These are so loving cool i saw one on Steam that was called "I Zombies" and there was an epic zombie on it. "Day Z" is another great zombie game so is "Left 4 Dead 2" and "Rust" used to be but they turned them into mutated animals. Anyways, talk about how epic Zombies are in here, and The Walking Dead telltale game.

The Walking Dead Tell Tale Game Hit Me Straight in the Feels. Love the story elements of that game, and Clim is a very good character. And the old black guy when he dies, good lord I was on the verge of tears. Have a good one OP.

The mosty striking element of that game to me was when you played it multiple times to change how events unfolded.


then you find out the same exact poo poo happens its just someone else playing the various roles in the conversations



its like a big metaphor for how little control over life we all truly have.

In Stalker, Call of Pripyat, which is also a zombie game, your choices change things quite significantly. Give it a go if you absolutely need some kind of feedback instead of just enjoying a great story.

Don't get me wrong, I had a good time with The Walking Dead, but everyone was selling me on how great of a job they did making your choices matter when they should have been selling me on how great of a job they did crafting perfectly flawed characters. I spent nearly the whole game just getting frustrated at them for acting out of emotions rather than logic and in around episode 3 it clicked with me that everyone was being intentionally idiots because that's how people act.

I played Witcher 2 by trying to avoid combat as much as possible. There's something for everyone, even in the worst games.

I played Left 4 Dead once and really enjoyed it. I played it a whole bunch after, but it never felt as fun after that.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I appreciate the cannon fodder approach to zombies that Dead Rising takes. Big, dumb hordes of squishy former shoppers are the way to go. I like Dead Space too, but are those enemies really zombies? Or is Isaac the real zombie??

every once in a while I think I want a remake


then I remember it would probably a first person survival game with lovely crafting elements


but they could at least give the dude the new 3d glasses instead that would be a cool touch of polish

get that OUT of my face

Has anyone played the recent game How 2 Survive? It was a top-down, twin stick zombie shooter that supported two players, and it had an item building mechanic and gauges for thirst/hunger/sleep. You spend game time turning tires into body armor and using nuts and bolts as ammo while looking for sources of clean, fresh water and safe houses in which to sleep. My gf and I had a lot of fun playing through the game, and I think anyone who pines for another Zombies Ate My Neighbors should check it out.

Here's a video of the beginning:

In this game you run over zombies and also get literal swords on the side of your car with which to kneecap zombies. It's alright.

trust me, I'm a cat.

Zombie Shooter is the dumbest game but is good, it's like Crimsonland only with actual levels, weapon shops and zombies. Iirc the final boss is a giant zombie with dual rocket launchers and you kill him in similar way to Gargantua in HL.

Welcome
To my game
I put zombies in it
for your pain.

They come shambling out
from the soil.
You'd better shoot them
or you're gonna die.

'Cause I made
A game
with zombies in it
yeah yeah

You mean by shooting it in the testicles repeatedly? Guess I'll check that out.
