The pinnacle of the zombie game genre is undoubtedly The Last of Us 2, a game that served as the basis for a successful series
The zombie game genre was once very popular in the gaming industry, and we encountered the undead at every turn. The times of the zombie apocalypse as the main theme of video games are over, but we still have remnants in the form of great pieces that are worth playing even several years after their release. Zombie games are diverse – sometimes they are action shooters, other times stealth survival games with a single goal: to survive. Our list is a cross-section of the most successful zombie video games, all revolving around the central theme of the undead, but each offering a completely different and unique experience.
The Last of Us
Both parts of the game series
The Last of Us are the best that the zombie survival game genre can offer if you are looking for a really strong and elaborate story. The journey through America, which, like the rest of the world, faced a zombie apocalypse, poses many dangers for Joel and Ellie. The storytelling, graphic design, and gameplay are all phenomenal.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human
An action
RPG game where the main elements are dangerous zombies and parkour? That is
Dying Light 2 Stay Human, set in an open and interesting world. The game mechanics are sophisticated, and the climbing and jumping feel natural. The fights are somewhat more action-packed, and in the grim world after the zombie apocalypse, your enemies are not only the undead but also other people.
Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead
One of the most popular series with the undead, The Walking Dead, is a phenomenon today. The game series
Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead tries to build on its success, but it does not follow the main actors of the television adaptation. It deals with completely new characters trying to survive in a world full of living dead. The story is interesting and is more like an interactive film in typical Telltale animated graphics.
Dead Island 2
The idyll of a sunny island can turn into a nightmare during one night with the outbreak of a zombie apocalypse. This is demonstrated by the game
Dead Island 2, where you find yourself in such a tourist resort. You can invite one of your friends to play together and overcome the dangers of a city infested with hungry undead. You have an incredible number of weapons at your disposal, and the gameplay is really fun. The graphic design strives to be as realistic as possible, which is also reflected in the enormous amount of blood and severed limbs.
Left 4 Dead 2
The best way to face hordes of bloodthirsty zombies is in a group of friends. The zombie shooter
Left 4 Dead 2 from 2009 can still entertain up to four players for hours. The goal is to shoot your way through the hordes of undead and reach the given goal. Even today, the game can boast a fairly active player base, and it is no wonder: it is one of the best games of its kind. Be warned, though – these zombies don’t drag like stench, but run incredibly fast!
