Other great Post-Apocalyptic games?

Was just cruising Steam and remembered that i've never played STALKER. Also Metro 2033 looked interesting.

Mostly I just play FPS and RPG, but whatever suggestions you have would be welcome

The Stalker games are pretty neat. There are a ton of mods out there that really boost up the gameplay and fix the bugs.
Also, they are pretty cheap at the moment. Try them if you like challenging FPS games.
Especially Shadow of Chernobyl had some very scary and atmospheric moments, too. X16 and X18... Really, really scary.

Metro 2033 is pretty neat, too. Looks fantastic and has great atmosphere, but it's pretty short. It should be rather cheap, too, so if you have a PC that can handle it, give it a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I got some enjoyment out of Borderlands with friends online.

I keep trying to finish Call of Pripyat, and I never completed Chernobyl; the story is weak and the RPG elements are <Fallout 3. Not great combat either, although when I first started ripyat an invisible monster catching me off gaurd in a swamp at midnight was the first enemy in years to make me try my hardest to win the battle.

This is a good thing? I can't tell by how you phrased it, heh.

Have you ever played Far Cry and/or Crysis series on hardest difficulty? That's a pretty crazy experience if you're into challenges.

It is a good thing to me anyway, Call of Duty, Battlefield and other contempory games seem to boil down to: take cover while your wounds magically heal, pop up and hold the trigger, then move forward.

I played Far Cry I, not extensivley, and I own and have completed both Crysis games on the hardest difficulty, as long as you have a silencer and can accuratley pop heads at long range it becomes more formulaic and time consuming than difficult.

Try out project zomboid. Its an extremely realistic isometric sandbox zombie-survival RPG. Up to the point were you actually get halucinations if you're alone to long or panic to often. You can of course combat this with betablockers or alcohol, but then you could get addicted.

Metro 2033 is absolutely beautiful and very atmospheric. But it wasn't my type of game, really, very frantic.

Metro: Last Light and Rage are worth keeping an eye on as post-apocalyptic shooters.

Borderlands is ok but really only as a multiplayer game.

What's this "mad plays Fallout 1" all about? Just a play-through showing people what the game is like?

tried the demo, it's a lot of fun. but the controls are shitty.

think I'm gonna buy the whole game though, seems like a lot of fun can be had.

Fort Zombie by Kerberos. 3rd Person shooter/rpg. Its actually a test of the engine for another project but kerberos made a game of it. It costs about 10 bucks, and is pretty immersive and very unforgiving. Has some bugs but none that are gamebreaking. You have to secure a stronghold and then gather survivors and supplies and prepare for a final zombieinvasion.

I found the idea very cool and i like the way kerberos is handling their products and fanbase. Release of Sword of the Stars 2 should be soon.

I had trouble figuring it out. I couldn't find anything to bandage her wounds with, so she died, and can't find any good weapons. Best I got was a wooden plank which didn't do shit against the zombies. That game is pretty hardcore, or I was just stupid. Not sure which one.
