After the first episode, I found killing the taken mostly useless because of the respawn. For most of the game I ended up just running past them and dodging to the nearest light source which also acts as a savepoint. I say mostly because the game does force you to kill some enemies by having a mini horde mode or boss mode in order to advance. These sections were more frustrating than anything else, especially since at this point in time all I cared about was the story (because the gameplay was lackluster). This is even more apparent with the two included DLCs. It even becomes laughable at times where I would run a couple of feet, with 10 guys chasing behind me, to the next light source, which would immediately kill all the enemies. The story is average at best. The DLC isn't even needed. It felt rushed especially how they ignored and pretend certain parts of the story isn't important (hello Mr. Scratch). I would not recommend this game at $30.
