The zombie game of zombie games! Dead Rising is an incredible non-traditional survival horror that emphasizes on many mechanics not seen in other horror games. The biggest enemy? TIME! You are Frank West, trying to capture the ultimate scoop, all while doing your best to help those in need from this zombie hellscape that was once a flourishing shopping mall!

It's such a blast exploring the mall and using so many different kinds of items as a weapon, all while the screen shows literally hundreds of shambling zombies at once! The controls definitely take some getting used to, but slaying the undead feels so damn good! And the story is very interesting as well. Unlike its Resident Evil relative, Dead Rising does not rely on a single memo to tell its tale of flesh-eaters and capitalism.

The PC version is considerably the best to go with, although it has a couple noticeable flubs. PS4 is a satisfactory experience as well.
