Lost scavenger is a hardcore game about surviving in an open world that is overrun by the Mist. You play as an ordinary guy from our world that has fallen into an anomaly and found himself in a world that has been haunted by the Mist for the last 30 years. How far could you make it in a dying world in which every step may be your last? Would you be able to find the way to your homeworld, or will you adapt to live under the Mist domain? Fight for resources, get together with other survivors and discover the secrets of this world. This is your story.

Unique world. The postapocalyptic world shrouded in impenetrable Mist. Small anclaves of survivours are scattered around what has left of the world. Do you have what it takes to find your path through all this?

No grind. No character leveling, no skill trees, no EXP whatsoever. Instead, you have to learn to play better, use your strengths and compensate your weaknesses. Git gud!
-
Randomly generated world. Different biomes, weather conditions, anclaves and quests make every playthrough unique.
-
Immersive simulation. The narration is dynamic and depends on your world generation settings and actions that you perform in that world. Every playthrough is a new story. And it is not necessary to follow the storyline: you can just wander around the world to try yourself!

Nuclear Drifter
I enjoy post-apocalyptic games and found Nuclear Drifter a fantastic “old school” game. The game play and controls are simple and easy to learn - point and click. The graphics and animation are pretty good especially for an old school designed game. The background music is rather relaxing. I usually turn off background music; but, left the game running, even when I was not playing, for my own background sound. The back story and general story line could use a bit of work, I was a bit surprised to have the game suddenly stopping with a cliffhanger message about future updates leaving two unfinished quests. Overall, I found Nuclear Drifter enjoyable, relaxing to play, and I am looking forward to the update so I can finish those quests.

SAVE THE GAME BEFORE YOU ENGAGE IN A FIGHT WHERE YOU MIGHT LOSE. When you nail the art of remembering to save the game, the gameplay is fun and the music is cool

Scraplers
I think the idea is nice, and also the game implementation is not bad (given the very low price). It sure lacks improvements in many areas and also a few basic items (I couldn’t even find a way to exit the game or go back to starting menu, there isn’t a command/key list). The main problem, even given the fair price, is that to me the game is too grindy even from the starting point; I’ve played maybe 6 or 7 games in 3 hours, and never managed to gain enough money to do anything before dying against a swarm of 3-4 tanks or a huge one that easily absorbed my shots before transforming my little machine in a pile of fuming scraps… After death you go back to the starting camp in an even shittier situation, stuck in a tiny machine with no weapons and no way to survive. I think the combat itself is good, landing a nice shot while evading enemy tanks is somewhat rewarding, but the cost of repairs, fuel and ammo easily eats most of the money gained, and the repetition of combats, deaths and having to restart from the beginning made me gave up on the game.

Scraplers, what is there to say about this title.
I think the dev team wanted to create a steam punk pirate game.
You own a landship, which have properties(guns placement and troop carrying capacity),
and you raid around to get bigger a boat and have more troop capacity.
The concept is interesting.
Sadly, at this point in the development,
there doesn’t seem to be something to do with those mechanics.
You can grind to get bigger boat but beyond that the world is bare.
System to raise relations with NPC are in place

Global Pandemic
The plan was to experiment with Dinosaur and Zombie DNA.
The plan was NOT to create a virus, NOT to let it out, and NOT to effect the whole world.
The vast majority of the population of the planet died within months. Those that remained either “Turned” vicious and feral, or if immune to the pandemic, live their lives as bandits. All are dangerous. Not to mention the Dinosaurs…
Game Play
Set in a post-apocalyptic open world, you can create bases through building, and create items through crafting. Loot is available to find throughout the world. Manage your own inventory, and use containers such as lockers, crates, kitchen cupboards, and more.
Bandits, the Turned (Zombies), wild animals, and even dinosaurs (optionally!) will seek to kill you. You will also have to deal with thirst, hunger and the elements.
Explore the ever-growing world, full of places to discover, by running or using vehicles. From military bases, to abandoned villages - from motels to remote buildings - from hidden caves to farms - every update brings more to discover and encounter, in Global Pandemic.
An innovative skills and stats system will see your character develop in your own game style (or set all to fully developed if you prefer!).
Can you survive? Who will you be? What world will you create?

Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead
Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead shows there is still life in the zombie apocalypse trope.
I’ve long been a fan of using fictional post-apocalyptic settings as a way to explore deeper themes surrounding humanity, so even though we’re currently in the midst of a pandemic (a common cause leading to fictional post-apocalyptic universes), The Walking Dead universe setting of this game was guaranteed to immediately pique my interest. My interest was even more piqued when I realized it was a puzzle-solving game, because I thoroughly enjoy the mental stimulation that comes from wrestling with puzzles. This interest was paid off with a delightful experience provided by Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead, which I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys physics-based simulation-puzzle games, regardless of the setting.

75/100 some hard puzzles wait^^
Playthrough: 18-20hours (100% Achievements)
Each mission comes with a short Intro.. sadly you have to confirm each dialogue.. annoying.
Also don´t expect total freedom.. some solutions don´t work because the devs were lazy and rushed Release. Still, it´s a nice game to relax a bit and use your brain.
*some stats :
Chapter 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 - 49,2% / 22% / 12,7% / 9,2% / 7,3%

Desolation Tycoon
The world has ended, but life moves on. Your home is a wasteland scoured by winds blowing in from a caustic sea. Most large mammals are extinct, and insects have filled their roles.
You are a merchant traveling this land in search of profit. Each character you play starts with a randomly generated history and traits. And eventually, each character’s career will come to an end — whether through successful retirement or tragic death.
The game remembers everything you do, and the world is persistent across characters. As a consequence of your actions, civilization will slowly grow and rebuild. Accomplishments accrued across any number of characters will unlock new cities, new crew units, new challenges, and so on.
There is no fixed storyline. Instead, you have a setting, a set of gameplay mechanics, and complete freedom to do with that what you will.
Core features:
-
Travel, trade, and defend your cargo from dangers.
-
Improve your skills through usage.
-
Find and explore places that are worth plundering.
-
Build relationships with city notables, and co-operate with them on various schemes.
-
Rebuild a persistent world across multiple lifetimes.
-
Make trade-offs in encounters that are purely decision-driven, and avoid grindy minigames.
-
Enjoy a high-information user interface that doesn’t ask you to remember things unnecessarily.
Example challenges:
-
Local climate calamities.
-
Giant insects, bandits, and much worse.
-
Each character will automatically retire if they live long enough; this does not leave enough time to develop all possible skills.
-
Networks of supply and demand are randomized between playthroughs.
-
You can’t stay in a trade route rut, because trading with the same cities too much will make it less profitable.
-
You and your crew can become injured or sick — and possibly die as a result.
-
The locals that you trade and scheme with have minds of their own, and may betray you.
-
Performance-enhancing symbiotes may seem like a great idea, but can lead to unfortunate side-effects.
-
Oh, and there are also demons. They complicate everything.
This is not an action-oriented game. Time doesn’t pass unless you’re doing something, and there are no real-time challenges. Instead, gameplay is strictly about the making of intelligent trade-offs in an open-world setting with many potential courses of action.
Kenshi
I have a lot of games in my library. This one has the most hours.
There is just something to say about suffering and struggling and every bandit pwning you for days. Then one day you are standing victorious while unconscious enemies lay piled around you.
Take the fight to those holy nation sanctimonious bigoted jerks, seriously those guys suck.
Shoot the tax man when he comes to collect, and when he returns with muscle I shoot them too.
After being beaten nothing says I win by making your own rules even if the NPC says no.
– Real player with 805.3 hrs in game
Simply the best game of this genre I’ve played, which is no contest because Kenshi is the first of it’s kind. I stayed away from it for years because I kept saying “ew, graphics.” I couldn’t have cheated myself more with that sentiment. Kenshi is far and beyond anything I expected. With a handcrafted world full of history, it’s up to you and lady luck to decide if you create a story of untold triumph, or utter defeat.
Wanna be a bounty hunter? craftsman? farmer? wandering samurai? Robin Hood? Maybe you just want to found a city, you can do almost anything! Additionally the modding community is very active to this day, heck, the game comes with it’s own built in modding tools so you can make your own mods!
