StaceyPowers Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Which games have handled undead/zombies/infected/similar enemies the best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Coolest undead, idk, maybe Pyramid Head in Silent Hill. I don't play many horror games sadly. I would also add the tank from Left 4 Dead. As for the games that have done it the best, the TLOU, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, and I'm drawing a blank on others. I know there are more.

Withywarlock Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) It's because of this enemy that I'm probably going to give up trying to escape them and begin a new playthrough when better prepared, but the Skeleton Beast from Dark Souls is one of the coolest monsters I've ever seen. Essentially it's a giant skeleton on all fours that swipes and leaps at the player, which isn't too scary in itself save for the damage it does. It's more that you can't see it until it's too late, even with the lantern that illuminates the unnatural darkness within the cave. I say "one of", but contendors in addition to the Skeleton Beast include the Bone Tower, the eldritch equivilant of a Pokey; and the Wheel Skeleton, or "zoombies" as I call them for their immense speed shooting out of the darkness.

Peterlight Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 The huge monster from resident evil always keeps upgrading somehow, I find it difficult to kill almost all the time I encounter it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 The volatiles in Dying Light are nuts! They come out at night and super hard to kill. So either run or hide. And when you run, you can hear them right behind you. I have to give credit to the big zombie hordes in Days Gone. It's scary when they spot you and they all chase you. Your stamina runs low often, so you can't run too long. And you obviously don't want to be on your bike and create noise to draw them. As far as cool looking, the closest it is to looking real is pretty awesome for me. Monsters that look like humans freak me out. RE 7 did a good job. But to have zombies in the most real sense like in hazmat suits, other first responders that didn't make it, in worker uniforms, regular people in zombie form revealing how they may have died in the first place. Ever watch the tv series Z Nation with all those cool types of zombies? That's what I love to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Some Zelda entries did a really good job with the Stalfos knights. There was a game I played once that, I shit you not, had an undead monkey in it. Kinda like the monkey Jack in Pirates Of The Caribbean. But it wasn't a POTC game. I wish I could remember it. Also I can't leave the lord of the undead off this list, the Count himself, Dracula. He has style, finesse, class, elegance, and just what a girl needs to fall head over heels.

Heatman Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 It's definitely going to be The Husks in Mass Effect. These creatures are so formidable that they can deliver EMP blasts which makes them difficult on battle field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
