and the overall experience was good.
      
      However, the boss fights are a let down, the bots are completely useless and won't help at all, and the boss hp are way too long for 2 players (I can't imagine how bad it'll be for solo players). 
      
      Final boss fight - the fire running part needs some tweaks, perhaps lower hp so that the fight won't drag so long. Long hp bar + fast moving boss are no good.
