Check out this post which is one of the most popular of all time. Sometimes you just need an escape. For some, this might mean a good movie or visiting with friends. First up on the list is The Forest , a game that pits you not only against the elements, but also a tribe of mutant cannibals that are intent on getting you out of their territory—one way or another.
With fantastic graphics and a compelling story, The Forest is equal parts survival game and slow-burn horror. There are no outright scares, per se, but it can be very unsettling at times. Having to survive hunger and thirst as well as the raging cannibals makes for a very good game. Metacritic score: Rather than a tribe of cannibals, your greatest enemies are the biting cold, starvation, and ravenous wolves.
You begin the game in an airplane, which, of course, crashes. A global event has essentially destroyed all electronics, and the game wastes no time.
You have to crawl out of the wreckage and get shelter, or you freeze to death. But shelter is nothing without fire—at least, not in a blizzard.
The game has a story mode as well, but where it really shines is in its sandbox approach. Your only task is to stay alive for as long as you can. The first on our list to feature zombies, State of Decay 2 is a game that wastes no time. There is a faint storyline, but the focus is put squarely on surviving an onslaught of walking dead.
One neat feature of the game is that you play as one of four characters, each with their own abilities and stats. This gives the game some nice added tension.
He is soon reluctantly tasked with transporting a girl who appears to be immune to the zombie virus across the country, where her unique ability might be the key to saving humanity. Joel is no superhuman, either.
Of course, this is the sequel to the very popular The Last of Us. Still a Playstation exclusive, The Last of Us 2 takes place years after the events of the first game.
Things are grittier, darker, and for the characters, even more brutal. In this outing, surviving the zombies is the easy part. You can buy it here. In Days Gone , you play as a grizzled ex-biker in a post-apocalyptic world, filled with—you guessed it—zombies. The game is fully open-world, so missions and progression are left up to the player.

Knots 3D or MyHoard , …. So face it. So use your 21st century gadgets where they are useful. Yeah, you are right with what you say, Conran, so ,sorry for critical remarks. I stand corrected. Bring back the 19th century! Very interesting piece.
I am, however, quite saddened by the fact that too many of the apps were for iphone only. A lot of possibilities were lost there for me and all other android users. Two stars. Books should still be a priority. Smart phones are still electronic and can be tracked and hacked. That may not be to your advantage. I agree. The apps are good as long as you do not become earmarked as some kind of enemy of the state or terrorist.
Then it would be best to through your phone away since it can be tracked. I think to get them now for learning and use is a great idea, but one must never become dependent on a trackable device. Very good peice. I love the involvement of using tech to our advantage. Batteries die, phones fry when wet, etc.
