I’m always torn between Fallout 3 and Bioshock! Bioshock’s level design is weirdly beautiful, and it absolutely nails the Ayn Rand/retro-futuristic vibe – but the DC ruins of Fallout 3 are absolutely haunting! I’ll never forget leaving Vault 101 for the first time 🙂

Thanks for creating this list! You’ve inspired me to round-up my own favourite post apocalyptic games – it’d be great to hear what you think of my choices!

Good Lord, this list is terrible. If you admit yourself that a setting “isn’t exactly post-apocalyptic,” don’t include that game in a post-apocalyptic list. Also, how in the hell can you justify including games that haven’t been released yet? Of all of the post-apocalypse games out there, you couldn’t find enough to fill ten slots, and needed to resort to placeholders. How is this website still active . . .

In reply to Kosmos. The city of Rapture is destroyed, and we're talking about the setting IN THE GAME. So yeah, since the place that the game takes place in is destroyed, it does qualify.

In reply to ConstableDubs. The article talks strictly about where the game is set. And since the world of BioShock, i.e. Rapture, is all but destroyed, it DOES classify as "post-apocalyptic".

Is Bioshock actually post-apoc? Doesn’t it actually take place in the 50s? (As in, it can’t be after the apocalypse because you know, we’re past the 50s and it still hasn’t happened yet.)

Using unreleased games in a list? You haven’t played them yet.

I don’t think Rapture counts as post-apocalyptic. The world is still going on above the sea, it’s just that Rapture just got done with a civil war.

I think Stalker does it quite well, and considering it is a sandbox game as opposed to linear it definitely gives you that “Alone” feeling.
