Shared: Day-Night Cycle

Crash a plane, lose your son, then spend 30+ hours building spike traps and slowly losing your mind to cannibals. Solo or with up to 8 friends online, this one earns its Metacritic 83.

Shared: tier:sub-5

Shared: Day-Night Cycle

Parkour-driven zombie survival RPG with best-in-class movement, a meaty open world, and all major DLC packed in. Still holds up years after launch.
