Dead Island 2

Action-packed real-time combat

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 3

Action-packed real-time combat

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.

Dying Light

Dark, serious atmosphere

First-person parkour zombie survival where you free-run across Harran's rooftops by day, scavenging and crafting brutal weapons, then flee terrifying hunters at night. Fluid movement and gritty melee shine even more in co-op.

Dying Light: The Beast

Action-packed real-time combat

Kyle Crane returns to hunt for revenge across an open, zombie-infested valley, mixing fluid parkour, brutal melee combat and terrifying nights. His beast powers let him periodically unleash a savage, monstrous fighting mode.

Dead Frontier

Dark, serious atmosphere

A free browser-based MMO set in a zombie-ridden wasteland where you gather weapons, upgrade gear, and fight the undead or other players, solo or with friends.

7 Days to Die

Strong character progression

A zombie survival sandbox built on crafting, looting, base building and skill progression, where every seventh night a massive horde tests your fortifications. Played solo or in co-op, it blends first-person shooting with tower-defense tension.

Evil Dead: The Game

Action-packed real-time combat

An asymmetrical 4v1 horror game set in the Evil Dead universe: play Ash and friends hunting artifacts and fighting demons, or take the role of the Kandarian Demon and torment the survivors. Packed with gore, chainsaws and dark humor.
