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.

Dying Light

Post-apocalyptic setting

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.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Post-apocalyptic setting

An atmospheric survival shooter set in the Zone around Pripyat, where you dodge anomalies, hunt artifacts and fight mutants and rival stalker factions. Its open hubs, consequential side quests and oppressive mood make it a cult classic.

Dead Trash

Dread and tension

A survival action horror game set in a ruined, locked-down city overrun by mindless infected, where you fight with a hammer and firearms. Metadata is sparse, so this rating is conservative.

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.

Metro Exodus: Enhanced Edition

Post-apocalyptic setting

You roam the irradiated Russian wilderness as Artyom through vast, non-linear levels, following a story that spans a full year. Tense gunfights, stealth and survival horror moments combine with a bleak, immersive post-apocalyptic atmosphere.
