Left 4 Dead

It’s crazy to think just how much influence Left 4 Dead’s brand of co-op PvE action would have on future titles. The dynamic of a four player squad dealing with hordes of zombies – with special Infected that required specific tactics to beat – and an AI Director that would constantly adjust to the action, resulted in one of the most addictive first person shooters at the time. Such was the level of polish and fun that only the sequel has been able to surpass it to this day.
