2. Left 4 Dead 2 (2009)

Developer: Valve

Genre: Horror, action

Theme: Man vs zombie

Return to the series you love with Left 4 Dead 2. In this co-op FPS players will be traveling across the South, navigating through swaps, cities, and carnival grounds.

Players take control of one of the four new survivors in the game. If players want to survive they’ll need to work as a team. Each party member needs to understand what they need to do and what they need their fellow members to do. You and your party members can call for help, weapons, ammo, and health.

Zombies never stood a chance

The campaigns and environments are far more detailed than the first game. Left 4 Dead 2 features three new Special Infected and five new uncommon infected. There’s the Jockey who will jump on your head, Charger who rams into you, and Spitter who shoots acid. Players will need to fight through zombies to get to the safe houses at the end of each map.

This game contains an entity known as the Director. The Director is an AI that plans out each stage. Each gaming session is personally tailored by the Director, meaning that the amount of enemies, enemy types, and more will be unique to each session. If the Director made things too hard then it will alter the stage a bit to make things easier.

Left 4 Dead 2 also has several other modes for players to tackle. In Realism mode the helpful glowing outlines around your teammates and items are removed, allies won’t respawn until the team reaches the safe house, and zombies are tougher to kill. Reality can be pretty harsh.
