From Fallout to Stalker, GOG's 'Post-apocalyptic Sale' has some strong discounts on well-reviewed PC games

No doubt celebrating the good reception that the new Fallout TV show has had, I've spotted that GOG has launched a week-long post-apocalyptic sale that discounts many games that offer some sort of 'the world's gone to s**t' setting, from irradiated wastelands to zombie apocalypses.

I've played many of these games, too, making it easy for me to make some recommendations, which I thought might be useful for anyone in the PC gaming community who, beyond the Fallout series, could be looking for something a bit different. As such, here are but a few of the discounted games available now that I think it could be worth checking out.

Days Gone | $12.65/£10 (75% off)
A cracking open-world zombie survival game with plenty of explosive action and, neatly for someone like me who rides and loves motorcycles, some epic motorcycle vehicle fun, too.

Dying Light: Definitive Edition | $8.85/£7 (75% off)
A strong first-person open world zombie survival game that offers plenty of fun in singleplayer or co-op. This Definitive Edition comes with all the game's DLC, including the large The Following expansion.

Mad Max | $4.04/£3.19 (80% off)
An open-world action game loaded with plenty of melee and vehicular combat, Mad Max tasks players with surviving The Wasteland. Upgrading your car is fun, as too is smashing bandits.

Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl | $3.15/£2.49 (75% off)
Most the Stalker series is on sale right now, but the OG classic first-person shooter with surivial horror atmosphere is a great introduction. That bit with the Controller mutant still spooks me!

Kenshi | $9.19/£2.49 (60% off)
If you like the sound of a vast, post-apocalypse survival sandbox, then Kenshi will appeal. Under its not particularly pretty visuals is a game of deep depth, where you can do what you want.

Beyond a Steel Sky | $7.59/£6 (80% off)
The high-scoring sequel to classic point-and-click, Beneath a Steel Sky, Beyond a Steel Sky offers an immersive adventure game set in a cyberpunk dystopia. Charles Cecil
