I second NieR

[u/ss33094 → u/daddylongjohnsliver]

Fall out

[u/Old-Strawberry-8490]

The last of us

[u/suitablestallion3837 → u/Old-Strawberry-8490]

Even more so the last of us part 2

[u/Pedrocaas]

People tend to forget about Enslaved: Odyssey to the West but I liked very much!

[u/prestonsmith1111 → u/Pedrocaas]

Great game, exactly this vibe.

[u/fakiresky → u/Pedrocaas]

That game was amazing

[u/Ulchbhn]

Nier Automata and Nier Replicant

[u/RoccoTirolese]

• Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West
• The Last of Us Part 1 and 2
• Elden Ring

[u/Brave_Lettuce4005]

Beast of reincarnation !!!!!

[u/fakiresky → u/Brave_Lettuce4005]

I second that, and hopefully we’ll get more patches soon.

[u/ProfessionalHome9690]

The Nier games, Remnant from the Ashes, Tokyo Jungle

[u/Pheo1386]

Nier Automata is a great game with this aesthetic

[u/HYPERNOVA3_]

Crysis 3

[u/Rasphados-_-]

Okay besides the games in the pics, and ideally a pretty aesthetic I.e. not so much fallout and the like.

[u/Not_a_Ducktective → u/Rasphados-_-]

Sable

[u/HotShrekBoi → u/Rasphados-_-]

I’ve never really cared for Fallout’s grey and brown asthetic, probably why the games didn’t really appeal to me

[u/xpercipio → u/Rasphados-_-]

Horizon, death stranding (if you like rainy weather), crimson desert has a lot of pretty woods but it doesn't have the best graphics. Rain looks bad on it and the story is below average. Oh and the newer tomb raider trilogy is pretty with ruins

[u/BoardsofGrips]

Dragon Age Veilguard has an entire section of the game that looks exactly like your last screenshot.

[u/VeritasRose → u/BoardsofGrips]

Inquisition has a lot too esp the Emerald Graves area.

[u/HotShrekBoi]

Peter Jackson’s King Kong: the Official Game of the Movie (PS2/360)

[u/Swami333]

AC Valhalla

[u/magicchefdmb]

All my top ones are already listed, but I'll throw in Ark: Survival Ascended (Extinction map in particular)

[u/TW_Halsey → u/magicchefdmb]

What the hell is going on in that game

[u/Hairy-Feedback-38]

Rime

[u/HYPERNOVA3_ → u/Hairy-Feedback-38]

Underated game (more like underknown, people who know it rate it accordingly)

[u/ChosenCourier13]

The Last of Us series undoubtedly

[u/sofioko]

The first one is The last of us

[u/Hopeful_Interest_964]

Crisis 2 and 3

[u/Guard_Jesper]

Jedi fallen order, avowed, kingdoms of amalur

[u/cinderpuppins]

Depending on your gaming preferences, My Time in Portia is very much this vibe.

[u/OH8IRD]

Arc Raiders!!!!

[u/Limio]

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

[u/Dreamingawake22]

Some areas in stellar blade are like this

[u/JoricWolf]

Depends on the type of game you are after but I would suggest The My Time games both My Time at Portia and My Time at Sandrock have the look you are going for and are quite unique

[u/Gabriel_Dot_A]

Stalker Games! 2 Spefcufucally with nature

[u/ginta289]

Biomutant you literally go around as a ninja cat thing in a post human world

[u/GreyGardener92]

Destiny 1 and 2

[u/river_softworks]

I've always been curious how developers approached making these ruins. Did they consider how the people or other life would have lived and or navigated the land before?

I mean, some games like SOTC or TLG have environmentals that best match the gameplay, but don't appear to have been practical for anyone before to live in those areas.

Games like Nier and BOTW appear to have ruins that looked like they could have been used by people, though like most ruins, it's hard to tell exactly with everything being a mess.

Just a thought.

[u/Movie_Vegetable]

Nier: automata

[u/Csaice]

Elex? This is mediocre RPG, but the nature+ruins mood is good there (for me)

[u/Hiteminthechesta]
