Apocalypse games have some of the most engaging atmospheric settings to them. It’s where society breaks down and chaos takes over. It’s everyone for themselves and only the strong survive. Here are the most engaging open-world survival apocalypse games to date.
Helldivers 2 players have taken it upon themselves to shoot those wearing pre-order armor. The developers are asking those involved to stop this undemocratic behavior.
Soul Covenant feels like a game from the early 2000s, with its repetitive gameplay loop, waggle controls, and nonsensical story.
Indie developer Carlos Alfonso is working on Cold VR, a game where standing still isn't an option. The complete opposite to SUPERHOT VR.
Pretty good list there. Fallout, STALKER and Day Z for sure.
Day Z takes the cake in my opinion. Playing it feels like being an extra from 'The Walking Dead'. The social interactions and friction when encountering other survivors (real people) make this game stand out from others.
Even in Beta it's a blast.
I recommend it to anyone who is firstly, patient with the fiddely inventory, but most inportantly into the exploring and survival style of gaming and doesn't mind not always being a hero.
Fallout 3 FTW.
Have there been very many games that match this limited criteria? I honestly don't know.
