You can’t open any of the current VR game digital storefronts without tripping over a huge pile of zombie games. Whether you’re on a Quest, SteamVR, or PSVR you’ll be quickly inundated with games about fighting the undead, usually with guns.
Arizona Sunshine kicked this zombie trend explosion off years ago, followed by other legends like Zombieland: Headshot Fever, Drop Dead, Resident Evil, or today’s featured title The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners. Like other popular zombie VR shooters, it’s available across all of the major VR gaming ecosystems, but it recently entered my orbit thanks to a half-off discount on the Quest store (still running for a day or two as of this writing!) and a new graphics patch for the Quest 3 headset.
I don’t have much of a personal affiliation with or love for The Walking Dead as an IP. I haven’t read the graphic novels, nor have I seen more than an episode or two of the long-running TV series. I played the first season of the old Telltale adventure game series before I lost interest, as I’m one of “those people” who preferred that company’s classic adventures to their more cinematic fare. Still, I like zombie action games quite a bit, and this is one of the highest rated ones out there so it seemed like a solid pick.
