What people are saying
Split verdict: some praise improvements, others cite bugs and shallow content.
Many players note the game has improved significantly since its rocky early access launch, with smoother gameplay and a solid foundation. The tense, hardcore zombie experience and permadeath mechanics are frequently praised for creating memorable moments. [3][7][11][19]
However, critics point to persistent bugs like connection loss causing character loss, a shallow endgame, and a dwindling player base. Some also feel the game has lost the atmosphere of its predecessor and that the developers' frequent changes have hurt its identity. [18][22][25][34][35]
Praised improved post-launch state · tense hardcore gameplay · permadeath creates memorable moments

60 of 414 · most liked firstIt's sad because there is so much to love about this game, but every time the game does something amazing it's held back by the developers doing something stupid. So the highlight why you should hold off on giving them any money, here you go: Gun: Sound, look and feel amazing, some of the best gunplay I've personally experienced. Understandably for a zombie game with resource management, ammo is rare, so guns are really valuable, right? RIGHT? Well, yes and no, guns are really useful, but…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lost my lv 75 Char due to "Lost connection to host" If you are developing a hardcore game with permadeath mechanics you should absolutely have mechanisms in place to prevent loss of hours of progress due to technical problems the player cant have any control over.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Everyone is talking about gameplay but I want to talk about something else. This feels like the first true "multiplayer" game I've played in years. I play a lot of games, almost all of them multiplayer but they feel like singleplayer experiences if that makes sense. We've lost a lot of the sense of community, everyone is in a private discord with their friends, nobody talks in games except for callouts or to trash talk your last play. well this game felt like I had returned to early 2000's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Original Review: Ignore all reviews before August 11th. As of 1.0 release this game is great. It's not easy, if you're expecting L4D or a more arcade style game - this isn't it. I suggest watching some vids if you're on the fence. Please don't go in blind and then give a bad review because you had 0 idea what you were getting into. Also, you can mute players - there's a bad review saying you can't. It's wrong. EDIT 2 (28AUG26): Still recommend, having a blast. Check out the devs known…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is in a solid state now. It's finally hitting it's stride that it SHOULD have started with during it's initial release. Almost all complaints from 2 years ago have been properly addressed and have been ironed out legitimately. The shining elements that it did show back then, can finally truly shine brightly now. The game understands and completely nails what makes zombie games fun. The zombies. If you're a romero fan, you'll find a lot to love here with the zombies in this game. They…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I swing my weapon that is longer then my arm. I miss, and the zombies will hit me when I am not able to hit them back at the same range. Not fun can't recomend this untill lots of this game gets fixed not happy about buying this game :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There’s a reason the game has fewer than 200 players. Constantly changing the core gameplay is exactly what drove people away. You can't improve a game when you're always replacing its foundation. Instead of refining what's there, the developers keep scrapping it and starting over. The game has never had a clear identity, and the player count reflects that. The Discord doesn't help either—it's an echo chamber where people defend every bad decision. A game full of bugs isn't excused just because…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the game, despite its many flaws, errors, bugs, and everything else on the list... but this is Early Access. I also understand that the game is being developed by a couple of developers, not a full team. Therefore, I will leave a positive review and support the project, rather than participate in its demise, like most of the indignant people. I will leave an objective opinion and point out the pros and cons, as well as a few suggestions for improvement and content. I hope the developers…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got infected, no meds, carried a kid to the end hiding the fact I was infected, told him 'Good job kid, see you in the next life' and blew my ♥♥♥♥ clean off. All I heard was screaming and crying. 