Brings what grabs you about Dead Rising 4: a post-apocalyptic setting, melee combat with weapons or fists and plenty 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.

Days Gone

Lavish presentation

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.

7 Days to Die

Sandbox with your own goals

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.

Arizona Sunshine II

Shooting and gunplay

A VR zombie shooter set in the Arizona desert where you mow down hordes with guns and a machete, accompanied by a dog companion. Gory, action-packed and darkly humorous, with co-op support.

Fallout 76

Sandbox with your own goals

An online Fallout set in the irradiated hills of Appalachia, where you explore a huge world solo or with friends, build camps, join public events and shape your character with perk cards. After a rocky launch, NPCs, factions and steady updates turned it into a lively post-apocalyptic sandbox.

Yakuza: Dead Souls

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A Yakuza spin-off where Kamurocho is overrun by a zombie outbreak. Four playable protagonists fight with guns and fists, alongside the series' typical side activities.

Once Human

Sandbox with your own goals

An open-world survival game set in a bizarre post-apocalyptic world where you gather resources, build bases and shoot mutated monsters, solo or with friends. It stands out for blending base building, loot-shooter style progression and surreal apocalyptic horror.

Sunset Overdrive

Lots of humour

A loud, colorful open-world action shooter where you grind across rooftops, wall-run and blast mutants with absurd weapons. The fluid traversal and irreverent humor set it apart.

Dead Island

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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.

SurrounDead

Shooting and gunplay

An open-world survival game set in a zombie-ridden apocalypse, where you scavenge for resources, find weapons and fight to stay alive against the undead.
