Dead Rising 4

Lots of humour

As photojournalist Frank West you smash through zombie hordes in a Christmas-themed Willamette, improvising absurd weapons from everyday objects and exo-suits. The tone is goofy and over the top, with the fun coming from chaotic sandbox carnage.

How to Survive

Strong character progression

An isometric zombie survival action game on an island chain where you manage hunger, thirst and sleep while crafting makeshift weapons from scavenged junk. Kovac's tongue-in-cheek survival guide and couch co-op keep it lighthearted.

Dead Rising 2

Lots of humour

Maneater

Strong character progression

Watch Dogs 2

Lots to discover

As hacker Marcus and his irreverent DedSec crew, you roam a sunny San Francisco Bay Area, tackling missions with drones, remote hacks, or guns. Its playful tone and satirical jabs at Silicon Valley set it apart from its gloomy predecessor.

Borderlands 4

Strong character progression

A colorful looter-shooter sending Vault Hunters to the new planet Kairos, packed with endless procedurally generated guns, deep skill trees and a now seamless open world with expanded movement. It shines brightest as chaotic co-op mayhem with friends.
