Generally speaking, I'm not really a fan of Zombies (or the undead), in either movies or in games in which they are the main antagonist.

Which is probably why I gave this a miss when it was first released, only picking it up when it was released on PS Plus.

(Yes, I know the Freakers are never called Zombies but, let's face it, that's what they really are).

I have to say that, while slow starting, the story in this open world game was actually quite enjoyable, with Sam Witwer doing a particularly fine job as the protaganist Deacon St John, the former outlaw biker who you play as in this post apocalyptic world.

Freaker horde missions, though? Not a fan.

(I preferred sneaking around, or the occasional gunfight)

Sister, Maiden , Monster
By Lucy A. Snyder
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Humanity has been irrevocably changed by a virus that radically alters its victims...yet life goes on.

Three women must band together to try to survive. Erin and Savannah are helping usher in the new world, while Mareva has been burdened with a very special task ― one she's too horrified to even acknowledge.

This is absolutely brilliant I didn’t want to put it down. It’s so well written. Following a the covid pandemic the world gets thrown into another apocalyptic virus. This is a fantastic comic horror/end of days novel. It is graphic so please read any trigger warnings. I’m so glad I found this author her writing style is definitely something I want to read more of!

Futuristic Cavemen and Robot Dinosaurs
Although this game was originally slated for release in late 2016, it eventually dropped in February this year. Think the mechanics of the rebooted Tomb Raider series, mixed with Assassin’s Creed and you have Horizon Zero Dawn. The game includes an awesome open world to explore, a host of interesting characters and a whole bunch of badass robot dinosaurs to hunt. With beautiful visuals and solid mechanics, the environment is a joy to traverse. The game feels alive, which is something of a rarity in post apocalyptic open world games recently and sets Horizon apart from the more dreary games in this genre. Some of the dialogue leaves a bit to be desired, but other than that, this is an awesome world well worth exploring.

The first in D.P. Prior's 'Shader' series, this is a self-published fantasy that is set upon a future Earth following a post-apocalyptic event in which magic has returned.

While I'm not usually averse to a bit of fantasy every now and then, I have to say: I found this one to be hard going. Despite a promising start, I found it to become somewhat overblown and drawn out and just not that engaging: I never really connected with any of the characters or the situations they faced.

There were times, even, when I was tempted to abandon it altogether / skip chapters, but stuck at it out of sheer bloody-mindedness rather than due to any interest in the story

I'm sorry to say so, but I doubt I'll pick up the second in the series. :(
