Im really in the mood for some dystopian games , ive played the last of us 1 , 2 Deus ex all games , dishonored both games

what other games do you recommend ?

 

[mutt765]

The Bioshock series and the Half Life series.

On the lower budget side, Shadowrun, Beyond Good and Evil, Abe's Odyssey series.

Also, not technically dystopian but check out A Plague Tale if you're in the mood for something like The Last of Us.

 

[Hudo]

GTA 5.

 

[Games of Today]

Technomancer has a pretty cool dystopian/brutalist architecture theme. It takes place on Mars though.

Remember Me is another awesome one. Set in a dystopian Neo Paris.

If you want to count CoD: Ghosts? That's dystopian America.

 

[crackajack]

Stray is dystopian, despite being rather upbeat.

 

[Shifty1897]

Half Life and Cyberpunk.

 

[Koenigssee]

CRUELTY SQUAD

 

[acm2000]

IRL

 

[H4ze]

GTA 5.

Goddamnit, beaten

 

[Trunx81]

Infamous: Second Son

 

[The Cockatrice]

To name a few, you can obviously play all the games in the series for each of the above, like half-life 2, bioshock 2/infinite, all metro games(though its more post apocalyptic than dystopian), etc. Theres a fine line between dystopia and post-apoc so if you dont care, you can also play the Fallout games as well.

Just get up, open the door and look around.

 

[Davevil]

Really?? no love for Syndicate?

 

[intbal]

Dying Light 2

(DL1 doesn't really have a society)

 

[Rendered Tangent]

The Ascent was a personal favourite from last year, but it's quite a niche experience because of its camera perspective.

Deus Ex is a good shout, same with Bioshock, and the recently released Atomic Heart was a good time in my opinion.

 

[intbal]

Beneath a Steel Sky, if you're fine with classic adventure game style.

 

[intbal]

I haven't played it, but We Happy Few appears to be very much a "dystopian society" game.

 

[dorkimoe]

frostpunk?

 

[Damigos]

Cyberpunk 2077
Stray
Prey
Dishonored
Metro
FF7

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

Persona 5

 

[Antwix]

 

[intbal]

Technically, the cities in the Crackdown series are very specifically dystopian.
However, the games are just pure action, so there's not much "dystopian atmosphere" to be experienced.

 

[Drizzlehell]

I posted this before but it's just so fitting for this thread:

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Metro 2033/Last Light/Exodus is a very good example and one that is very well done.

 

[brian0057]

Deus Ex.
Every other answer is wrong.

 

[KillaJamm]

The Observer was half decent.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

SOMA

Nightmare levels of dystopian.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Deus Ex.
Every other answer is wrong.

The reboot games are both great but the original is still the GOAT

 

[intbal]

OP has already played Deus Ex.
The request was for alternatives.

 

[ProtoByte]

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. A must play given your tastes, OP.

Disco Elysium, too.

 

[Mozzarella]

Deus Ex.
Every other answer is wrong.

Its the best one but other answers are not wrong simply because OP asked for Games not Game.

 

[Laieon]

Sim City 4, when I play it anyway.

 

[Stephen Curry]

Fallout

 

[ConcealedBlaze]

SOMA

Nightmare levels of dystopian.

SOMA is so good because it’s not inherently dystopic. It’s actually post-apocalyptic. But the technology becomes dystopic unintentionally which makes it so much more horrifying. The main character had no idea what he was signing up for.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2.
