Honorable Mentions

Below you’ll find a few games that we felt needed at least a brief callout.

  • Left 4 Dead 2 – One of the best (if not the best) zombie-killing games of all time. Unlike some of the others, this game was the #1 co-op game of 2008. Fight for your life alongside three other survivors with a variety of melee weapons and guns. Special zombies have abilities like vomiting noxious acid, ninja-like speed, super strength, and more.
  • Killing Floor 2 – If L4D2 doesn’t get it done from you, TKF 2 surely will, with 6-player co-op and 12-player versus survival mode. Slay zombies in style with regular player gear and weapon updates.
  • Rust – An open world, multiplayer survival game. Craft clothing, tools, and a shelter to keep your stuff safe. Hunt animals, takedown scientists, and hack zombie limbs to pieces with your friends in this 2018 classic.
  • S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat – Call of Pripyat is the direct sequel of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. Pick up from where you left off in the exclusion zone of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor that exploded in 1986. This game features a photorealistic exclusion Zone: all locations were recreated as true-to-life prototypes based on photographs, so history buffs can enjoy this immersive experience.

In conclusion, these are only a few of our favorites. Do you play one that you think is worth trying?  Message us.
