Fallout 2

On some days, this is my favorite game of all time. It expands on the Masterpiece that was Fallout 1 and brightens it up even more. One of the greatest sequels to a Game ever and by far the best Fallout ever. If you don't have the patience for turn-based combat or lack the education to read the dialogue option, then maybe this isn't the game for you. But if you can push yourself past that, you will become emersed in a satisfying experience like no other.

One of the 5 BEST written worlds ever created. A true masterpiece of all times. Any Fallout game made after this is not even close to the depth of spirit here - cheap and embarrassing imitations they are... almost empty compared to this. Just listen to the soundtrack of this.. and I mean really close your eyes in dark and silence and LISTEN to the absolutely atmospheric compositions and you§ll immediately realize this is way something else than what nowadays people consider a Fallout world.

Back in 1999 Fallout 2 was the first ever RPG game i played, and opened for me the gates of a whole new world. Now some 20 years later i have downloaded the GOG version and oh,boy - the game, even with it's flaws, is still great. Now, about the GOG release - it runs fine on Win 10, i have tried the Hi-Res launcher but didn't saw some real difference. And i got game crashes two or three times during my run ( i did an optimal character run on Twitch) but it's OK for a 20 years old game. For sure 5 out of 5 start and will play it again in few years with my kids

It's true this game is one of the milestones of cRPG evolution and back in its time it was a huge achievement in terms of openness, writing and mechanics. It is also bugged with issues that can make the game frustrating (disappearing car anyone?). It used to be a pinaccle of game development so if you played this back in the days and want to relive the experience, it's definitely worth going for it again. I'd suggest to add Fallout Restoration Project to have modern resolutions and some other tweaks. If you're new to the series (or, even worse, you know only F3 and later ones), be cautious as this may not live up to your expectations. Having said that - even then it's worth to buy it on sale if only to check out for yourself whether the hype is justified or not.

No words are needed. Just buy it and play. You won't regret a penny.
