Board 8 > What're some good post-apocalyptic video games?

(+) Yeah! (+)

After playing Fragile Dreams and with Rage on the horizon, I'm looking for something to fill the gap. If all else fails, I might finally pick up Resistance and start playing through them, but I really like games in a posy-apocalyptic future, rather than the past.

Off the top of my head, I've already played:

The aforementioned Fragile Dreams
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Fallout series (more or less)
Gears of War series

I'm aware of 2033, but I don't quite fancy it. Also, no racing games.


I'll also take suggestions on films too. S'all good.

Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain - and most fools do.

Ooo, I also like games like Disaster Report and Disaster: Day of Crisis, but that's a pretty niche genre.

Played Nocturne, lost interest in it pretty quickly. Not much emphasis on plot. Or character development. And those dungeons just went on and on and on. Seriously, I played it for, what, five hours and I was still in the second dungeon or something.

And nothing old or fantastical (yes, you, FFVI). What's the point of having a post-apocalypse if you can't ogle the pretty destroyed buildings?

STALKER, if nuclear apocalypse counts

Shadow of Chernobyl is really great and Call of Pripyat is even better

Forget Nocturne.

I have looked at STALKER, but I'm not huge on PC gaming. I mean, my laptop is powerful enough to play them, I guess, though it's in dire need of a cleaning out.

I had DDS for ages and never played it. Dunno why not. Probably because I also had Persona 3 and I wanted to play that more and wasn't playing it.

Normally I'd say no to Beneath a Steel Sky, looking at it, but seeing as it's on the iPhone, I might just. Gimme something to do at work. Same goes for Machinarium if they do a port.

If you have DDS, I"d recommend playing it.

I didn't like Nocturne very much because of the lack of character interaction (at least early on, not sure about later). But I loved DDS.

Not sure why Fallout has the "more or less" qualifier.

Borderlands

We are thought, and reality, and concept, and the unimaginable

The more or less refers to me having played the whole series.

And I have played Bordlerlands. That's a different planet.

That was post-apocalyptic? Well, played it anyhow.

Wasteland.

It's the game that inspired Fallout.

I don't know I've never actually played it. Just giving a suggestion.

Half-Life 2 for sure in any case, totally forgot about that. It's more dystopian than post-apocalyptic but it still fits the bill.

Not sure if you'd count Resident Evil, but if you haven't played those, they're good.

Bastion's whole premise is rebuilding after an apocalypse. It's a pretty great game, too.
