10 Most Terrifying Video Game Zombies

10. Volatile - Dying Light

Dying Light has an entire rogue’s gallery of zombies, including the usual slow shamblers, energetic fast zombies, and super-sized tank undead. However, it’s the Volatiles which appear at night who pose the greatest threat.

These zombies are insect-like in appearance with their mandible-like jaws and chitinous armour covering their bodies. They are capable of dealing ludicrous amounts of damage to the player and will require the use of the game's strongest weaponry if you’re hoping to kill one.

It is advisable to try to stealth your way past these enemies rather than engage them in combat; if you are discovered, running is your best strategy.

While most Dying Light enemies can be easily evaded by using a combination of parkour and speed, Volatiles can match you in both respects and will doggedly pursue you until you either reach a safe zone or sunrise scares them off, at which point they’ll retreat and hide themselves in a dark cave to await nightfall.
