Woken in a shallow grave, a bullet in your head, and the whole post-nuclear Mojave to rebuild or burn.

On gut feeling, the community likes it a lot, even if on few direct votes. And the detail draws a spectacular gap. Attachment, fun, and the desert island pick climb almost to the top, ahead of more than 94% of titles. But controller feel collapses, at the very bottom of the ranking. It is the paradox of this cult Fallout: people adore it for its writing, its factions, and the freedom of its choices, but its stiff combat, inherited from a notoriously shaky engine, was never pleasant in the hands. The world is brilliant, the sensations lag behind.

Next to other role playing games, many consider it the narrative peak of the series, written by the veterans of Obsidian studio.

So, who is it for? For you if you like choice rich RPGs, dense worlds, and writing. Much less if the quality of combat and shooting is your priority.
