I definitely recommend Survivalist: Invisible Strain if you like sandbox zombie survival story games.

Speaking of challenge, you can adjust and customise the difficulty which is great, so the game allows you to play at your own pace or liking.

Graphics – The unique visual style sets it apart from others in the genre.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Bonus for addition of multiplayer features, albeit so far I've yet been unable to get folks onboard, but considering the overall quality of the game, and the reasonable price, this could be a fun find for any zombie survival fans looking to coop.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I especially like default keybinds on LEFT hand only (only a savage would ever put an important hotkey on right/mouse hand).
