Parkour across a zombie-infested city where daytime rooftop runs turn into tense nighttime survival against the infected. Brutal melee combat and faction choices that reshape whole districts define the experience.

Saints Row: The Third

Lots of humour

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.

Dead Island 2

Lots of humour

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.

Far Cry 5

Lavish presentation

An open-world shooter set in rural Montana where you liberate Hope County from a fanatical doomsday cult, using companions, vehicles and improvisation. Chaotic sandbox action meets an unsettling, dark story, playable in full co-op.

Risen 2: Dark Waters

Lots of humour

Piranha Bytes' pirate RPG sends a one-eyed hero across tropical islands, joining factions and fighting sea monsters with cutlass, pistol and voodoo. Rough around the edges but full of salty humor and classic Gothic-style freedom.

State of Decay 2

Strong character progression

An open-world zombie survival game where you build and manage a community of survivors, scavenge supplies and upgrade your base. Permanent death for characters gives every decision weight, and you can play solo or in co-op.

Dead Island

Action-packed real-time combat

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.

Far Cry 3

Lavish presentation

An open tropical-island shooter where you liberate outposts by stealth or force, hunt wildlife to craft gear and grow your skills. It is anchored by a disturbing descent into madness and the unforgettable villain Vaas.

Saints Row 2

Lots of humour

A chaotic gangster sandbox where you lead the Saints in retaking Stilwater from rival gangs, mixing outrageous humor and wild side activities like insurance fraud with a surprisingly brutal revenge story. The entire campaign is playable in co-op.
