With its grindhouse gore, chiptune surf rock, and chunky pixel aesthetics, Death Road to Canada is easily the strangest game on this list. Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android Techland's follow-up, Dying Light 2, is another great zombie game - but Dying Light: The Following is where the blueprint for the series really shines. Not that it's an issue, because as soon as you take your foot off the brake, sit back, and slam that gas pedal, in no time you'll understand why we love The Following. The responsive steering makes careering down roads a delight, but beware: the more you swerve out of the way of zombies, the bigger the horde following you will get. Regardless, you'll have to dodge them as you drive around investigating a cult who seem to be immune to the zombie virus. There's even a new, evolved (and much more deadly) version of the Volatiles, who are instant death if you encounter one either whilst in your buggy or sneaking around at night. We don't really have a zombie-driving game around at the moment, and The Following plugs this niche perfectly. Just be careful you don't get a zombie head trapped in your windscreen wipers.

Splatter zombies into chunks of gore as you speed across the fields and leave tyre-tracks in their guts as you take on daring jumps. As the DLC for the main game, Dying Light: The Following cuts out most of the parkour from the original and instead puts you behind the steering wheel in a swathe of almost-spotless countryside.

Running over zombies was never so much fun.
