15 Video Games Where Dying Actually Means Something

ZombiU / Zombi

The Wii U was a very family-friendly console, mostly due to its creators being Nintendo. So, not too many exclusives were made that were M for mature on their family-friendly console. Sure, ZombiU isn’t an exclusive anymore, it was one once. ZombiU was quite different than most other games on the Wii U; it was creepy, it was a zombie game, after all. The game takes in London, England and utilized both the TV screen and the tablet in their own way; the TV screen was the player’s view, except when they are in a fixed third-person perspective while scanning a room, meanwhile the tablet is used as the inventory or immediate mini-map to observe the room and make sure no enemies are close. Once the player dies, their stuff is lost and if you choose to try and get everything back, you have to deal with a zombified version of the player as another survivor.
