List of games about zombies: the best representatives of the genre

The style of the zombie genre has gained many fans - both among movie buffs and avid gamers. We’ll talk about films some other time. The topic of this article is computer games about zombies, and a lot of them have been released over the past ten years. There are successful and not very good ones, but in our field of vision there will only be a list of the best games about zombies, which means the highest quality, most realistic and most exciting.

No wonder our list of zombie games began with this multiplayer shooter from the creators of the famous HL2 entertainment. After all, this is not just a first-person game, but an online opportunity to fight the living dead, which looks amazingly realistic and spectacular. The zombies are not slow, but not too fast, although sometimes the battle ends faster than we would like and, alas, is not in your favor.

Dead raising

In this game you find yourself in a giant supermarket along with tens of thousands of dead. They do not shine with intelligence and move, as in slow motion. But the developers decided to focus on the imagination and sophistication of the players: after all, here you are offered a thousand and one ways to rid the world of the fiends of hell. By the way, this is not so simple as it might seem at first glance: if you find yourself in the thick of monsters thirsting for flesh, no weapon will help you anymore.

The list of zombie games continues this interesting third-person action game. In Stubbs the Zombie, you do not fight against corpses, but you play as one of them. In the face of an impressive character named Stubbs, you will have to feel all the “charms” of zombie life: look for your victims, fight them, sometimes in very funny ways, get a hail of bullets in your rotten body and the like.

Doom 3

Perhaps this is the most carefully traced and scary shooter of this series, which appeared in the early 2000s and became the ancestor of games in this genre in the first person. The action in it takes place on an abandoned Martian base, all the soldiers and scientists of which have turned into zombies. And the really chilling character is the darkness itself, from which characteristic sounds are sometimes heard ... So the list of games about zombies without Doom 3 from Id Software is certainly not complete by itself.

Plants vs Zombies

From eerie and atmospheric - to frivolous and casual. Our list of games about zombies would be poor without this very popular fun for gamers of all ages. You need to grow a variety of plants in the backyard of your house, which will become the main defenders when the living dead arrive. True, they are not at all scary, and sometimes very funny, but this does not detract from the frenzied popularity of the game. Plants vs Zombies bypasses even more expensive and large-scale horror projects.

Actually, this is not even one, but a whole series of games about living corpses, based on films of the same name. By the number of parts released Resident Evil breaks all records. Some modifications are quite worthy, while others deserve only disappointed reviews from players. For example, one of the last is Racoon City.

This article contains the best, in our opinion, games of the genre that are not tied to a specific time period. You can, of course, make a selection called "Zombie Games 2013". The list will be longer, because there are more and more such horror films every year, but is it just more interesting?
