Though I'm not sure why, this game gives me the impression that it's genuine or honest in some way that newer games are not. It feels like a time capsule buried during a foregone era when games were designed to provide a fun experience rather than to foster an addiction.

If you don't mind skimming the manual and adapting to the mildly outdated controls, this game is so much fun. The world is packed with detail and there are many different stories to explore. I will probably be playing it through one or two more times.

One of the best atmospheres in all of gaming. A super interesting story, terrifying and sometimes hideous visuals that aged like wine, and many different ways to build your character. Fallout, as well as its sequel, are incredible RPGs. It's a huge shame Bethesda got its hands on the IP, and made a series of horrible games.