10/10 game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have you ever watched the opening to 28 Weeks Later and thought- "You know what? I want a game just like that." Well look no further because NMRiH2 is it. I mean that in a good way. It's not L4D, more like Resident Evil Outbreak. It gets the heart rate spiking at times, and bad teammates are just a difficulty modifier. So you must be thinking. "Why the negative review?" My Answer: Because even if you're 20 feet up climbing a ladder, zombies at the bottom can somehow still attack you.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first 10–15 hours were fun because I was still learning the game and discovering the different map variations. However, once you have seen everything, the thrill disappears, and grinding further starts to feel meaningless. In my opinion, the game is still too shallow, and the loadout and inventory systems are good examples. When you complete a mission and successfully extract your survivor, you only receive credits and XP to unlock perk slots. You do not keep any of the weapons,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My history with the game: I've been playing NMRIH for over a decade now and NMRIH 2 was something I've been watching closely since it first got announced. When NMRIH 2 came out into early access, I bought it. The game sucked buns but I was hopeful for change. Few weeks to 1.0: I've been playing the game on and off, as there wasn't much to do in the game, and everyone was sweating trying to finish all the missions as fast as possible. The 1 thing I was wishing they added was a solo mode. I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game runs better and is less clunky after 1.0 W devs
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Game has changed a lot from when it first released. much like the Undead in game (at released), it refused to stay dead no mater how many people unloaded full Mags into it. They've listen to the community and changed a lot of aspects like The UI and Objectives, and weapons. the Game is genuinely fun if you like hardcore zombie games, and if you have it and haven't touched it in a while, you should give it a go.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do NOT buy this game unless you have a dedicated squad of friends to play with. If you plan to rely on public matchmaking, save your money. The core issue with No More Room in Hell 2 right now is the player base's complete misconception of what the game actually is. A massive portion of the lobby treats this title like a hardcore extraction shooter. They load into matches with a total "every man for himself" mindset, sprinting straight toward loot spawns, hoarding high-tier gear, and treating…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Keep releasing updates that most of the player base dislikes, the last 100 players are happy tho! I would say the game was more fun to play a year ago than today in it's current state, with everybit of fun taken out of it little by little. Don't even mind all the huge nerfs to weapons, both melee and ranged and the huge perk nerfs on top, as much as that one update that lowered the speed of everything in the game, making matches play out much slower than before.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No More Room In Hell 2 is perhaps one of the biggest and best examples of how publishers ruin everything. This game has a perfectly playable and fun looking build that had been shown to YouTubers and streamed by the developers weeks before the original launch date. For some reason torn banner bought the series days before launch and then threw away the entire 2022 build and recoded the game in a year only keeping the assets. So the game launched and was obviously horrible and I didn't buy the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short and simple. It's not perfect, but it is fun despite some of the jank. The game is challenging enough to keep you going and the permadeath makes every run that much better. Needs a bigger player base, but you're in a game on casual/easy within 2 minutes. It's worth getting it on sale. Edit: After adding another 30 hours of gameplay, game keeps getting better. Let me break down some of main arguments against it and why I think they're bogus. 1. Melee - Awkward at first and physics…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Developers won't give up on this game and i think that it deserves a second chance. NMRIH2 is like if L4D was more realisitc and slow, all it takes is 1 bite to end your run so you have to be very careful about how you handle your encounters with zombies. The game is an extraction shooter with perma death so every run feels very tense, and what helps the tension factor even more is the way zombies behave and sound There is multiple zombie types and some of them suddenly start running at…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wouldn't recommend if your a solo player. game does not let you progress in a solo experience, just spent 1.5hour playing solo, didn't progress, feel like the game is pointless if your friends don't have it and you don't want to play with others. I know i might be the minority but surely not everyone wants to play with random people. If there was solo