Surv1v3 is a zombie survival sim that delivers a ton of content from survival modes to a decent story campaign, all in VR. Players can scavenge for supplies in a vast city map that includes abandoned subway tunnels to sewers.

There’s also a vast arsenal of weapons from bows to ak47s and various melee options, all of which can be tested on either zombie or at an in-game firing range.
