Dead Rising

Dead Rising is one of the best sandbox games of all time, exploring unique gameplay concepts, elements, and structure in the original. With each new release, however, the series has lost a bit of momentum.

While each iteration introduced wackier costumes and weapons to create, it also gradually lost the tone that made the first few games so compelling. The story has gotten a bit convoluted this point, almost trying too hard to mix in gags with a zombie thriller.

It just seems like they’ve exhausted all of their ideas and are leaning on tactics like bringing back Frank West from the dead again. So it may simply be time for Capcom to admit that the franchise isn’t what it used to be and pull the plug.
