The Cordyceps Cerebral Infection Pandemic has completely changed the world and forced people to rethinklife values. The main character - Joel, in the midst of an epidemic, loses his minor daughter and is left alone with the new world order. Twenty years later, by coincidence, the protagonist meets a little girl who can save humanity from extinction.

The linear narrative of the plot is compensated by a variety of combat mechanics: from ordinary crafting to complex stealth elements. Unique landscapes and a fascinating story will make you feel the atmosphere and empathize with the characters until the very end. From 2013 to this day, the game has been a PlayStation 4 exclusive.

The continuation of the masterpiece story about a little girl named Ellie, who turned out to be the only one who developed immunity to a cordyceps cerebral infection. Now Ellie has grown up and wants to take revenge on the creators of the virus that has turned the whole world into ruins, and people into animals. At the moment, the release of the game has been postponed to June 19, 2020 .

The relaunch of the Resident Evil series made a splash not only for fans of the series, but also for users who first got acquainted with the franchise. RE2 Remake brings together all the best from the original: there are also addictive puzzles seasoned with elements of survival and horror. But you must admit that in 2019 all this would look insipid without high-quality directing and action, which of course is present in the game.

A young cop named Leon on his first day of work encounters crowds of the living dead and tries to figure out what happened. In parallel, you can go through the campaign for Claire Redfield, the sister of the hero of the first part of the game - Chris. The camera that migrated over the shoulder of the protagonist makes you feel the whole atmosphere of what is happening and immerse yourself in the game with your head. And quite high-quality, albeit few videos on the engine, will add their portion of adrenaline.

A great first-person shooter action game that never slows down the pace of the game. Even after two dozen hours spent in the game, you will not get tired of exterminating hordes of demons or other monstrous monsters. One of the best aspects of the project is how it conveys the feeling that you are an unstoppable force that even the fiends are afraid of. You are the very final boss that you strive to meet during the passage of other games. Doom Eternal is a dynamic, fast, tough and fun action game at the same time. The project is not just a great FPS: it is the pinnacle of what the genre can achieve today.

One day there was an explosion that created space and time. The Exit of Death almost completely destroyed the United States, cities and the entire infrastructure of the country. And what survived is gradually finished off by temporal rains, which age everything they touch, as well as numerous creatures that came to earth with the cataclysm that happened. You are a Bridges Corporation courier who must reconnect with all the United Cities of America by moving from one base to another. Thus begins a long and somewhat challenging journey through the open world of Death Stranding. Do you have the patience to go through all the circles of hell and find out who you really are?

A direct continuation of the domestic first-person stealth action game Metro: Last Light invites the user to leave the subway and go through the expanses of post-apocalyptic Russia on the Aurora locomotive. Excellent graphics and a fascinating plot - this is the very 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 affairs and get acquainted with the magnificent story.

A first-person shooter set in a post-apocalyptic America following the release of nuclear warheads at the end of Far Cry 5 . Do not expect a dark atmosphere from the game: bright colors distinguish this project from all available games in a similar setting. You have to explore a large open world, get acquainted with its new rules, as well as free civilians from a gang of marauders and thugs who call themselves "Rogues".

Post-apocalyptic first-person action game with an open world, good graphics and good effects. An excellent combat system allows you to close your eyes to a frankly weak plot. The color scheme of Rage 2 is very similar to the previous title - Far Cry New Dawn, which also distinguishes it from other games in a similar setting. We recommend the game to all fans of big guns and spectacular shootouts.

Crazy first-person shooter with new Vault Hunters, enemies and huge locations. Borderlands 3 is distinguished not only by a fascinating storyline, but also by a good co-op. As in the previous part, you can go through the campaign together with comrades. Especially for those who like to play with friends, the game has a trophy sharing feature: now you don’t have to “fight” for every item dropped from a killed mob — with this feature, all trophies will be shared and available for each user separately.

The second part of a cooperative third-person shooter set in post-apocalyptic Washington DC. Many areas of the city have been literally brought into the game: you can see the original Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, the National Archives building and many other sights of the city. All this beauty is diluted with excellent combat and a good plot.

Zombie action from the first person with dynamic narration and elements of parkour. As in the first part, the user explores a large open world and fights hordes of ghouls. Seven different regions are available for you to explore, and their total area has increased several times compared to its predecessor. The main innovation of Dying Light 2 was the absence of firearms: in fights with the living dead, the hero can only use melee weapons.

A free third-person post-apocalyptic action game where the player takes on the role of a driver and part-time designer of military vehicles. To create a powerful and lethal vehicle, the game has everything you need: a huge amount of parts, engines, guns, and, of course, your own garage. Battles take place on large atmospheric maps of 8x8 fighters. Dynamic gameplay and an adequate community will not let you get bored. The game is perfect for those who like fast battles: it takes 5-10 seconds on average to find a match, and the battle itself lasts no more than two minutes.

Some Crossout users spend their time collecting the best vehicles and sharing them with other players using a special "Exhibition" section. So, if you only like battles, then you have the right to use any drawing that is in the public domain.

The reboot of the Fallout universe turned out to be very ambiguous, mainly due to the fact that you can watch the gameplay from behind the main character's shoulder, or not??sredstvenno from the first person. Many called the third part of the post-apocalyptic shooter an Elder Scrolls 4 clone, but only with weapons. And this is understandable: all rights to use the name were bought by Bethesda Softworks. In fact, the project turned out to be a good role-playing action movie with good graphics, tactical battles and a memorable plot.

The continuation of the restart of the Fallout series, and in particular the third part, offers to explore a large open world with a considerable number of enemies and opportunities. The player takes over?The role of the sole survivor of Vault 111, whose son was brazenly stolen while the protagonist was cryo-freezed 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 .
