Best Post-Apocalyptic Games Of All Time

Many games tell an alternative history of our world, in which a nuclear war or some other mass deadly incident occurred: it is because of this that fields and forests have turned into lifeless deserts, and the planet's population has fallen by hundreds of times. In such a world, valuable resources become food and equipment, which also slowly tend towards zero. This is why the survivors unite to face adversity, bandits, and other problems.

Usually, post-apocalyptic games feature survival, crafting, and leveling elements, but there are exceptions. This list includes all games that tell about survival in post-apocalyptic conditions, regardless of genre and release year.
