Dying Light
The Dying Light series has an interesting elevator pitch: what if it was the zombie apocalypse, but you are some kind of free-running parkour acrobat that is also a double agent, or something?
Played from the first-person perspective, the vertigo-inducing platforming that will be required from you is genuinely not for the faint of heart. The feeling of escaping a horde of biters is fantastic, however, and while it isn’t quite as tight as Mirror’s Edge, its pretty damn close.
Couple that with the terrifying, mutated beasties that only come out at night, and you have a recipe for some seriously good times. Similar to Days Gone, you will engage in side quests for local survivors, and both games have a similar run time, around 20 to 30 hours for the critical path.
Probably the scariest game on the list, these are games you aren’t going to want to play in the dark, at least if you are anything like me. Still, if you enjoy the high octane thrill ride that is a horde encounter in Days Gone, then Dying Light will have a lot to offer you.
