Dying Light
Dying Light is the only game on this list that offers full-fledged melee combat, with a host of moves and attacks that are certain to please…viscerally, that is.
Set in a vast and dangerous open-world setting in a Mediterranean city presumably somewhere in Turkey, Dying Light takes place in the event of a zombie apocalypse (at least for the city) that's under quarantine.
The game makes clever use of a day-and-night cycle, inviting players to roam during the day while avoiding hordes of mindless flesh-hungry zombies while gathering supplies, or at night, where the infected grow in strength and nocturnal predators come out to hunt you down. With missions that take place all across the day and night, you must make use of all your skills and any available means to survive the hostile environment.
