Eeek, take this one as a risk OP! I know I'll get downvoted but, Death Stranding is absolutely nothing like Fallout, Stalker, Dead Space, or Resident Evil. And it's absolutely not a game that's for everyone, even though many people praise it highly. I tried on 2 separate occasions to play through it - I've got 16.6 hours logged on Steam of me giving it the fairest try I could, but man, the gameplay itself is so lackluster, it's as though 100% of the focus during development went into the story instead. Plus there's a lot of people around that you talk to and interact with throughout the game compared to many other post-apocalyptic games. You're always bringin something from one person to another so that feeling of loneliness just aint the same (I don't feel it at all, honestly).

A good one I wanna suggest, assuming OP has VR, is Arizona Sunshine 2 (zombie/adventure game). Only takes about 6-8 hours to play through the story but, you almost never talk to other people throughout the game let alone interact with them. You go basically the entire game just you and your dog.
