Looting enemies and sniping is all done through the GamePad too so it all genuinely feels designed for the console instead of shoehorned in. While you’re rummaging around in your rucksack for loot, you’re prime zombie munching fodder, so every gaze into your inventory is a serious risk. Survival is difficult, weapons are scarce, but a lot of the fear stems from some terrifyingly inventive uses of the GamePad. All that’s left of your previous character is a shambling corpse and one that you’ll probably have to kill if you want your precious rucksack of stuff back. Send your intrepid survivor out into London town and die and you’ll restart as another person entirely, complete with backstory. It’s not like zombies haven’t been done to death (or undeath), but ZombiU manages to crank up the tension in a number of ways. London has been hit by the zombie virus and you’re one of the few survivors out there who hasn’t turned into a brain-hungry staggering fiend. Ubi’s surprise launch day hit is still as terrifying as it was back in 2012.
