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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Far Cry New Dawn

Post-apocalyptic setting

A vividly colorful post-apocalyptic shooter set in a rebuilt Hope County, where you craft scrap weapons, upgrade your Prosperity base and battle the Highwaymen twins. Light RPG touches like enemy tiers and outpost expeditions put a twist on the familiar Far Cry formula.

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.

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.
