Can't believe I ignored this series for years. The first game has aged a bit since it was released in 2011, and the sequel in 2019 has held up and is loads of fun.
Lots of carnage, cool weapons, and the environment is a hell of a lot like Mad Max. Would definitely recommend picking up especially now with the Steam summer sales. They really are hidden gems!
The pop-in was atrocious, and most of the textures were pretty low fidelity. The gameplay is pretty generic, but very well executed. I enjoyed both, but I don't know if I would replay them. I do recommend them if they're on sale.
It does a little bit, the story is a meteorite hits earth and you were placed in cryostasis with thousands of other people with the intention of repairing and repopulating earth one hundred years after the meteorite hits. I thought it was a cool concept personally lol