progression then id happily recommend it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LONG VERSION: There's no way in hell that you can legitimately recommend this game brother. So there's permadeath but also peer to peer server connection (basically means there are no NMRIH2 dedicated servers and you connect to another player hosting the game). So let's say you just joined a bad host and you got a bit of lag or it's even worst and completely unplayable, well too bad because if you loose connection or quit (alt F4 or kill process trough task manager is the same ofc) you kiss…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Long term NMRIH1 Player here. It’s honestly just sad. I got NMRIH2 for myself, thinking it might be fun like the original, but it was only because of the arcade-like feel, after a couple of weeks, I’ve had it. I uninstalled it because it just doesn’t feel the same. It doesn’t have the lore, the realism, or the grounded tone that made NMRIH1 special, the whole governmental structure with FEMA, the National Guard, the real sense of survival and realism that the original introduced. NMRIH1…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With the bugs, even with how frustrating they were, and going into 1.0 I am looking forward to seeing all the bugs ironed out. The progression is ADDICTIVE The gameplay loop is OUTRAGOUSLY FUN THE MAPS, MODES AND COMMUNITY ARE SWEET I RECCOMEND OR YOU MISS OUT!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No More Room in Hell 2 has come a long way since launch, and I’ve been playing on and off throughout its development. I can confidently say that the game has improved significantly over time, especially with the 0.9.0 update. It’s hands down the most immersive zombie early access game to me. The skill ceiling is impressive, particularly with mechanics like shove kicks and melee combat, where managing your stamina is crucial for survival. The game also does a great job of incentivizing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fun, but it gets old fast. It's worth about 100h of playtime if you're into it and play until you're good enough to play comfortably on Nightmare difficulty. Devs definitely took the wrong route with this game. Based on what I know now, I probably wouldn't have bought the game. Modding support is the most crucial thing for a PvE game in 2026+. The market is saturated with new games. No dev can deliver enough new content fast enough. They not only haven't planned modding support,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Big No More Room in Hell 1 Fan here to this day I miss the ambiance and pacing. This has practically none of that for some reason. shares a lot of mechanics melee and infection wise but none of this stuff is "unique" imop it was the feeling of the previous game, it was actually scary. I don't feel constantly on edge anymore. Instead of strong map progression where you start and end somewhere else most maps keep you in the same area just running from one building to the next. I like torn banner…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel embarrassed allowing myself to get hyped for this game. Just play the original for free.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After seeing all the mixed reviews and the negative ones being especially bitter on this, i've tried the game for a couple hours during this current free weekend period. The game is solid, has its own pace and although can seem a bit clunky and slow, i didn't notice any of the issues discussed by some people here, being hit registration of melee and bugs. I've been playing a couple "Survivors" matches and a couple "Operations" one. Despite the names and what it seems, the objective is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Essentially they made a round based zombie game that's too good for market and very few will understand. The game plays by horror movie rules and if you don't slow down and play at the pace that is expected while learning the item economy you aren't going to like this game. But, if you take the time to learn how interacting with the game works you will probably have fun with it more than most zombie games that have come out in the last 10 years. It's basically like Outbreak, L4D, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pushed along with this game despite quirks, random crash mid game meant my level 84 character died without a zombie nearby. Honestly surprised a permadeath game lacks even the basics in accountability or respect to players time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At launch this game was in a really bad state, like terrible, and they really screwed this game by launching it too early. HOWEVER after playing it in its current state its actually really enjoyable. My biggest complaint at launch was how just bad everything felt but the gameplay is very smooth now and feels fairly polished. Unfortunately the player count is quite low, averaging like 100-300 players daily, though I've managed to find matches fairly easily that