Looking for a list of the best apocalypse games on PC? There’s something about the end of the world that sounds more enticing than it probably should. No law, no order, and seemingly no consequences effectively turn the world into some kind of wild party. If anarchy isn’t your cup of tea then you can spend your time exploring chaotic new frontiers, digging through the bombed-out ruins of a civilisation wiped out for supplies.

Whether it’s a zombie apocalypse, a robot uprising, or nuclear fallout, the post-apocalypse is ripe for narrative experimentation in all forms of media – and games take full advantage of the setting by letting you decide what kind of wastelander you want to be. Will you bring justice? Domination? Salvation? We’ve foraged and scavenged eight of our favourite apocalypse games below to help you decide – offering everything from horror games and heartache, to sandbox games and tactical combat.
