6 Games to Play While You Wait for Squid Game Season 3
If you're craving the high-stakes drama, psychological mind games, and survival chaos of Squid Game, you're not alone. While we all await the release of Season 3, why not dive into video games that echo the show's intense themes? From twisted social experiments to fast-paced death matches, these six games will scratch that Squid Game itch in all the best (and worst) ways. 1. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony If you loved Squid Game 's psychological mind games, Danganronpa V3 is a perfect fit. In this visual novel-meets-murder mystery, a group of high school students are trapped and forced to kill each other to escape—sound familiar? Twists, betrayals, and courtroom drama make this a darkly addictive playthrough. 2. Mortal Kombat Sometimes, you just want the raw brutality that Squid Game so often teases—and Mortal Kombat delivers in spades. Its over-the-top fatalities, epic character roster, and tournament-style structure align well with the do-or-die mechanics of the Netflix hit. Plus, the stakes? Always fatal. 3. The Last of Us Part I For those who connected with the emotional depth behind Squid Game 's violent façade, The Last of Us Part I offers a gripping, character-driven survival story. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, it's about trust, loss, and what people will do to survive—key themes in Squid Game. 4. Fortnite Hear us out—while Fortnite may not have the bleak tone of Squid Game, it mirrors the battle royale format. With its constantly shifting rules, shrinking zones, and everyone-for-themselves setup, Fortnite is the colorful, chaotic cousin of Squid Game 's more brutal games. 5. We Happy Few Like the eerie, dystopian vibe of the Squid Game facilities? We Happy Few drops you into a drug-controlled society where conformity is enforced, and rebellion is dangerous. Expect unsettling visuals, survival mechanics, and a creeping sense of unease that fans of the show will appreciate. 6. Deathloop Much like the layered structure of Squid Game, Deathloop offers a mind-bending challenge: you're trapped in a time loop with eight targets to eliminate before midnight. Stealth, strategy, and a race against time make this one a cerebral thrill, perfect for fans who love to unravel mysteries. Whether you're here for the survival tension, the emotional unraveling, or the stylish dystopia, these six games channel the Squid Game spirit in fascinating ways. Dive in, gear up, and may the odds be ever in your favor—until Season 3 hits your screen.
