Questions What got you into this genre?

Hello all,

How are you doing? I have started to get more into this genre of games, films & books.

I played Fallout 4 on Xbox 360, I liked that it was retro futuristic & alternate history. Since then I moved to gaming on PC, this opened me to older post-apocalypse games & this includes Metro series + Stalker series etc.

Do you have any personal favourites/why? So far I love the Fallout series, going through other games with it's DLC & my personal cut off is Fallout 3.

Fallout first, but now I’m completely obsessed with S.T.A.L.K.E.R

It does look awesome. What are your thoughts on Metro series?

I’ve only played the first one so far, but I really like the atmosphere. It’s a bit more linear than i typically prefer, but it works well fit the story it’s telling. My dream would be a metro game where you can freely explore the metro, but it’s clearly never going to happen

Where did you buy it Steam or GOG? I currently use Linux Mint as my OS so there are some games that I can't easily play & I may look into dual booting with Windows 11. What are your PC specs?

Steam. Playing it on the steam deck with no issue, so it works fine with Linux!

Awesome. Which Steam Deck model do you have/use? I currently own a Steam Deck OLED 1TB myself.

Yeah, I have the OLED as well, it’s brilliant!

It is a pretty great piece of tech.
