In amongst all the human melodrama of The Walking Dead and the comical stylings of Zombiewood and The Bowling Dead, it's easy to forget that zombies are actually pretty scary.
Shuffling hordes of unthinking monsters - some of them people you used to know and love - all wanting nothing more than to chew on your innards? Screw using them as target practice - I'm out of here.
If Into the Dead achieves nothing else, it manages to reinstate that frantic tension. Fortunately, it does a lot more beside.

Summary
Tense and atmospheric, with a compelling mission system, Into the Dead scares the endless-runner genre back into action
