Four hundred years ago, scientist John Dee made what was known as the Black Prophecy. The Prepper (an ex-army, no-nonsense man) prepares for the coming apocalypse, and a secret society known as the Ravens of Dee researches Dee's predictions to stop them from taking place. In November 2012, the Black Prophecy begins to be realized in the form of an outbreak of zombies in London.

Title
Doesn't quite shake things up enough to reach the level of its inspirations, ZombiU is still a very solid arcade horror experience that successfully utilises the dissonance offered by the Wii U Gamepad to introduce so many mechanics to rob you of awareness, making for a consistently tense and thrilling experience. Smart combines this with elements of roguelikes and Dark Souls to ratchet up the fear of failure, and with enough varied levels to carry you through a campaign without many more tricks up its sleeve.

EDIT: A lot is kind of lost in the translation to the other consoles; some of the obvious jumpscares have their bite removed without the dissonance between the Gamepad and the TV, and the port is just kind of a dog's breakfast in general. The survivor mode is great, and arguably makes replays more fun than the original run when you know the game's tricks. Full disclosure, I made it to the final mission twice on Survivor Mode but couldn't quite beat it. I may return someday but for now I've had my fill. I'm not mad, just is what it is.

    Honestly quite an underrated game. Playing it on the wii u was definetly a lot of fun, and at least they tried using the game pad for something! The ps4 port is ok too, but it's missing some great features.
