The 10 best end-of-time games for PlayStation, PC and Xbox in 2022

MeinMMO introduces you to the best end-of-time games in a post-apocalyptic scenario that you can play on PS4, PC and Xbox One. These are the best games where the world has already ended.

What is end times anyway, what kind of games are they? An “end times” scenario describes a post-apocalyptic world, ie a setting that takes place after a huge catastrophe that has changed the whole world.

The real world or an alternative reality often serves as the setting, for example years or decades after a nuclear war, a natural disaster or some other type of destructive violence.

The games listed here all have in common that you play in a destroyed world and you have to find your way around, survive or rebuild it. There are bleak scenarios in which you have to make the most of the destroyed world.

Update from January 12, 2022: We have updated the list and expanded it a little.

This is how we chose the games: The games listed below are an unordered list, not a leaderboard. In our selection, we have considered a few criteria in order to list the games:

  • Rating on Metascore and Steam
  • personal assessment of the editors
  • Success of the games

In addition, how good predecessors or other games by the developers were, especially for upcoming games, is important, as they cannot yet be measured in terms of gameplay and quality.

In the list you will find both multiplayer and single player titles from many different genres.

1. Frostpunk

Developer / Publisher: 11 bit studios | Platforms: PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S | Release: 24. April 2018 | Metascore: 84 for PC, 87 for consoles | Genre: Simulation, building strategy | Modus: Single player

What is Frostpunk about? In Frostpunk you lead a group of people who were able to flee the now eternal cold after a climate catastrophe in 1886. You are the boss of a city that you should administer and that you help to overcome the cold. Steampunk-like steam technology is available for this, with which you provide warmth.

This is how Frostpunk plays: Frostpunk is based on the need to constantly make difficult decisions: do you force children to work or do you run the risk of generators failing and part of the city freezing to death or starving? Can you keep people happy and still make sure that everything continues under adverse circumstances?

At its core, Frostpunk is a building strategy and simulation game. Accordingly, you will spend a lot of time planning your city and researching new technologies. But you also have to speak right and take care of survival. Survival elements are also present, which is why Frostpunk is one of our best survival games.

Over time, Frostpunk has gotten some DLC. The colleagues from GameStar have tested the end times game with all the DLCs:

Frostpunk should also get a second part. A release for it is still pending. According to rumors, Frostpunk 2 should appear in 2022. That long, however, you will still have enough to do with the first part.

Frostpunk is worth it for you, if

  • you have no problem making tough decisions.
  • you are a fan of building strategy, town planning and planning (similar to the Caesar series).
  • you like steampunk or are not in the mood for a post-war world or zombie apocalypses.

Frostpunk is from the makers of This War of Mine, which is one of the best mobile survival games. So if you already liked this bleak setting and the difficult decisions, you should take a look at Frostpunk.
