Best Zombie Games Ever Made
In recent years, zombies have become one of the most common monsters in games: they are reanimated corpses that can infect healthy people through bites, rapidly spreading the zombie virus and creating numerous armies of the living dead.
This list includes all shooters, strategies, simulators, RPGs, and games of other genres whose plots tell about the zombie apocalypse and its consequences. They allow players to take on the role of either a well-armed fighter against a dangerous virus or, on the contrary, a helpless survivor.
