  • Lots of humour
  • Open world
  • Action-packed real-time combat

As Chuck Greene you hack through a zombie-infested casino city under a strict timer, duct-taping everyday items into ridiculous combo weapons. The ticking clock, rescuable survivors and psychopath bosses create a unique blend of pressure and gleeful dark comedy.

Dead Island 2

Lavish presentation

Gory first-person melee mayhem across a sun-soaked, zombie-infested Los Angeles, built around a remarkably detailed dismemberment system and crafted weapon mods. Its tone leans toward tongue-in-cheek B-movie satire rather than true horror.

Dead Rising

Lots of humour

As photojournalist Frank West you fight a zombie-infested shopping mall against a ticking clock, turning almost anything into a weapon. A tight 72-hour timer, goofy humor and eccentric bosses define the experience.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero

Lots of humour

A short prelude to Dead Rising 2 where ex-motocross champ Chuck Greene races against the clock in a zombie-infested town. You combine everyday objects into absurd weapons and carve through hordes with a darkly comic tone.

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.

Saints Row

Open world

A chaotic open-world shooter set in the desert city of Santo Ileso, where you and your friends build a criminal empire from scratch. Over-the-top action, humor and heavy customization take center stage.

Saints Row: The Third

Open world

An over-the-top open-world sandbox where the Saints take over Steelport with absurd weapons, outrageous stunts and relentless silliness. It never takes itself seriously and can be played entirely in co-op.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

Open world

An explosive open-world shooter where you play a mercenary in a war-torn Venezuela, working for rival factions. You blow things up, hijack vehicles and profit from chaos, with heavy destruction and tongue-in-cheek humor.

Dead Island

Strong character progression

A tropical holiday resort turns into a zombie nightmare: you brutally melee your way across the open island of Banoi with crafted and modded weapons, level up your survivor, and ideally team up with up to three friends in co-op.

Maneater

Strong character progression

You play a shark that eats its way through an open-world Gulf Coast, growing and mutating as it feeds. A satirical reality-TV narrator and satisfying evolution upgrades define the experience.
