Do you enjoy games where the world is falling apart, technology is failing, and civilization lies buried under a layer of radioactive dust?
If so, Atomfall should definitely be on your radar. Released on March 27, 2025, this is the latest title from Rebellion — the studio behind Sniper Elite and Zombie Army.
The game transports us to an alternate 1950s Britain, where a nuclear disaster has twisted reality into a strange and dangerous version of itself. From a first-person perspective, you’ll explore deserted towns, secret government facilities, and cult-controlled regions, all while trying to survive in a world that no longer works the way it should.

A blend of survival, action, and atmospheric exploration has made Atomfall increasingly popular among players. In this roundup, we’ve picked games that offer a similar experience — whether through gameplay, mood, or setting. We focused on titles with a first- or third-person perspective, RPG or survival elements, combat, and those set in post-catastrophe worlds — be it nuclear, societal, or just plain unexplainable. Here are some games worth checking out if you’re into Atomfall.
Pacific Drive
| Release date: | 2024-02-22 |
| Genre: | Simulator & Adventure & Indie & Racing |
| Developer: | Ironwood Studios |
In Pacific Drive, you enter the mysterious Olympic Exclusion Zone in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S., where the boundaries between reality and anomaly have long since blurred.
Your journey is made in a beat-up station wagon, which serves as your base, vehicle, and last line of defense in a world overflowing with inexplicable phenomena.
This is survival with a twist — there’s no direct combat with enemies, but a constant battle against the environment itself. Anomalies, bizarre weather conditions, and an eerie atmosphere make every journey a challenge. Pacific Drive is about survival, scavenging, and upgrading your car — but above all, it’s a game about what happens when technology spins out of control.

Fallout 76
| Release date: | 2018-11-14 |
| Genre: | Shooter & Role-playing (RPG) |
| Developer: | Bethesda Game Studios |
Set in post-nuclear West Virginia, Fallout 76 casts you as a resident of Vault 76 emerging into a devastated world, trying to rebuild it — or simply survive.
Though it had a rocky start, Fallout 76 has evolved into a much richer and more polished experience, now filled with secrets, stories, and massive events.
It’s classic Fallout — dark humour, mutations, warring factions, and remnants of pre-war technology. Instead of a linear storyline, you get an open world brimming with danger and mystery, playable solo or with others. In terms of atmosphere and mechanics, it’s one of the closest experiences to what Atomfall offers.

Green Hell
| Release date: | 2019-09-05 |
| Genre: | Simulator & Strategy & Adventure & Indie |
| Developer: | Creepy Jar |
Green Hell may not feature mutants or a traditional apocalypse, but it presents something just as deadly — the jungle.
You play as a scientist stranded deep in the Amazon who must not only survive the harsh wilderness but also unravel the mystery of his missing wife and a series of unsettling events. Survival here is hyperrealistic: dealing with wounds, illnesses, and the protagonist’s mental health.
Green Hell captures perfectly feelings of isolation, helplessness, and the raw need to endure in a hostile world. It’s not just about eating bugs and building huts — it’s an intense, emotional experience. Fans of Atomfall will appreciate the immersion and ever-present threats that lurk not only behind the foliage, but also within the protagonist’s own mind.

Fallout 4: London (Mod)
| Release date: | 2017-09-26 |
| Genre: | Shooter & Role-playing (RPG) |
| Developer: | Bethesda Game Studios |
Fallout: London is the largest and most ambitious mod/add-on ever made for Fallout 4 — one that surpasses many full-fledged games.
Set in a post-nuclear London, it introduces new factions, a distinct atmosphere, and that unmistakable British sense of humour. Although it requires Fallout 4 and all its expansions, this is a whole new experience in its own right.
Why is Fallout: London on this list? Because it’s Atomfall before Atomfall existed. Same setting (post-apocalyptic UK), same gameplay style (FPP, exploration, survival, action), but made by fans, for fans. It blends the familiar Fallout formula with a fresh cultural context, offering something both new and comfortably familiar for post-apocalypse enthusiasts.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
| Release date: | 2024-11-20 |
| Genre: | Shooter & Role-playing (RPG) & Adventure |
| Developer: | GSC Game World |
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series has long held its place as one of the most atmospheric and intense portrayals of life after a disaster.
Heart of Chornobyl is the highly anticipated continuation, once again plunging us into the Zone — the deadly area surrounding the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, teeming with mutants, anomalies, and chilling secrets. In the Zone, every choice could be your last.
Gameplay combines FPS combat, RPG elements, and survival mechanics, with a strong emphasis on storytelling. STALKER 2 isn’t just about shooting and looting — it’s a deep narrative about survival, moral dilemmas, and people trying to find meaning in a ruined world.

Atomfall combines the best elements of atmospheric post-apocalyptic gaming: tension, exploration, survival, and action — all set in the unique backdrop of 1950s Britain. If you’re craving more of that vibe, the games listed above should hit the mark. Each brings its own take on the genre, but they all share one core idea: the world has ended, and it’s up to us to make sense of what’s left.
