Did you ever play any of the BioShock series? It's the best linear set of games I've played. BioShock Infinite is eventually mind-blowing. And if you ever get a PC, you should try the Stalker series. Just about the best post-apocalyptic game setting I've ever played. They nailed the atmosphere and the gameplay is pretty good.

I actually did play some of it, and though I did enjoy it a lot, it was actually freaking me out. The gloomy dark atmosphere had something to do with it, I think. I really must man up (sort of) and give it another try.

There is all kinds of gloom and it is pretty depressing. But, the pacing and gameplay is very good. I found the Burial at Sea pt2 DLC disturbing towards the end. Too brutal for me. But, no worse than a lot of movies, which I tend to avoid.
