minus-squarerishado@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11arrow-down13·11 months agoZombie media is trash in general. If you’re a shit writer, zombies are for you. Not surprised when that’s the main selling point.
minus-squareToneswirly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·11 months agoZombies 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)
