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 3

Lots of humour

A chaotic zombie sandbox set in Los Perdidos where you combine everyday objects into absurd weapons and vehicles and mow down huge hordes. Dark humor and a ticking clock define the experience.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster

Post-apocalyptic setting

You are thrown into a shopping mall overrun by zombies with only a few days to rescue survivors. Chaotic melee combat with whatever is lying around, mixed with dark slapstick humor, is what makes it special.

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.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Post-apocalyptic setting

An atmospheric survival shooter set in the Zone around Pripyat, where you dodge anomalies, hunt artifacts and fight mutants and rival stalker factions. Its open hubs, consequential side quests and oppressive mood make it a cult classic.

Death Trash

Post-apocalyptic setting

A grim pixel-art action RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world full of mutants and cosmic horror. It blends old-school RPG freedom with real-time combat and a handcrafted world to explore.

Days Gone

Post-apocalyptic setting

As biker Deacon St. John you roam a Freaker-infested Oregon, maintaining your motorcycle and surviving massive hordes that flood entire valleys. A gritty, emotional story about loss and loyalty set in a tense open world.

State of Decay

Post-apocalyptic setting

A zombie survival game in an open world where you build up a home base, scavenge supplies and manage a roster of survivors with their own skills. Death is permanent for fallen characters, which gives every decision weight.
