Want to play The Last of Us 2 PC version? Try these games

​

The Last of Us Part 2 released on PlayStation 4 last weekend and left many impressions for fans. This is a PS4 exclusive so PC players will never get a chance to experience the world of TLOU on their platform. However, to satisfy their “thirst” for adventure, gamers can check out the list of PC games in the same genre as The Last of Us. Although the games on the list cannot convey 100% of the content of TLOU 2, each game excellently represents an aspect of the original version from the story, gameplay to many other elements.
​

​

The Walking Dead
The list starts with a name that couldn’t be more familiar with the survival horror series. It’s The Walking Dead. The game has emotional content, telling the story of a world where humanity tries to survive against the undead. The Walking Dead series is a great way to satisfy the “action” element missing from The Last of Us Part 2. Zombie games are often focused on kill counts, but when it comes to deciding the game. Survival and choice, the game is no longer just about killing. After its first release in 2012, The Walking Dead has had four more major releases, bringing players into a world where every survival moment counts. It’s a polished game with the same spirit as The Last of Us – violence isn’t everything, it’s important to survive.
​

​

Left 4 Dead 2
The Last of Us Part 2 lacks action elements and sometimes what gamers are looking for is something more “stimulating”. Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 (especially part 2) bring hordes of scary zombies that players can’t escape. This game takes players through hundreds of weird things, but it is similar to TLOU 2 in the way zombies are classified.

Naughty Dog’s game makes the player observe the zombie type and figure out the necessary course of action: “Ok, it can’t see me so I need to move quietly and use this bottle to distract it.” Although Left 4 Dead does not require the same thing, when encountering zombies, players need to know how to handle the situation and consider the best way to overcome zombies.
​

​

Dying Light
Imagine The Last of Us has the same style as Mirror’s Edge. Zombie and Free Running are two completely unrelated concepts, but why not try something really new? Dying Light is a zombie survival game with a free running element. When it’s dark outside, the player has a very low chance of survival. In The Last of Us, players can fight zombies one-on-one. But things are completely different for Dying Light. Both Dying Lights allow the player to escape from most of the undead, but if fought head-on, even with the best weapons, the player can hardly defeat the zombies. Dying Light makes players need to prioritize when to hit, not hit or run straight.
​

​

Shadow of the Tomb Raider
This is the first non-zombie game on this list. Shadow of the Tomb Raider may be the game that possesses the closest visual impression to The Last of Us. The beauty of a world full of vines reaching high, clinging to crumbling buildings is part of the reason The Last of Us is so successful. Of course, in addition to visual impressions, the two games have other similarities. It’s the heroine who can use bows and arrows. In addition, moving quietly and being chased by enemies are also common points of the two games. If you like the gameplay style of The Last of Us, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a game that feels similar.
​

​

Bioshock Infinite
Like The Last of Us Part 2, players will have an additional companion in Bioshock Infinite, which is Elizabeth. The Last of Us offers a great teamwork experience with characters for most of the journey. The Last of Us attracts players thanks to the relationship between Joel and Ellie. As for Bioshock Infinite, Elizabeth’s help makes the adventure easier.

Bioshock Infinite’s levels are similar to The Last of Us, players can start from point A and need to point B to complete the mission. If you’re looking for gunfights with the companionship of a mysterious woman, Bioshock Infinite is just what you need.
​

​

State of Decay
It is undeniable that the title song of The Last of Us Part 2 leaves a deep impression on listeners. The harmony between guitar and violin resounded through people’s hearts. The music conveys hope, pain, and a bit of horror. State of Decay 1 and 2 both have a similar feel when it comes to music with sound sequences that create a spooky atmosphere.
​

Dead Island
Although the title was disappointing to many, Dead Island has one of the most elaborate trailers ever made for the zombie game genre. The epic trailer is the only thing in common between Dead Island and The Last of Us Part 2.
Hopefully the above 6 games and a satisfying trailer can partly satisfy the “thirst” of The Last of Us Part 2 of PC gamers.
