I've been in the mood for some good post apacalyptic games lately. Trouble is I have played a good majority of them. Or so I think. The whole Fallout series, all 3 S.T.A.L.K.E.R games, the Crysis series, and others that I can't begin to remember. I realize stalker isn't technically post apalcalyptic, but the setting is the same.

I'm looking for a few that might have slipped through the net. Are there any others?

Metro series. Incredible atmosphere. Great story with two endings to each. Demanding graphics.

Metro is a great game, very moody and couldn't be much more post apocalyptic

I would say DayZ, but I'd probably wait a while until vehicles are other features are more developed.

For me though, the best post-apocalyptic game by far is Last of Us, I appreciate it's not a PC game but the story and experience really is awesome.

If you enjoyed STALKER and haven't played the Metro series get on it right away.

When GSC ceased to operate the team more or less split up into 2 companies - 4A games and Vostok.

You will have the same feeling of atmosphere with Metro as you did with STALKER - the similarities are there. However, Metro (especially last light) looks sooooo much better.

There's a DLC mission for Last Light where you have to gather up artifacts from the Great Library complex - it's like a scaled-down open world mini game - freakin' incredible and my favorite part of the DLC.

Deadlight was nice for an indie game..

Metro series like others have said. Wasteland 2 is in early access now, get it when it's completed. How about State of Decay?

 

[Lionheart1980]

Yep, i was gonna say Metro.. well you already said you played all of Fallout series.. which is great.. um how about Bioshock series??

Are you looking for Post-Apocalyptic only?
Or are you open to dystopian themed ones too?

Yes I would be open to distopian themed ones as well. I am also very fond of those. I just bought that new game "Thief" because I liked the distopian look of the trailer.

I should have mentioned I played the Metros. Can't believe I left those out.

In that case, check out the first two Thief games since they're 10x more expansive and just much better than the new one in virtually every way (with a much more distinctive atmosphere as well). They don't feel overly clunky either, and this mod improves visuals drastically.

Check out:

System Shock
Deus Ex: Human Revolution(sort of)
Hard Reset
Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite
Kanequest 3000
Dishonored
Remember Me (not all that good, but still fun)

Including fallout 1 and 2? Have you also played the metro series and the last of us?

Never played the other two. Sounds like I'll be playing the new one first. That way I'll get the most enjoyment out of it. Then the other two. What are their names? With this latest one being titled "thief", what could the others be called? Ill use the mod too.

 

[psyclum]

not really a post-apoc game, but the F.E.A.R. series might be something you'd enjoy. or maybe Hellgate: London? that's worth a few hours or your time too i think

Slightly different situation though. FO3 is a very, very different type of game compared to the first two. Thief on the other hand is the same type of game as the originals, but dumbed down so that kids and non-gamers could play it on a controller.

State Of Decay

- best apocalypse game I played last year. Its like GTA + Dead Island combined. An open world zombie survival rpg.

Firefall

Free-to-play, never pay-to-win, sandbox MMO FPS and best part... highly technological and post-apocalyptic.

In Firefall you play an ARES Pilot which pilots one of many Battleframes (classes) that are unlockable by acquiring pilot tokens.

The game partnered with Google Maps to create a true 3D map of Earth of which the player roams.

The story is simple... a group of people called the "Chosen" were seeking to destroy Earth and by using their technology and have successfully altered the electromagnetic field of Earth producing a toxic "melding" in the biosphere. The melding destroys biological systems.

To combat this, a group organized called the United Armies of the Accord, and with their technology they have created an artificial electromagnetic field that protects everything inside from the melding, producing a livable biosphere just as Earth originally was.

So then... the premise of the game is to destroy the Chosen and their technology, or the Earth is doomed.

P.S. The insects are practically mutants now, and very fun to slay when not protecting a watchtower from a Chosen invasion

P.S.S. This game reminds me of my favorite MMO of all time... Star Wars Galaxies (pre-CU)
