The humor in the game is largely seen as a weak point, with many fans of the Zombieland franchise feeling that it fails to capture the charm and wit of the movies. While there are some familiar characters and references, the jokes often fall flat, with repetitive and cringe-worthy lines that detract from the overall experience. Overall, the humor is minimal and lacks the cleverness that fans might expect, making it a disappointing aspect for many players.
“Fans of the Zombieland movies might enjoy the familiar characters and callbacks, as the game includes some of the franchise’s humor and references.”
“Also, it has the actor likenesses and humor from the movie, if you're a fan of that.”
“The voice acting seems like the actual actors; some of the lines are good and funny.”
“The setting is meant to be fictional before the second movie, so don’t expect any well-known scenes you might remember. The intro dialogues are so cringe-worthy and unfunny; I can't really describe this.”
“The humor falls flat and feels forced, making it hard to enjoy the game.”
“I expected some clever jokes, but instead, I was met with tired clichés and awkward attempts at comedy.”

The monetization aspect of the game is widely criticized as a "cash grab," with players feeling that it exploits the popularity of the *Zombieland* movies without delivering a quality experience. Despite some acknowledgment of the developers' efforts, many reviewers express disappointment over the game's pricing and lack of replay value, reinforcing the perception that it prioritizes profit over quality.
“The game feels like a shameless cinematic cash grab, riding on the popularity of the Zombieland movies without delivering a quality product.”
“It pains me to say this, but I wish I'd read the reviews. Luckily, I'm under 2 hours and can request a refund. The movies were spectacular, and this bridges the gap between both movies (unofficially), but this is just a straight cash grab. To think £30 is a reasonable price for something that won't even be worth a replay is disappointing.”
“I kind of hoped we would have permanently moved away from movie cash grabs, but it seems they are still alive and well... even in a zombie apocalypse.”
