The main feature of the project can be called the elements crafting and parkour, which impressed many critics when the game was released. Crazy jumps, breathtaking views from high-rise buildings and an exciting quest chain will make you return to the metropolis of Harran from time to time.
Days gone
At one time, a bold project from Sony was expected with great caution, since it wore slogan “Life after The Last of Us”… Many feared failure from a large company, but in vain, because Days Gone brought life to an ominous and “lifeless” genre.
There are two things in this game that are able to impress and bewitch – a sentimental story devoid of typical clichés, and a story. The latter, by the way, can lure you for a long time, because you will never get bored of accelerating across vast expanses and crushing zombies with powerful wheels.

This is one of the craziest action titles that allows the player to wreak havoc with fun.
Perhaps this is the only game that stands out from the rest – its atmosphere is not depressing, but rather even a little fun because of the many fun ways to deal with zombies.
The Dead Rising series has never been story-driven, although it certainly is! The openness of the world, an extensive tree for pumping skills, a well-coordinated crafting system and much more are what takes players away from completing the main story for the sake of pleasure and other positive emotions.
7 days to die
7 days to die – there is no story more beautiful in the world than the story of zombies and multiplayer mode. Not foldable, but true. Surprisingly, at the moment, the project from The Fun Pimps can be called one of the longest lived online works on the subject of a zombie apocalypse.
The main feature of 7 Days to Die is the so-called “bloody moon”, in which a huge horde of the dead strives to settle players, wanting to destroy all life in the built open world. And each time there are only more of them.
There are no significant and insignificant places in this rating, since each game reviewed deserves special attention. Here anyone can find tense moments, exciting events, funny skirmishes and an uncontrollable sea of emotions. The main thing is to want to learn about everything in a slightly deeper and larger scale.
