45 #9: Generation Zero (PS4)

Hailing from the Swedish studio behind the (much better) Just Cause series, Generation Zero is an open-world first-person shooter set in a post-apocalyptic Sweden plagued by killer robots. One problem: It appears to draw heavily (and without authorization) on the work of artist Simon Stålenhag, who has created numerous images of a post-apocalyptic Sweden plagued by killer robots. Another problem: It's more "empty world" than "open world," and what's present is often broken.

“So sparse is the experience that it takes about four or five bewildered hours for the reality to sink in that yes, this is all there is.” —Edge Magazine
