  • Since I was young, I’ve played many different zombie games from State of Decay to Dying Light, and so I decided to rank them all here today with a few Resident Evil games included!

      Solid opinion dying light 2 took out mostly all the things that were absolutely amazing about 1 and loaded it with more paywalls than 1 ever had which was close to nothing besides a few optional skins and amazing dlcs that let’s be honest why would you want to pay for that

    Dying light 1 is by far the best zombie game. Nothing comes close to it IMO, plus it got supported with tons of stuff. Honestly a goat game. I don’t think any game will emulate it for a good while. 😀
    RE4 was also my fav RE, played it on the ps2 back in the day, can’t wait for the remake. Also this is your list, you pick whatever you like the most man, don’t let others make you think different, nothing is controversial about your preference. :D

      @@backboardfilms Sorry you feel that way. Project zomboid's NPC mods are pretty shit, unfortunately. They don't have the same level of depth that NPCs in State of Decay present. I'm not sure if you played State of Decay or State of Decay YOSE. If you only played the first State of Decay, then I could see why you would consider it buggy & boring, but State of Decay YOSE is the most updated version with all the DLC, bug fixes and graphical updates. I didn't encounter any bugs at all in the 293 hours that I have in it. Like I stated, I'd easily rank it an A. It has a lot of stuff that is lacking in many other zombie games. The survivor management aspect being the most noteworthy in addition to permadeath.

    Meh not the worst list I'd ever seen. Missing quite a few zombie games. Such as the other Resident Evil games, Zombi, Survivalist, House of the Dead, Dead State, Contagion, Last Stand, Daymare, Obscure, Evil Within, Back 4 Blood and a ton of other indie games. But I can't blame you if you just hadn't played these games, but I think it would have made your list a little more concrete since some of the ones I just mentioned are pretty bad (i.e. Back 4 Blood deserves to be C or even D tier) and it might have elevated some of your other titles if you added some truly bad zombie games.

    IDK how such a big title can produce such an ASS game, I was so disappointed coz I remember growing up as a kid and watching people play dead island and I really really wanted to play but didn't get the money, and as I grew up I just kinda forgot that it existed, so imagine my excitment when I found out that it's free on steam, and imagine my disappointment after playing it for 4 hours
