No More Room In Hell 2
In the sequel to the 2011 award-winning Source mod, you and your fellow survivors must make your way through a diseased world that has seen the dead rise to feast on the living. Cooperation and teamwork are vital if the human race is to survive this living hell. The world endured the Kulon pandemic that induced comas or death in its victims for over a year. Governments scrambled to quarantine infected cities or outright collapsed as millions became infected. Scientists had a promising vaccine ready for distribution until the infected began dying, only to wake with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Chaos and death leave you and the remaining survivors in the most desperate fights of your lives as you run, stab, smash, and blast your way to safety.

- NMRIH 2 is a fantastic zombie thriller and is a perfect sequel. You play as an emergency services volunteer turned support millitia, during the zombie apocalypse, your job is to enter an overrun area and provide support in terms of stabilising industrial facilities, assisting with evacuation, and securing and uploading medical data. You are not a soldier, you are not a warrior, killing zombies is difficult, supplies are limited and if you mess around, you will die. This is not an easy game, even on normal difficulty. You will be under constant stress, worrying about infection, supplies, approaching zombies and objectives, intensifying until extraction. The game features two game modes: Objective: In Objective, there are two map types: open and linear. In an open map, your team of survivors is spread all around the corners of the map, and you need to move towards the centre to complete the main objective, gathering supplies and completing sub-objectives along the way to succeed. The closer you get to the ce
- I absolutely love it. The intensity of zombie survival was not captured like this before in my opinion.

- Having played since day 1 of the early access period, I think I can confidently say that the launch version of this game is leagues above the broken mess that was released back in 2024. Personally, despite the game-breaking bugs, lack of optimization, and weird design choices that crippled the game early on, I always believed that at its core, it was simply fun to play. While not exactly the sequel that most of us expected during development, I still think the essence of the first game and its Romero inspiration came through enough to be worthy of the title. With cross-play now in the cards, years of added content alongside launch additions, and ongoing bug fixes and optimization, this game has scratched an itch for me that no other zombie shooter has managed to since Left 4 Dead.

What critics said
Praise
- Though No More Room in Hell 2 clearly leans into decades of zombie history, it feels, most of all, like a great mash-up of two of my favorite zombie games: It has the dread-inducing, life-or-death stakes of State of Decay wrapped in a tight co-op experience reminiscent of Left 4 Dead. Though some subpar shooting mechanics keep it from being as enjoyable as either of those, that’s also a very high bar in my mind, and No More Room in Hell 2 still accomplishes a hell of a lot.
- No More Room In Hell 2 has won us over with fantastic objective based gameplay, letting us pair up with up to 8 players to survive the madness. The maps are huge and offer plenty to explore, the new Survival mode is a great change of pace, and the constant risk of losing it all feels well balanced. If Torn Banner can sort out the buggy menus, we’ll have one of the best online multiplayer games we’ve played this year on our hands.
- If you're playing No More Room In Hell 2 on PC and comfortable parked at a desk with a mouse, you're going to have a great time. But 1.0 is supposed to mean the training wheels are off, and on controller, they're very much still on.
Criticism
- Whatever vision the development team had for No More Room in Hell 2 is squandered by bugs, a dismal gameplay loop, awful permadeath implementation, and more. Even if it's eventually technically sound, the concept needs a lot more work. [Early Access Score = 50]
