Class-based wave survival with a metal aesthetic. The sort of game that takes time to complete, and dedication to master

Payday 2 has changed a lot over the years, which has lead to teamplay being less relevant, but it still is the longest running example of the genre

Heavily inspired by Left 4 Dead. Admittedly I haven't played this as much as the sequel, but what I did play was very fun

An incredibly deep shooter with a damp, oppressive atmosphere. Teamwork is absolutely essential, so be aware of that if you don't have friends to play with

Currently the pinnacle of the genre. Just play it. Rock and Stone, miner.

The retail release of an old mod. Was fun while it worked, but at this point I can't even launch the game. If you want to take the plunge, good luck

Playing through a bad monster movie has never been this fun. EDF has a lot of design quirks that make it not for everyone, however if it looks at all interesting I heartily recommend it

The first mainline EDF to make it to Steam. This game is a helluva lot of fun, but won't be for everyone, especially since it lacks all the QoL features of the sequel

An extremely silly game, clearly riffing on L4D2. Well worth the asking price

Imagine Left 4 Dead, but push the horde size during panic events to the breaking point. Progression systems can be grindy, but the basic gameplay loop is solid
