Zombies are just a sauce on top of the storytelling. Something is not bad just because it has tropes you recognize from other bad things.
Good Zombie Games are aplenty: Left 4 Dead Project Zomboid 7 Days To Die Plants Vs Zombies Day Z State of Decay (ish)

It was actually a format issue with lemmy. My comment had line breaks after each game name, like a list, but the format didn't keep. Now get off me nuts
Agreed but zombies make it too easy for shit writing to succeed. Zombies are slow, fast, smart, brainless, loud, quiet, strong, weak, all at the plot's convenience.
