Well there you have it, our rundown of the very best zombie games on Switch. While the console might not be the first port of call for spending some time with the undead, there remain plenty of titles that you can enjoy nonetheless.

I'm at the point where I start believing that the countless hours I think I spent playing the excellent World War Z on Switch were just a fever dream or something. Because it seems like no one else knows this incredible port of a great co-op zombie shooter on Switch exists. Because it turns out, there's an easier way to play the game other than lower the game's difficulty. All players need is a cool and level head—sometimes a bit of out-of-the-box thinking so that they can outsmart the brainless zombies and human enemy AI who don't fare that much better. These tips ought to make Dying Light less about dying. The comparisons in the video should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect but to my mind, the cuts feel somehow different than certain other Switch conversions we've tested - overall, it looks and feels good, certainly in handheld play. The thing is, all of the features and gameplay complexities are preserved and elements like loading times are actually comparable. In fact, in my tests, the Switch version had faster loading than the PS4 game. So, it's obvious that the Switch port doesn't fully match the prior console release and that should be expected, but I like many of the decisions Techland has made here. It's clear this must have been a very technically challenging conversion to pull off: it's a game doing things the Switch really isn't designed to do, but it does actually work well. Dying Light performance is uncapped on Switch, often running at circa 30-36fps. A 30fps cap would reduce instability.Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine Please use the free launcher application to test the availability and quality of the service for your region.

You can read our full review of the original version of Dying Light right here – our opinion hasn’t changed on it over the years. It’s a great game with only a couple of small issues that let it down. Being the Platinum Edition, however, this Switch release has much more to offer. There’s The Following, for example; a story expansion that takes Crane out of city. Not only does it provide a new countryside environment to explore, it even allows players to make use of a customisable dirt buggy.Updated February 7th, 2022, by Sid Natividad: With the advent of Dying Light 2: Stay Human, a renewed interest in zombies is taking the world by storm again. One simply cannot get enough of these flesh-eating undead as even Netflix timed the release of All of Us Are Dead perfectly to coincide with Dying Light. As always, the best way to get used to the second game, is by playing the first. However, the game does have its weak points. From a narrative perspective, Dying Light has never been the strongest horror title out there, especially since it uses a horror trope that’s been done to death – zombies. There’s only so much you can do to make a zombie-based game original when it comes to the story. That’s not to say Dying Light has a totally weak narrative, just that chances are you’ve seen something similar before. Of course, the game wasn’t without its issues at its initial launch, specifically some performance issues. So, how does it fair on Nintendo Switch? A console that isn’t known for the power found in PlayStation and Xbox. Well, it holds up pretty well. In fact, the game performs exceptionally well, making for a pretty solid port. I think we can all agree that Switch ports are a risky business, and in this case, it’s paid off.

The weapon system has always been one of my favourite aspects. You can take something as basic as a gas pipe and turn it into a formidable bit of kit that can take down just about any foe in front of you. However, just because you can buff it up doesn’t necessarily mean you should. The game has a relatively deep crafting system, and you need to manage your resources wisely – especially if you hate yourself and choose nightmare difficulty.
