Dead Rising 4 is a mind-numbing slog despite its near-endless array of weapons

Dead Rising 4 is the ultimate zombie-slaying power fantasy. But that’s not necessarily a good thing.

The goofy open-world action series has close ties with the Xbox brand. The original Dead Rising was an Xbox 360 exclusive, and Dead Rising 3 was one of the launch games for Xbox One. Each entry gives players the freedom to kill the undead as they see fit — and to look good while doing it.
