Metro Exodus
As falloutthe world of Metro is based on the consequences of nuclear war. Except that instead of taking refuge in bunkers, the inhabitants had to hide in the only underground spaces they found: the metro network. A few years after the apocalypse, survivors must regularly go out into the wilderness to find food and something to defend themselves against various threats.
In Metro Exodus, the hero escapes from the Russian metro for an open-world adventure. He will meet people, good and bad, and follow a story that will last a year.

Chernobylite
This is a universe where the supernatural rubs shoulders with science fiction. The game Chernobylite, developed by Polish studio The Farm 51, transports you to the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

Players must navigate a dangerous environment, populated by supernatural creatures and radiological hazards. The complex history of Chernobylite has common themes with the series falloutwhile transposing his words into a much darker atmosphere.

Dying Light 2
We end this selection with a post-apocalyptic classic, but more centered on a zombie invasion than on a nuclear event. Dying Light 2, but also the first game in the franchise, immerses you in a world infested with the living dead. Like any good survival and action game, the title features a protagonist fighting for survival in a city devastated by an epidemic.
Featuring fluid parkour gameplay and first-person combat, players explore a dangerous urban environment while making moral decisions that influence the course of the story. It is surely this aspect of morality which will have reminded us of the series fallout.
