Andrei Tarkovsky’s eponymous film is listed as a major inspiration for the terms used in the game as well as for various storyline background elements. The player assumes the role of an illegal artifact scavenger, called a “Stalker” that is exploring the area affected by radiation named “The Zone”. Set in an alternative reality where a second nuclear disaster occurs at the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant, this first-person shooter survival horror offers a non-linear plotline and included gameplay elements such as trading and two-way communication with the non-playable characters.

Besides the impeccable gameplay, this post-apocalyptic survival title has been largely appreciated for its depiction of female characters, the insightful exploration of the human condition in a world in full turmoil and the overall subtext of the message it transmits about society and how it can change after a catastrophe. The Last of Us is played from a third person perspective and the player has access to firearms as well as improvised weapons. The game includes a very special element named “soft boundaries”, also known as the Big Nothing, which translates into a virtually endless space that players can explore.Ĭredit: Naughty DogAfter a mutated strain of the Cordyceps fungus infects humanity and transforms people into cannibalistic creatures, Joel is tasked with escorting a girl named Ellie across the collapsing United States of America.
