Apparently it so happened that domestic minds only dream of a post-apocalypse, since the Metro series, currently consisting of three games, plunges headlong into this topic. Surely you played the first two parts, where the main character, Artyom, is trying to save the rest of civilization, and at the same time the people who managed to survive in the subway tunnels. And if in the first games the user got acquainted with the history of the protagonist directly in the subway, then in the latest series called Metro Exodus you will find an exciting journey through the expanses of post-apocalyptic Russia and Kazakhstan. Excellent graphics and a fascinating story - this is the case when not only big funds were invested in the game, but also the soul of the author. If for some reason you have not yet played the latest part of the Metro series, then we strongly recommend that you put aside all your business and get acquainted with the magnificent story.

Scientists in a certain research complex have opened a portal to another dimension. To study the flora and fauna of a parallel universe, trained personnel were sent through this portal, who could not only scan the area, but also fend for themselves in case of emergency. The next launch of the explorer was unsuccessful, the portal could not be closed, and entire races of a hostile civilization poured onto the earth. One of the researchers named Gordon Freeman managed to stop the invasion of extraterrestrial races, at least it seemed so in the finale of the first Half-Life.

The second part tells about the overgrown danger: now portal whirlwinds appear anywhere on the globe and emit hostile monsters. Not only that, the invaders still captured the earth, but Wallace Brin managed to “save” humanity. The signer of the surrender on behalf of the UN, guides the survivors and promotes tyranny. Now the Alliance dominates the earth - a group of extraterrestrial origin, which began to actively pump out earthly resources. you pr?It is worth defeating the Alliance in this war.

The continuation of the restart of the Fallout series, and in particular the third part, offers to explore a huge open world with a lot of enemies and opportunities. The player assumes the role of the sole survivor of Vault 111, whose son was brazenly stolen while the protagonist was in cryo-freeze after a nuclear disaster. We have focused on the hero's belongings for a reason, since you can play as a man or a woman.A considerable number of quests, both story and side, are diluted with various mechanics: crafting, restoring a shelter and several bases, repairing heavy suits and dynamic (and, if desired, tactical) battles. All this awaits you in the vastness of Fallout 4 .

The scientist, who lost his wife during the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, could not come to terms with this and went to the Exclusion Zone for answers. Something like this begins your journey through a completely new territory of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and the territories adjacent to it. The non-linear passage is seasoned with various survival mechanics: from searching for banal food to satisfy the hunger of not only your character, but also your subordinates, to ennobling your own base.It is worth warning that there is no open world here, but instead you can choose which task to go on yourself. A very large-scale project, which, if it does not fit into the same niche as STALKER, then at least will give oldfags a little nostalgia.

Smaller, but very beautiful project from a domestic developer. The game tells about two young people who get into a small mess somewhere in the Russian wilderness and try to escape. Despite the fact that the game is quite short, it makes you feel the atmosphere. You will have a journey through the old houses near the thicket, a picturesque church, and, of course, one of the central stations of the Moscow Metro.

Another domestic game in which the action develops approximately like in the Exclusion Zone of the STALKER world: on a mysterious island, the government conducted various experiments that got out of control.

The cooperative first-person shooter Escape from Tarkov is gaining popularity not only in the CIS, but also abroad. Huge locations, thousands of players, various quests, tons of guns and modifications. The project is positioned as a tactical shooter, so the game has no deep history: in the city of Tarkov on the territory of Russia, two private military companies clashed, which are waging a fierce struggle not for life, but for death. You are one of the PMC mercenaries who must escape from the city. Each subsequent landing should be, and will be the last, but can you stay alive and find a way out?

The former creators of STALKER undertook the development of this shooter, and the game promised to be really good, but... Over the course of several years, online has dropped dramatically, and all because game developers lack the budget and player support. However, the project is still constantly maintained and updated, although not so often. This free shooter has six game modes, one of which is the battle with artificial intelligence. During battles, you can also detect various anomalies, and excellent optimization allows you to run the application even on the weakest PC. In general, Survarium is certainly not a match for Escape From Tarkov, but a pretty good project that you can stick to for several tens of hours.
