12) 7 Days to Die

“7 Days to Die” was released on June 28th, 2016 and quickly became a very successful game in the survival genre. This is partly due to the fact that while it is a survival game it also has aspects of the following genres: RPG, Tower Defense, FPS, and Horror. There is of course, an intricate crafting system, sandbox building qualities, and plenty of exploring and collecting.

Look amazing while you blow the heads off of some zombie scum.

So why are we trying to survive? Well, a Third World War escalated to the point where nuclear bombs were used. All of the world collapsed to ruin, except for a country called Navezgane, Arizona.  The nuclear explosions caused creatures to become mutants, and of course zombies make a big presence in “7 Days to Die”. Any food you catch or cook will attract these vicious zombies, making every meal your possible last. Oh, and by the way, the zombies are at their best during the night, so hopefully you can make a decent shelter and effective traps. Because these zombie can hop walls, tear down doors, and dig underground just to get to you.

Your enemies won’t be pretty, careless, or weak. They will be bloody, strategic, and strong.

The main goal in this game is to survive (with or without other players). There’s no time to try and dissect how everything happened, or if there's a way to reverse it. Survival is key, and there are many threats waiting for you. Hope you aren’t afraid of the dark.
