Ok, ok, ok: imagine The Last of Us, right, but make it Mirror’s Edge. Left 4 Dead is just a little more unashamedly gory about it. You have to consider the best way to get through your enemy, just as you would with The Last of Us. Although Left 4 Dead doesn’t require quite the same thinking, per se, when you see a zombie you need to know what makes it tick – and in the case of hearing a Witch, that means running for the hills.
Naughty Dog’s game makes you look at a zombie and work out what action is required: ‘Ok, it can’t see therefore I have to be super duper quiet and lob this bottle over that way to distract it’. The multiplayer makes you churn through hundreds of the damn things, but it’s the zombie classification you’ll be doing that feels similar to The Last of Us.
Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 (but especially 2) take that scary hoard of zombies you want to avoid, and make it impossible to sneak past them. I know we said The Last of Us isn’t always about the violence, but, like, come on – sometimes you want it to be all about the violence. A beautifully made game, it has a similar spirit to The Last of Us – it’s not violence we take pleasure in, it’s survival. Starting all the way back in 2012 with its first season, The Walking Dead had four main releases of the game appear, submerging us back into the dystopian world those characters live in at pivotal moments of their story. Zombie games are frequently about kill counters – we’re looking at you Dead Rising – but when it comes to survival and making those all important decisions between life and death, it’s not all run and gun. But The Walking Dead series is a great way to scratch the less violent itch The Last of Us’s down time delivers. This entry comes as a surprise to no one as it’s a narrative heavy, emotionally loaded zombie game. However, if you don’t have one of Sony’s consoles to hand this list of games you can play on PC that are like The Last of Us should sate your appetite. The Last of Us is a system seller for PS4.
