Dead Rising 4 throws you into a zombie-infested Colorado town with a camera, a penchant for crafting ridiculous weapons, and a healthy dose of black humor. The open-world sandbox encourages experimentation, letting you combine everything from a teddy bear and a machine gun to a fire axe and a bucket of nails. While the story takes a backseat to the mayhem, the game's core loop of scavenging, surviving, and creating increasingly absurd tools of destruction makes for a uniquely satisfying experience.
