Top games like The Last of Us on PC

The Last of Us Part II has released PlayStation 4 recently, making fans extremely excited. However, PC gamers have never had the opportunity to experience the world of The Last of Us. Unfortunately, we couldn’t convince Naughty Dog to bring this masterpiece to PC, and the developer also stopped responding to email calls from fans. Here is a list of PC games that have zombie and survival experiences similar to The Last of Us.

The article does not promise any game here will perfectly reproduce The Last of Us. But each of these games excels in some aspect of The Last of Us: gameplay, narrative, or something else that makes it special.

Of course, if you really want to play The Last of Us, play it on PS4.

The Last of Us 2 will be available on PC?

Very unlikely. The Last of Us is the driving force behind PS4 sales. However, if you don’t own a Sony PS4, then this list will somewhat satisfy you.

THE WALKING DEAD

The first name on the list will probably surprise you, but this game focuses on storytelling and emotions. The Walking Dead series does not have as many violent elements as The Last of Us. Zombie games often focus on killing zombies – such as Dead Rising – but when it comes to survival and making life-and-death decisions, Telltale’s The Walking Dead is the right choice. With the first season starting in 2012, The Walking Dead has four main parts, bringing players into a chaotic world with different levels of emotions in the journey. The Walking Dead has the sound of The Last of Us – but the element of violence is not what people enjoy in The Last of Us, but survival.

LEFT 4 DEAD 2

The Last of Us doesn’t always focus on violence, but – sometimes, what you want is just violence. Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 (but especially part 2) offer hordes of scary zombies that you want to avoid, but at the same time, dodge them is impossible. The multiplayer game pits players against hundreds of zombies, but the zombie classification is something you’ll feel is similar to The Last of Us.

Naughty Dog’s game forces you to look at a zombie and figure out what to do, such as: “This zombie is blind so we need to be extremely quiet and toss the bottle in that direction to collect it. suck it up”. While Left 4 Dead doesn’t require that much thought, when you see a zombie type, you need to know what to do – in the case of Witch’s scream, that means it’s time to run. You have to figure out the best way to get past your enemies, like in The Last of Us. However, Left 4 Dead will be a bit more chaotic.

DYING LIGHT

Imagine it like this: The Last of Us, combined with Mirror’s Edge (parkour game). Zombies and parkour are not two concepts that often go together, but why not give it a try? This is a free running zombie survival game. If the sun has set and you still have hair on the street, your chances of survival are extremely low. In the Last of Us, just facing a zombie was a big challenge. And Dying Light (and its sequel Dying Light 2, pictured above) allows you to overcome dozens of zombies easily, but when fighting it is much more difficult, and the character only has enough strength to handle it. they. Dying Light makes players know when to prioritize when to fight, when to dodge or run, as well as kill others.

SHADOW OF THE TOMB RAIDER

This is the first non-zombie game on the list. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a game with graphics with an impression closest to The Last of Us. The world of Lara Croft leaves you in awe, from the ruins to the vines – part of The Last of Us’s success formula also comes from there. And yet, the game has other things in common. The heroine can shoot a bow, then you have to sneak around and take down every male enemy in the game. If you like The Last of Us’ zombie drama style, the new Tomb Raider trilogy won’t let you down.

BIOSHOCK INFINITE

We have to mention at least one Bioshock game here, and while it’s not the best part of the series, Bioshock Infinite has a companion to accompany you on your journey. The Last of Us provides a sense of security when you know someone you can trust by your side. You are not alone, but because of the bond between Joel and Ellie. Bioshock Infinite is similar, with you as Elizabeth’s tutor. The protagonist’s destiny is more connected with Elizabeth than you think.

The game’s seamless stages are quite similar to The Lats of Us: You can start at point A and know you will finish the level when you reach point B.

STATE OF DECAY

The music that really makes players remember is the background music from The Last of Us: the guitar sound combined with the violin moves listeners’ hearts. You will feel a wide range of emotions: hope, brokenness, and terror in a few tones. State of Decay (and State of Decay 2, pictured above) have a similar musical element, with guitars and spooky sounds. We can’t say the music of State of Decay equals that of Gustavo Santaolla, but it sets the tone for the game. This is the most survival-focused game on this list – build new shelters, while balancing the few resources you have, and then face a zombie epidemic.

DEAD ISLAND

Yes, the game is a complete mess, but it has one of the best zombie trailers. The article doesn’t recommend playing the game – don’t, as the game’s team has moved on to develop Dying Light which is much better – but the Dead Island trailer has something special, and almost captures the initial emotion. by The Last of Us. Watch the trailer above, feel it and forget what the article criticizes about Dead Island.

Epilogue

Above is a list of six games and a trailer inspired by The Last of Us. You can play them if you have not had the opportunity, and if you really want to feel the masterpiece of Naughty Dog, equip PS4 to play.
