6. 7 Days to Die

7 Days to Die Live Action Trailer

The Third World War satisfied everyone’s expectations by obliterating the vast majority of the planet and leaving only tiny patches of quasi-inhabitable land. Unfortunately, it also brought about a zombie apocalypse as well, and in 7 Days to Die, players awaken in a fictional Arizona county called Navesgane and are forced to scavenge for food, water, and weapons.

Everything degrades in this game: you get thirsty and hungry, growing weaker if you don’t eat, weapons and tools wear down and break and must be repaired or replaced, and the structures you build require upkeep and maintenance, not to mention sound construction, or they will collapse.  Zombies are slower in the daytime, but faster when the sun goes down, and they become faster and more aggressive as you get further into the game.
