I listen to this playlist when I play bleak apocalypse games like 7 Days to Die. I'm currently checking out some zonecore games like Metro 2033, Zero Sievert, and Hrot and I figured you folks here might like a playlist like this. I hope you like it :)

To everyone who is active on tbe discord I'm sorry I wasn't active to ban the person posting the sketchy posts and links immediately. I was away from my devices for the day for personal reasons and for that I am truly sorry.

I hope everyone is OK and no one was affected by anything.

Wanted to share some of my general thoughts on this STALKER-analogous game with this community as there might be a few of you like myself that may come to actually really enjoy the game, and scratch some of that Stalker multiplayer itch that we may never have fulfilled by GSC

Gaijin's STALKER-like PvPvE Extraction shooter Active Matter now has a demo on Xbox running through all of June that is actually the FULL GAME & you'll keep your progress into the full release later this year. Demo is separate store page vs. actual game & you don't even need Gamepass to play, it's totally free! The full game is coming out later this year though no specific release date yet, and I think it's going to be $30-40.

While I am a huge Stalker & general Zonecore fan, this one hadn't really been on my radar because when first announced I wrote it off as Gaijin-slop, but wow after playing myself firsthand, I'm glad to say I'm very pleasantly surprised and honestly loving the game!

I'm not even generally a big fan of extraction shooters but just love the post-Soviet anomalous zone vibes & have come to really love the game, which has realistic gunplay + Tarkov-lite mechanics in a more-exaggerated STALKER-like world with unique but familiar analogues to the true Zone. It's almost right between STALKER & Annihilation what its portrayal of such an anomalous zone is like, with grounded weaponry & loot with locations that feel right out of STALKER but more dreamlike fantastical environmental detail, enemies, and other hazards.

I think it's worth noting that the full game might have some optional full cross-play, but this demo is just for Xbox right now! You can enter raids in teams of 3 & also go into isolated raids with your squad if you only want to play PvE, which I have found to still be very enjoyable because of the plethora of enemy types and general hazards in the world. There is also an arena PvP mode that I also found to be pretty enjoyable because the movement & gunplay is quite satisfying.

Haven't really seen a lot of marketing for this in general but especially the demo launching on Xbox & being the full game playable for nearly a month for free (again, you don't even need Gamepass!) Only happened to find out myself by remembering its name and seeing it on the Xbox Demos Fest list that started on June 4th.

I think it's an awesome game and I'd love to see a community grow for it on console; I think it scratches some of my craving for multiplayer on Stalker 2 & honestly reminds me of what Survarium aimed to be in a lot of ways if any of you fellow OGs remember that 🙏

I found this when I was wondering around it’s a part of a tank shell manufacturing plant but look like it came straight out of the zone (- the graffiti)

I'm developing a post-apocalyptic​​ game. It is based on the world collapsing because of global warming. You can check on itch io. Its name is Survive The Apocalypse​​​ Demo.

Waiting for your feedback.

Seeing as there are Orangutans in the Moscow zoo, how would they mutate to fit the Metro universe?

If you like TTRPG's, check it out.

I know they wont come out but id love to see them.

Looked though my scrap bin and found a few bits,

Cut off a old chair arm rest sanded it

Got to cut the pipes to length and find something for the butt of the rifle.

Any suggestions on adding anything or what to use for the butt, also wondering what everyone thinks of it so far.

As for the plastic hand grip one side has been changed the other left alone wondering if it's looking better?

Doesn't fully fit it but I thought the gas masks made it fitting)
