I played this game this past weekend, it was very fun and I really liked it. The game gives you a lot of freedom since you aren't limited to classes you can do whatever the hell you want with your character. I didn't have to grind, just doing the quests gave me enough Ability and Skill points to conquer the next quests.
I was only able to play for a while, heading to the first area, Kingsmouth. Which is a town in the New England area that has been cursed by zombies and some weird marine monsters, the environment all around that town is quite eerie. When I was weak, I hated jogging across the zombie infested woods and traveling by the monster overrun coast. I tasted a bit of the second area, which is a larger community near the Kingsmouth. This second place also had stronger zombies, some devils and, upon reaching the local academy, specters and zombies of old alumni.
The quests are also very entertaining, besides the classic "kill around 10 of this kind" (which don't take a lot), there are also quests that have you investigate an area and find specific items. Easier quests mark the area on your minimap in which said goal is found, but there are other difficult quests that only give you a hint and you gotta use your head to figure out.
An example of a hard quest, was one where I was told to reach the top of a pyramid. I tried remembering some structure that resembled a pyramid or triangle, the only thing I came up with was a Lighthouse, but that was not it. So I opened the map and searched around. There was a landmark around the coast called Pyramid Point, I headed over there and upon reaching the point, I received another hint of the next location. Fun stuff.
I think this is the last weekend Beta, so if you're interested in a free taste of this game, be sure to check it out!
