Afterworld aims to make Paradox’s grand strategy feel approachable in a post-apocalyptic North America

This hands-on preview argues Afterworld could finally make Paradox’s signature grand strategy approachable: you start with a selectable origin, scout a procedurally generated map, and unlock idea-driven mechanics that gradually reveal new systems as you explore. Bands with needs and values shape governance, diplomacy, and warfare, while the game emphasizes a mobile, flexible rhythm and “society-crafting” over information overload. The early look left the reviewer excited to play more and hopeful it could be Paradox’s most approachable grand strategy yet.

The Dog Stars misses lift in Ridley Scott's post-apocalyptic drama

Euronews Culture’s Film of the Week verdict labels Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars slow and derivative, failing to convincingly blend introspection with action. Despite Erik Messerschmidt’s striking cinematography and Josh Brolin’s memorable goatee, Jacob Elordi’s Hig can’t anchor an underdeveloped story, leaving the post-apocalyptic tale uneventful and lacking in depth. The film is currently in cinemas.

Ukraine War Shapes Metro 2039 Into a Stark Ukrainian Post-Apocalypse Tale

Ukraine’s war has reshaped 4A Games’ Metro 2039 from a war-prevention tale to a darker, distinctly Ukrainian post-apocalypse narrative, emphasizing choices and consequences. Though based in Malta, the Kyiv-founded studio says most of the team is Ukrainian, working under outages and drone threats while prioritizing family. The game, set in the Moscow metro under an authoritarian regime led by The Hunter and featuring The Stranger, uses its own engine to tell “frozen stories” with minimal dialogue. It’s scheduled for this winter on Windows, Xbox Series, and PS5.
