Dead Rising was a game that I originally played back in 2016, but had given up due to its difficult nature. But after picking it back up again recently, it clicked. The zombies are satisfying to hack through, and gaining tons of pp for completing missions and killing zombies is satisfying. The leveling system is a unique idea that works very well in the game, and differentiates it from other games that used a skill tree system. The story in this game manages to be serious while also being slightly silly with the psychos thrown in the mix. The main issues of this game stem from survivor AI, especially when trying to lead the max amount at once. And the only way to counteract this shit AI is to spam triangle/y over and over to make sure they stay close. Not to mention every survivor is pretty incompetent at handling themselves. The end game also drags on for way longer than it should, having to collect queens and avoid being kidnapped by the special operatives. Frank is an awesome character, and he is at his strongest writing wise in this game, compared to Off the Record and 4.
