Pros:
-Original and unique -Some appealing visual elements -Challenging crescendo events -Puzzling level progression -Nice custom elements -Half-life 2 correspondence -Lengthy maps, though others may list that as a con -Memorable -SO CHALLENGING, WHICH LEFT 4 DEAD NEEDS!! LOVE THE CHALLENGE! BRING IT ON!
Cons:
-Environment and atmosphere was a little stale -Scarce amount of supplies (Though, I enjoyed it as it brought a unique challenge, but could be irritating at times). -Some graphic and texture issues -Some glitches and bugs: *One I can point out is a glitch with the 3rd map. Once the team dies it spawns you to the end safe house, so I never really got to experience the 3rd map fully. -Bot navigation can be quite irritating -The mapping seems a little rushed -Finale is ambiguous (Though it was VERY fulfilling to complete it. However, I do recommend it to be shortened)
Conclusion:
I realize this campaign has some mixed reviews, but I personally enjoyed it. If you are looking for a basic left 4 dead campaign and just want a quick play-through, you may be disappointed with Claustrophobia. I played it with just my boyfriend on Hard Eight advanced until we beat it; which ate up a lot of our weekends. It is challenging, puzzling and unique. Of course, it may be TOO difficult at times but completing it with just my boyfriend and I and one bot was quite the fulfilling achievement, and getting through the finale was quite a troublesome obstacle to overcome. I have to give it a fair rating as I did encounter MANY problems, but it was still one of the most enjoyable campaigns I have ever experienced, not to mention THE MOST challenging. A bias rating would be about a 9.5. My boyfriend and I share some charitable memories because of this campaign!! Nice work. :)
