1. State of Decay

Run Forrest, run!

A third person action game set in a dynamic open world, State of Decay combines survival horror, stealth, and social simulation elements in one grim package. And it will throw not just swarms of man-eating undead at you, but every other problem you can expect from living in the zombie apocalypse.

State of Decay allows players to test their zombie survival methods. When not looting abandoned supermarkets, you can trade with other survivors, scavenge, or manufacture your own stuff at your base.

That base needs growing of course, but developing a variety of special facilities for it is a team effort, not something you can do solo. Thankfully there are AI survivors who, upon rescue, will gladly join your cause. It’s nice to have friends in a world ruled by the dead!

As you can guess, leadership plays a significant role in this game. How well you guide your group determines whether you become zombie food or not. And as much as you want to avoid zombies, there are times when you have no choice but to kill them. Leave a horde alone for too long, and they can infest an area, which in turn will prove demolishing to you group’s morale.

Definitely one of the best games for those who want to experience what it’s like surviving in the zombie apocalypse!
