Release Date: Sept 30, 1997
I chose to replay the original Fallout as it’s actually the one I’ve played the least out of the core series. Gameplay is very similar to the sequel with a few noticeable absences in better companion controls, a few UI tweaks, and a smaller scope. But Fallout is also one of the most revered games amongst PC gamers and for good reason; it offers a compelling, mature storyline, a unique and interesting post-apocalyptic world (when such a thing was so unheard of they put similar wording in the seldom used subtitle), a brilliant tactical combat system, and a wealth of roleplaying and decision making opportunities.
