Zombie Army 4: Dead War was one of our favorite games of 2020. We compared the shooter to “Left-4-Dead” with “zombie sharks,” giving special mention to its “varied levels with jaw-dropping designs, and progression systems for perks and weapon upgrades,” among other things. 

Rebellion has done a good job of supporting the game post-launch as well. They’ve released a number of DLCs that include anthropomorphic bats and undead zeppelins. If you’ve yet to jump into the game but have always wanted to, now’s a great time.
