The Division
Unlike Fallout, The Division is set in a more contemporary, not-nuked-out wasteland—in the case of the first game a snowy NYC after a deadly virus has hit—but the post-apocalyptic vibes are still there. And unlike Fallout, the combat in the Division is good!
You’ll have to ignore the story, which is a very by-the-numbers Tom Clancy tale of soldiers and patriots, but get beyond that and you’ll discover one of the best-looking open-world maps ever created. The Division’s quiet, but not quite dead take on a snowy NYC struggling to survive is still remarkable to explore years later.
