Hello Legion Gamers!

It seems as if April just started, and we're already in the middle of it. Time sure does fly...

Last week, we touched on the ways to reduce or repurpose waste, thank you to everyone who joined in for the advice and ideas. I set out to try some of them, but then the Fallout series came out, which captured my attention this weekend and reminded everyone of the prospects of an apocalypse.

So to add to the environmental focus of this month, the Fallout series is set in a post-apocalyptic world of humanity's own making caused by the nuclear war that never changes. But there are other games that invite us to imagine what it would be like to live in a collapsed world where disaster resulted from humankind failing to fix the environment. Surviving the Aftermath, for example:

But this is just one option, surely there are more games out there that sow where we could end up if we do not take better care of our environment. Do you know any?

I haven't played it, but I remember that a while ago there was discussion about a game named "Endling". It also shows the grim world on the brink of destruction.

@Saka Ah, yes! The one about a fox with little fox cubs, I remember that! The developers of that game even gave the interview to our very own @CandelaSynth from the Spanish community back then, though you can read it in English too.

Thank you for remembering it! And this game has a refreshing angle, showing disasters from the animal view point, reminds us that humans are not the only inhabitants of the planet.

The game has really good reviews too, I think it's something I should pick up one day. Playing something smaller once in a while can be surprisingly refreshing.

@Saka Indeed, especially if you want something cosy and light. I am playing Stardew Valley right now, after the latest 1.6 update, because it is very chill and zen and I need that right now. Endling is probably not as zen, but it is a great little game too.
