Dying Light 2: Stay Human

Post-apocalyptic setting

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.

Dead Island

Post-apocalyptic setting

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.

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.

State of Decay 2

Open world

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.

Project Zomboid

Post-apocalyptic setting

An unforgiving zombie survival sandbox where you loot, build, craft and train skills until your inevitable death. Its deep simulation and highly customisable rules turn every run into a personal survival story, solo or with friends.

Sons of the Forest

Dread and tension

Stranded on a remote island, you craft, build and fight to survive while cannibals and mutants hunt you. Play solo or in co-op, delve into dark caves, and fortify a base, with AI companions helping along the way.

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

Post-apocalyptic setting

A punishing survival shooter set in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, where deadly anomalies, mutants and rival factions wait around every corner. You scavenge for gear, hunt rare artifacts and make decisions that shape the story, all wrapped in a thick, oppressive atmosphere.

Dying Light: The Beast

Post-apocalyptic setting

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.