will fill up as the game goes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disclaimer: I was a senior developer that worked on the NMRiH games from 2009 to 2024, and am not employed with Torn Banner This game had a very rocky launch, but the team managed to pull through and release a solid foundation for the 1.0 launch; I'm happy the combat isn't as clunky as it was in Early Access and truly hope they keep the hard work up for future updates For newcomers this is less Left 4 Dead and more like Resident Evil 2 Remake, so do try to conserve your bullets That being…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot recommend this game in its current state. You can lose characters that you have put hours into simply due to a loss of internet connection with seemingly no option to rejoin and try to save your character. You can also spawn in while still loading the game and take free hits from zombies that wander over leading to you starting already halfway dead and infected. I have lost two characters level 50+ to this so far. In addition this game is balanced around having 8 responders but you can…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think it will take another year or so to see this game to its full potential and in a better state- both gameplay and performance wise. Because my god, each major update it will fix something big but bring two problems together. I appreciate their attention to work making gameplay (combat, stamina etc) better, but fail to adjust problems to balance and zombie animations-syncs. Unfair-annoying zombie hits that makes a really unfun experience. Performance has been horrible since day 1 even on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super jank and for someone who dosent mind jank this is a little too jank. Wait until further updates, hope it turns out well.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have to tell this by saying, that mostly with an (E)arly (A)ccess title, one should be fully mindful that bugs and problems are to be expected. And that is exactly the issue, one that it feels like, nobody literally comprehends. Taking this into consideration, i simply cannot make sense of the community's mentality, why in the world would anybody think it makes common sense to leave such dismissive critiques? What is being given here is a game that is actively under improvement. The devs want…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →32 hours in total lost my first character to my own stupidity. And now I lose my level 95 character due to server issue. Loaded in walked 10 feet and died instantly zero warning. Probably wont be playing any longer it was fun while it lasted. If you don't mind instantly losing progress because zombies killed you its fun. But the instant death BECAUSE of a server problem is BS, don't bother. Glad i got this when it was on sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are a person: - With a PC that isn't ass - With internet that isn't ass - With a normal adult brain that won't get upset over a few bugs - That understands this isn't an arcade shooter Then you can ignore 90% of the negative reviews here. If you're looking to scratch that Zombie Panic Source itch then this is the game. Devs if you read this, you need the below: - Map select - Voice comms mute - Mod support - Steady steam of content Do these and the game will last for years. Don't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Soulless cash grab thats somehow buggier and worse than the original. Never forget they ended support for Chivalry 2 in favor of this trash that ended up being dead on arrival
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fun, a little clunky but fun. But my first two matches in a row, i was disconnected from the host and one of my characters loadout was lost for something that was not my fault - you would think they would just give you everything you owned and got up to that point seeing as it was not your fault. The second run, idk if i got anything back as i didint wait to find out. i quit right after that lol. I cannot imagine having this happen to me with a fully kitted loadout. This seems like…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is straight up unplayable, I spend countless hours into a character, maxing everything, and then I die because of a biter struggle but. After the struggle animation starts, I keep spamming f, throw a punch at her to stun her, then kick, aaaaand the animation got stuck. After the kicking the zombie that grabbed me AFTER!!! the struggle animation was finished, I got animation locked into it. So ggs. How the hell was I supposed to know? Fix your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game first before adding new ♥♥♥♥…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Imagine waiting for this game for years, even tolerating a one-year delay just so the bugs could be fixed — only to be met with complete garbage. Such a shame that the original team behind No More Room in Hell 1 didn’t continue their own game. (No More Room in Hell 2) .
