If you’re a fan of an intense, chaotic post-apocalyptic game with a rich story, chances are you’re familiar with Naughty Dog’s 2013 smash-hit The<\/em>\u00a0Last of Us<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and its 2020\u00a0sequel, The Last of Us\u00a0Part II<\/a><\/em>. The plot centers around two rugged survivors, Joel and Ellie, and their strange, yet beautiful father-and-daughter-like bonding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, as well-received and well-loved as this definitive franchise is, some games may top\u00a0The Last of Us<\/em>\u00a0for any number of reasons. Today we’ll check out a few zombie & horror games that\u00a0might actually be better than\u00a0The Last of Us,<\/em>\u00a0and five ways\u00a0The Last of Us<\/em>\u00a0tops them all.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>TLOU: Scare Factors<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Being a post-apocalyptic survival horror game, it’s only natural that\u00a0The Last of Us<\/em>\u00a0knows how to scare its players<\/a>. From hidden Infected creatures sticking on the wall to the chillingly eerie Seraphite’s whistling,\u00a0The Last of Us<\/em>\u00a0has an abundance of scare factors to make anyone jump out of their seat or rage quit, and it makes full use of its kit to that end.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Outlast & Outlast 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

However,\u00a0The Last of Us<\/em>\u00a0is miles behind compared to\u00a0Outlast\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0Outlast 2<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>in terms of scare factors. Although this may not be a typical zombie game, it’s still worth noting that\u00a0Outlast\u00a0<\/em>has a whole buffet of elements with which it can give you constant nightmares.<\/p>\n

Unlike\u00a0The Last of Us,\u00a0<\/em>where you can shoot your way out to the finish line if you have enough ammo,\u00a0Outlast\u00a0<\/em>puts you into a more vulnerable role. You’re an investigative journalist with a night vision-equipped camcorder trying to make it through the night. The only choices you have are to hide, run, or die.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>TLOU: Free-World Roaming<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Last of Us\u00a0<\/em>and its\u00a0Part II\u00a0<\/em>sequel feature plenty of iconic locales. From Pittsburgh to Tommy’s Jackson settlement in Wyoming,\u00a0The Last of Us<\/em>\u00a0has a vast map ready to be explored, especially during your Seattle chapter with Ellie.<\/p>\n

In fact,\u00a0Part II<\/em>\u00a0was designed as an\u00a0open-world game<\/a>\u00a0at first. Initially, the game would take place in Jackson and give some sense of freedom to explore the city. Unfortunately, this idea was scrapped as the writers developed the storyline\u00a0and felt like it wouldn’t\u00a0suit Ellie’s character arc.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Dying Light<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

If you’re looking for a better open-world zombie game, then consider\u00a0Dying Light.\u00a0<\/em>Even though it’s not as big as\u00a0Grand Theft Auto V<\/em>,\u00a0Dying Light<\/em>‘s medium-sized map is enough to give you the freedom to roam around the dead city of Harran and explore its\u00a0hidden references<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Story-wise,\u00a0Dying Light<\/em>\u00a0lets you control Kyle Crane, an undercover agent, as he becomes entangled between continuing his mission or helping out the remaining survivors.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>TLOU: Rich Story<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Last of Us<\/em>\u00a0is one of those games that gets you emotionally hooked. It tells the story of Joel and how he goes from calling Ellie his ‘cargo’ to his ‘baby girl,’ while\u00a0Part II<\/em>\u00a0largely deals with the consequences of protecting Ellie and focuses on her own journey. It’s the story of how far one\u00a0could go to protect (or avenge) their loved ones.<\/p>\n

Aside from its graphics,\u00a0The Last of Us<\/em>‘ deep story is the standout feature of this game. The character development feels crisp, alive, and powerful, but pulls no punches in showcasing the brutal realities of the world it takes place in.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>The Walking Dead<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Telltale’s\u00a0The Walking Dead<\/em>\u00a0interactive game is likely the leading contender with\u00a0The Last of Us\u00a0<\/em>in terms of evocative storytelling. The first season centers around Lee Everett<\/a>, a former historian (and a convicted killer) stuck in the\u00a0midst of the zombie apocalypse with a little girl\u00a0named Clementine. After that, TWD<\/em> focuses more on Clem and her growth into a tough, badass survivor for the next three seasons.<\/p>\n

On the other hand,\u00a0The Last of Us Part II<\/em>\u00a0was criticized for inconsistency and a plethora of plot holes<\/a>. Like Joel and Tommy, some characters are sloppy, clumsy, and really out of their arc.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>TLOU: Relatable Characters<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Unlike most zombie games where you take roles of high-profile agents or soldiers,\u00a0The Last of Us<\/em>\u00a0centers around Joel. He’s not an ordinary everyman protagonist who’s always right, but rather a controversial character with a skewed and somewhat crooked moral compass.<\/p>\n

But behind all that, Joel is just a man who wants nothing but the best for his loved ones, no matter what he has to sacrifice in the process. Joel is so candid, and it’s what makes players resonate with this character so much.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Resident Evil 7<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Following the lackluster welcome to\u00a0Resident Evil 6<\/em>, Capcom took a step back to return to the franchise’s original horror roots in\u00a0Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.\u00a0RE7<\/em> is the only\u00a0Resident Evil<\/em>\u00a0game to not feature any original character as its lead hero or heroine.<\/p>\n

In fact,\u00a0Resident Evil 7<\/em>\u00a0tells the story of Ethan Winters, a small-time engineer trying to find his missing wife in the middle of a no-man’s land. Seeing how far one could go to protect someone they love is practically always a solidly relatable concept to weave a horror story around.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>TLOU: Challenging Infected Creatures<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Last of Us<\/em>\u00a0has plenty of unique Infected types according to their infection stage. Ranging from an easy Runner to the bloated, conjoined, and disgusting-looking Rat King, all Infected creatures in\u00a0The Last of Us<\/em>\u00a0are more than ready to keep you\u00a0panicked.<\/p>\n

Also, if you’re a fan of challenges, try “Grounded” difficulty – where you won’t get to use the ‘listening mode,’ making the playthrough a struggle for the ages.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Resident Evil 2 & 3: Remake<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It’s only been one night since the start of the catastrophe in Raccoon City, but these undead creatures have already been evolving in the\u00a0Resident Evil 2<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Resident Evil 3<\/em>\u00a0remakes. These nightmarish creatures can be frustrating to beat and terrifying to face, from T-virus zombies and lickers to\u00a0William Birkin’s mutation<\/a>\u00a0and Mr. X.<\/p>\n

On top of that, finding ammo and weapons can be painful because of how perplexing\u00a0the game’s puzzles<\/a>\u00a0can be.\u00a0It’s challenging on so many levels that you’ll definitely need all the luck you can get.<\/p>\n
