Days Gone

Dead Island 2

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

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.

Post-apocalyptic setting

A brutal, atmospheric shooter set in the Chernobyl Zone, where faction wars, deadly anomalies and blowouts make survival a constant struggle. This prequel to Shadow of Chernobyl leans harder into faction warfare and tough firefights.
