Zombies

2019 · Survival Horror · PC / Steam

Resident Evil 2 Remake transforms a 1998 classic into a modern survival horror masterpiece, delivering relentless tension through brilliant level design, terrifying enemy encounters, and an atmosphere so thick you could cut it with a combat knife.

2012 · Adventure · PC / Steam

Telltale's The Walking Dead redefined narrative adventure games through the relationship between Lee and Clementine, delivering one of gaming's most emotionally devastating stories in a format where every choice feels like it matters, even when the illusion of control is part of the design.

2013 · Survival · PC / Steam

Project Zomboid is the most uncompromising zombie survival game available, simulating everything from nutrition and mental health to vehicle mechanics and carpentry in a sandbox where your death is inevitable but every run tells a unique story of how long you lasted.

2009 · Co-op FPS · PC / Steam

Left 4 Dead 2 defined cooperative zombie shooting in 2009 and still hasn't been surpassed at its own game more than fifteen years later. The AI Director keeps runs unpredictable, the pacing hits a rhythm that modern imitators struggle to match, and the Workshop mod scene has multiplied the content well beyond what Valve originally shipped. Public lobbies can be rough on newcomers, so bringing friends is the recommended approach. It's one of those rare games where age has become a feature rather than a flaw, and the price of entry makes it an easy recommendation for anyone with a group ready to shoot zombies.

2010 · First-Person Shooter · PC / Steam

Call of Duty: Black Ops delivered a campaign with genuine narrative ambition, a multiplayer suite that refined the franchise's best ideas, and the Zombies mode that would become a pillar of the series. Treyarch's Cold War setting gave the game a distinct identity within the franchise, and the story's psychological elements pushed the campaign beyond standard military shooter territory. The PC port has aging technical issues and the price remains stubbornly high for a fifteen-year-old game, but the overall package represents one of the strongest entries in Call of Duty's history.

2002 · Danny Boyle · 113 min · Horror

28 Days Later reinvented the zombie film by making it fast, raw, and terrifyingly human. Danny Boyle's handheld, digital aesthetic turned post-apocalyptic London into a waking nightmare, and the film's real horror comes not from the infected but from what ordinary people become when civilization collapses.

2012 · Sam Fell · 92 min · Animation

ParaNorman is a spooky, funny, and surprisingly moving stop-motion film that uses its zombie movie exterior to tell a story about tolerance, bullying, and the danger of mob mentality. It's a gateway horror film for kids that treats its young audience with more respect than most live-action horror treats adults.

2025 · Danny Boyle · 115 min · Horror / Drama

28 Years Later reunites Danny Boyle and Alex Garland for a sequel that cares less about infected hordes than about how a boy learns what death means. Nearly three decades after the rage virus emptied Britain, young Spike leaves his island village for the mainland, and the film he's in keeps shape-shifting around him, from folk horror to war memory collage to a devastating hospice drama built on a magnificent Ralph Fiennes performance. It's the boldest studio horror film in years and also one of the messiest, with tonal swerves and a franchise-baiting finale that split audiences hard. Ambition this size rarely comes tidy.

2019 · Real-Time Strategy · PC / Steam

They Are Billions delivers one of the most punishing and rewarding colony defense experiences on PC. The survival mode is a masterclass in tension, where a single breach in your walls can end hours of careful planning in seconds. A disappointing campaign mode and limited late-game variety hold it back from greatness, but the core loop of building, defending, and sweating through each wave is strong enough to justify the price of admission for strategy fans who like their stakes high.

2016 · Co-op Shooter · PC

Killing Floor 2 is a masterclass in wave-based horde survival, with best-in-class gore technology, weighty gunplay, and a perk system that rewards long-term dedication, though its wave structure can feel repetitive over long sessions.

2024 · Survival · PC / Steam

7 Days to Die merges zombie survival with tower defense through its signature horde nights, creating a satisfying loop of scavenging, building, and defending that becomes addictive once the seven-day cycle clicks, despite rough edges that persist through its long development history.

2015 · 1-6 Players · ~60-180 min · Cooperative

Zombicide: Black Plague takes the proven zombie-killing formula and drops it into a medieval fantasy setting with excellent miniatures and accessible cooperative gameplay. It shines brightest with a full table of friends who want action-heavy fun without hours of rules explanation, though its reliance on dice and limited strategic depth may leave experienced gamers wanting more.

2020 · 2-4 Players · ~20 min · Cooperative

Zombie Teenz Evolution brings legacy game excitement to a younger audience, wrapping an evolving cooperative zombie defense in a package that kids can drive while keeping parents genuinely engaged.

2020 · Survival Horror · PC / Steam

Resident Evil 3 Remake delivers a polished, thrilling ride through Raccoon City with excellent character work for Jill and Carlos and some of the series' best action gameplay. It also ends before it feels like it's properly started, and the Nemesis never becomes the unpredictable force that defined the original. As a standalone action horror game it's a blast, but the shadow of both its predecessor and its companion RE2 Remake looms large over everything it does.

2010 · 11 Seasons · AMC · Horror Drama

The Walking Dead delivered some of television's most iconic moments and proved zombies could anchor a prestige drama, but its eleven-season run was wildly inconsistent, with stretches of brilliance separated by seasons that tested even devoted fans' patience.

2012 · 1-6 Players · ~60 min · Cooperative Miniatures Game

Zombicide delivers exactly what the box promises: a fast, loud, cooperative zombie survival game that runs on dice and adrenaline. The miniatures look great, the difficulty escalates in satisfying ways, and the scenario variety keeps groups coming back for more. Randomness and rulebook issues hold it back from true greatness, but this is a game that knows what it wants to be and commits fully. If you want a zombie game night without hours of rules overhead, Zombicide earns its spot on the shelf.