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →unfortunately, this is the biggest example of missed opportunity in a while original is better, just play that for free
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish Steam had a middle option between positive and negative, because that is honestly where I would put No More Room in Hell 2. I liked the original No More Room in Hell, and in a lot of ways the actual gameplay in 2 is better. Getting into games is faster with matchmaking, the weapons feel good, the animations and graphics are much better, and the level design is genuinely strong. The problem is that the game design around that gameplay feels disappointing. The game seems entirely…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ve honestly become addicted to this game. The gameplay, atmosphere, and especially playing as a team are so much fun. However, there’s one issue that really needs to be fixed: the “Lost Connection” problem. Sometimes you get kicked from the match because of this error and end up losing your character completely. And in some cases, there isn’t even a reconnect option. Losing a character you’ve spent hours leveling up because of a connection issue is incredibly frustrating. I really think…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ melee nerfs. this game is just complete butt. they nerf it like winning and being able to kill zombies for fun makes it so much worse for them. butt munchers
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best part of this game is blowing your brains out in front of your friends. Button is K.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is really fun and I would really like to give it a thumbs up, I really do. But since this game has a permadeath system that also kills your character if you lose connection to the host, the game crashes, or any other way that forces you out of the match when it is out of your control, I have to give it a thumbs down. You can luckily equip a rescue beacon to save your character, but you shouldn't be forced to bring it along for every mission in case you get unlucky with game/host…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't recommend this game. I've lost more characters, tens of hours in each, to glitches and bugs than to actual deaths. I've beat missions and still lost characters. DO NOT GET THIS GAME. It is broken and even when you report bugs or ask for support the devs blow you off. Wish I could refund this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wouldn't bother with this game honestly. Already has less players than NMRIH 1 as of 28/03/2026. Lost multiple characters to bugs being trapped in crates for simply vaulting them among other bugs and disconnects leading to having to create a new character only for it to happen again, from what I understand reading forums these bugs have been around for a while. There are better ways to waste your time than this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best zombie games I've played in a long time! How they managed to make slow zombies scary again I don't know, and don't even get me started on running ones. A brilliant game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not complete or unforgiveable crap, but it gets in the way of it's own pros to create less than satisfying gameplay. This game has potential, it possesses game mechanics that are interesting, and puts them together in a manner that at first created an engaging experience. I don't mind the idea of permadeath, ranks, leveling the survivor, or extraction style gameplay. But I do mind the awful melee & movement, the lack of options in terms of game modes, and the fact that you don't get to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Now this is a cautious thumbs up because I think this game has the chance to be special if more content and polish keep coming, especially considering 1.0 is supposedly launching this Summer. If there's one thing this game does right, is the zombie threat: every single one must be treated seriously, since a single graze or bite can lead to infection; every room must be secured not to get cornered; every horde kited around carefully. Add to that the forward momentum maps offer as you complete…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've only played it a hand full of times so take it with a grain of salt but where is the singleplayer i understand it would be hard but everytime i have played so far it's a group of people who have maxxed characters and speedrun the map like they have got minutes to live, give it at try if you like playing online but if you like playing singleplayer for those extra tense moments i'd find something else

unlabelledView post →⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ — Would get eaten by zombies again. No More Room in Hell 2 is the perfect game if you’ve ever wondered, “What if Left 4 Dead had less hope, more panic, and teammates who communicate exclusively through screaming?” The zombies are terrifying, the guns feel chunky, and every mission starts with confidence and ends with someone yelling “RUN! RUN! RUN!” while I’m trying to reload. The best part is teamwork. Nothing builds friendship faster than watching your buddy get surrounded by zombies…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was fun while it lasted.... I've 90+ hours in with 1 character at 100 and 2 in the 90s. All had beacons on Saturday morning until I spawned into the first game only to get disconnected as I got to the supply crate....character was saved but lost the 2000 credit beacon. Didn't have enough credits to buy another beacon so switched player. Spawned in...and it happened again. So 2 players lost beacons due to server disconnect within 5 minutes of logging into the game on Saturday and I haven't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please, please redesign your game. Here are your problems. Combat is slow, clunky, inconsistent, and unsatisfying, which is a real problem when engagements are frequently forced and the zombies tend to respawn indefinitely. You can't clear safe zones, and with lower player counts, your pitiful swings will barely scrape by on even casual. The character's timing is lethargic, lacks weight, and seems to suffer incredible inaccuracy. It also doesn't seem to understand when an enemy is downed, or…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had High Hopes for this game but some updates feels like your getting your hopes up for a good update just to come back and the gameplay feels worse than before? The combat used to feel impactful, now when you hit enemies it feels like hitting them with a balloon animal. If I gotta take the time to overhead make it at least feel worthy, now im spamming light attacks like its chiv. Fix your game before you push the content out. Came back for the newest update 4/14/2026. Its funny this game…
