Ultimate Zombie Defense is a top-down co-op wave defense shooter.

It was free last week on Fanatical, and I grabbed it because it was free, of course.

Although I'd already done zombies today, why not a few more?

You're in a fixed area, and you're armed with a gun, and a little bit of cash. Kill zombies under the wave is over, spend cash on fortification & weapons upgrades, rinse and repeat.

I got to the fifth level solo, and learned the hard way that in spite of the previous four levels with the zombies only coming from the North, they can also come from the south.

Where I had no fortifications, and no chance of survival.

I then jumped into one of 5 (!) available 4-person multiplayer servers, and played with that team until we were all dead.

At which point I quit; I would have quit earlier, but I didn't want to abandon the bunch of randoms after someone had already done so.

Ultimate Zombie Defence is ultimately boring, so:

1: Nope

Northgard is a real-time strategy game about Vikings. Slightly cartoonish Vikings, but Vikings all the same.

Having watched his father the King, and clan slaughtered, Rig the now-very-angry seeks vengeance, by way of taking several years to build one single village, to build a longboat, and set sail to Northgard, where his father's killer has gone to invade and colonise.

I get that the seasons are a necessary part of the RTS process of this game, but it took three years of in-game time to get to the point I could follow the guy across the ocean.

He could be dead by now, for all I know. OK, he probably isn't, but still.

In any case, build a building to process wood, assign villagers, build a scout building, train scouts, etc etc.

The game has its own charm, but on the surface it appears to be a pretty run-of-the-mill strategy game.

Not going to complain, but not itching to jump back in.

Northgard is:

3: OK
