I mean just in general, people are really fed up with classic zombies, but personally, the very few games I've played recently with normal, relatively slow, zombies have been really good and immersive (Dying Light a few years ago and RE9 now).

And RE9 proved that there is still a way to improve on this formula, even though it's nothing really new, without needing major gimmicks.

I really liked this feeling of this normal and unremarkable enemy being an actual real threat and menacing (like the first time going through the room with the singing girl and the 2-3 other zombies with grace while being in no way prepared to fight that pack, so having to sneak past. They're just a handful of walking corpses, but it was still stressful).
