If Horizon: Zero Dawn is available for X-Box, I'll have to look into it. I could use a hopeful game. I know it's kind of funny that I said The Rover is good Post-Apocalyptic fiction, because it's very, very bleak and very uncomfortable at points, but it has a slow and minimalistic approach that makes it feel, well, something.

If we're talking about games that don't leave you hopeful, I really can't stress enough that Wasteland 2 is not the game for you. I love tactic games and am okay with RPGs, and game mechanic wise, it's a treat. But the actual story, is bleak, like Fallout 1 & 2 without any of the humor to carry you through. What makes it worse though is, you're constantly failing. Very early in the game for example, you have to choose to rescue one of two settlements who are both giving a distress call at the same time. Rescue one, and you cause the whole region to starve, rescue the other, and the whole region will go without water. It's like that over, and over, and over in the game, where you progress, but very rarely do you ever win anything. I got as far as L.A. in that game before I finally gave it up, because I just felt so lost and I realized after a day or two that I didn't feel lost because I didn't think I could figure out what to do next in the game, but because story wise, I didn't see the point. No matter what I did, I was gonna fail somehow and things would continue to be bleak. I mean, it was like playing that game felt like it was actively causing my soul to whither. Oh, it was horrible.
