Best zombie games – 10 zombie survival games to satisfy your hunger for braaains

The zombie game is a theme rather than a genre, so below we’ll span shooters, strategies, adventure games, more shooters, and a horticultural simulator.

Zombie survival games are, like their subject matter, many in number and liable to overwhelm an individual. You need help picking out the best zombie games, and like the laconic character who pulls the clueless protagonist in off the street in the first act of every zombie movie, we’re here to help. 

The zombie game is a theme rather than a genre, so below we’ll span shooters, strategies, adventure games, more shooters, and a horticultural simulator. They get everywhere, you know. And while we’d dearly love to include Half-Life mod They Hunger on this list as an entry of its own, because it was really a ground-breaker in pastiching zombie cinema via the medium of a shooter, it’s not the easiest experience to get running these days. Consider yourself namechecked though, They Hunger. 

As for its sequel? Yes, there are zombies. And there’s Ravenholm, of course. But that universe has always been about so much more, so it would feel reductive to put it in this list. The games that do feature here, however, are proudly about Thriller video backing dancers and revel in that sharpness of focus.

‘Resident Evil 7’ ships over 10 million units, setting a new bar for the series

Wow, Resident Evil is popular or something, guys.

Capcom announced that Resident Evil 7  shipments surpassed the 10 million mark, setting a new milestone for the series.

A press release from Capcom states that some well-timed sales and hype for Resident Evil Village  helped Resident Evil 7 reach this new peak.

“Capcom worked on strategic pricing for the title through seasonal and event-driven discounts in order to strengthen demand among a wider range of game players,” Capcom said. “Further, in May 2021 when Capcom released the sequel and latest title in the series, Resident Evil Village, it executed promotions to leverage synergies between the two titles such as with the release of a bundle containing both games.”

To clarify, “shipping” does not mean Resident Evil 7 has sold over 10 million units, just that demand for the game is high!

Interestingly, these figures come only a week after Capcom’s President and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto said  the company wants the PC to be its primary platform. Considering how often Resident Evil 7 is on Steam sales, it’s likely that PC copies make up a good chunk of people playing the game.

It’ll be interesting to see if the growing popularity of the series will help Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City, the new live-action Resident Evil film, be a hit in theaters. 

Hopefully, this means more survival-horror-centric Resident Evil  games are on the way.
