Ah, zombies! The most overused modern monster in any medium. Despite that, I can’t get enough of the zombie apocalypse. However, in my opinion, most creators miss the mark by turning their projects into mindless zombie slaughters, without any of the famous tension or civilization-ending dread from the Romero days. Yet, there are some titles that headshot their way to great atmosphere and storytelling!
So, here are my Top 10 Zombie Games for PC.

While being a fun video, it’s one of the best showcases to symbolize the decay of fun, and somewhat edgy video-game characters. All to fit a “modern audience” (whatever that entails). A character that is now not even allowed to be a little cheeky towards the opposite sex. It’s a tough world when not even a self-assured super agent like Leon is given a pass in this sanitized age. What makes this video so great is that the modern remake is essentially the same game as the classic Resident Evil 4, but with a re-written protagonist to not run the risk of offending anyone.
He is not the only one in the cast to be neutered, but he is the stand-out character in this case. Although I enjoyed the Resident Evil 4 Remake, much of the cool 1990 to early 2000s personality was erased, to be replaced by a boring semi-depressive hero, rather than the collected one-line spouting badass that he once was. Check out the great video below, by the channel TerakJK.

The craze for more indie survival horror games continues unabated with Liminal Point by the two-man developer team HideWorks. The game is far from release, being set to launch next year according to Steam. However, a five-minute trailer was recently released with uncut gameplay, which allows for a peek into the mechanics, and the setting.
From what I can tell from the gameplay shown, it will be a top-down isometric experience, with a striking looking female protagonist. Gameplay, and tone seems to be a blend of classic horror a la Resident Evil, accompanied by a psychological aspect much like Silent Hill 2. The combat also seems to be somewhat more involved than the usual survival horror title. Melee seems to be skill-based, requiring dodges and timing when to attack. Overall, things are looking very promising. Down below, you can take a look at the trailer yourself at the survivalhorrors channel.

There have been many survival horror games made in the style of Resident Evil, with crunchy PlayStation aesthetics. But most have felt lacking, not living up to the hard-to-reach legacy of the past. So, I’m glad to say, after giving the demo for Phase Zero a go, it shows true potential for the future, while feeling like survival horror from the golden era.

If you are ever in a mood for some true Resident Evil in movie format, look no further. Biohazard 4D-Executer is a masterpiece and is what the Hollywood movies fail to convey: tension and Resident Evil branded horror. It’s a movie produced by Capcom back in 2000, and it’s made entirely in juicy late 90s CGI. The original upload on YouTube is old, grainy, and has a bad aspect ratio, stretching the 4:3 format to 16:9 unnaturally. In other words, it looks bad on more than one front. So, I have linked an upscaled version down below, that’s actually in the correct format, making the viewing experience much better. Enjoy!
