Okay, probably a bit of an obvious one here, but let’s go for the newest version of the mainline Fallout games.Fallout 4is a great experience if you’re coming from the TV show and want some great companions, brilliant missions, and a vast world to explore. This is the closest you’re going to get to capturing the brilliant tone and pacing of the Amazon show - it has all the humour, style and grotesque nature of the wastelands.
FAR: Changing Tides
FAR
A 2D side scroller next, and one that features no firm narrative. It’s a subtle game of environmental storytelling where you travel a desolate land in a craft, stopping to solve puzzles. ButFAR: Changing Tidesis more than that, it’s the genius devices you’ll have to wield, it’s the design of the world around you, and it feels post-apocalyptic and empty, devoid of life. You feel like a sole survivor trying to make your way in the world.
Frostpunk

Frostpunkis another that changes the idea of a world-ending moment, this time dealing with plummeting temperatures and horrific cold. This isn’t a cheerful game, well, many of these aren’t, but there are parts of Frostpunk where you’ll enact child labour laws to keep your civilisation alive, or you’ll have to force the populace into horrible scenarios. Of course, you could be a kind leader, but witness as your society crumbles. It’s brutally tough, but then so is the end of the world.
Horizon Forbidden West
Forbidden West
Perhaps the prettiest apocalypse,Horizon Forbidden Westis the sequel to the franchise and succeeds in improving on what came before and making everything look lush and vibrant. Seriously, you have to see it to believe it. Feel free to exchange this for the first game so you can benefit from the story beginning, but if we’re choosing, then this one makes the list. Wage war against the machines, explore the world, and encounter wonderful characters who fill out this brilliant experience.

The Last Guardian
The Last Guardian
I’m going to includeThe Last Guardianon this list because it deserves a lot of love. It’s not action-packed, there are no weapons, and there’s barely any dialogue. Instead, you have a desolate world with just a boy and his buddy, Trico, solving puzzles, traversing the world as you watch the love between these two innocent souls. It’s gorgeous, it’s lovely, and it will whisk you away to a gorgeous place.
