we need more post-dystopian earth games like half life 2
the atmosphere in that game gave me loving chills especially in parts like ravenholm at first (i was an ultra-pusillanimous individual because i was scared of poison headcrabs and poison headcrab zombies and wasted stuff tons of ammo, grenades, and smg grenades dealing with them quickly)
we also need more space civil-war games like ftl. that stuff's atmosphere, when you look into it, is actually loving depressing. especially when one of the races is on both sides
we very much need "Just crashed on a barely colonized planet in pre-dystopian anarchy" kind of games like Rimworld. I enjoyed that it payed attention to detail and that the place where you are actually decides your defenses.
