20 games, the closest and most played first.
What to consider
Summarized by AIDying Light 2 fans are after parkour across a zombie-ravaged open world, ideally with a friend. Dying Light: The Beast is the closest relative, Dead Island and its Riptide edition move the outbreak to a tropical island, Dead Rising 3 turns everything into a weapon, and Dead by Daylight shifts the horror into a survivors-versus-killer match.
1. Dying Light: The Beast
Best for fans who want more of the same parkour survival in a new setting.
255 votes
As another Dying Light game, its open-world survival and parkour carry straight over. Castor Woods is the open world this time, with more than 40 hours of survival adventure, playable in single-player or shared progression co-op. Horror and zombies are part of it, so it should feel immediately familiar.
Standout features
- Castor Woods open world
- Shared progression co-op
- 40+ hours of adventure
2. Dead Island Definitive Edition
Best for friends who want to smash through a zombie outbreak on an island.
41 votes
The tropical island of Banoi replaces barren, virus-ravaged land, and an outbreak leaves you with a single thought: survive. Melee is the main method, with smashing heads and slicing zombies, and co-op and an open world match what you would expect from Dying Light 2. This is a fully remastered edition.
Standout features
- Tropical island outbreak
- Visceral melee combat
- Fully remastered
3. Dead Island: Riptide Definitive Edition
Best for co-op groups who finished the first Dead Island and want its story continued.
28 votes
As the continuation of the Dead Island story, it picks up the outbreak and sends you to another paradise gone to hell, again on the tropical island of Banoi. The same remastered melee combat comes along. Worth playing after the first one if the co-op zombie-smashing hooks you.
Standout features
- Continues the outbreak story
- Remastered melee combat
- Co-op zombie survival
4. Dead by Daylight
Best for horror fans who want tense matches with friends instead of an open map.
221 votes
Two sides exist here: four determined Survivors against a single bloodthirsty Killer, and you pick which to play. You get a vicious game of nerve and wits instead of a zombie crowd. The horror carries over from Dying Light 2, though there is no open world to roam.
Standout features
- Survivors versus Killer
- Tension and close calls
- Pick your side
5. Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition
Best for players who like improvising weapons in an open-world zombie city.
39 votes
Everything you pick up can be a weapon in the zombie-infested city of Los Perdidos, and a military strike is coming to wipe it off the map, so you need to find an escape. A comedy tag sits next to the gore, with weapon and character customization on top, for a funnier angle on the open-world zombie setup.
Standout features
- Anything is a weapon
- Los Perdidos city
- Weapon and character customization
