Fallout 2

You can kill kids with machine gun! You can kill kids with grenades! You can roast them with flamer! Melt them with plasma! Turn them into ashes with laser! ... even give the gun to bunch of kids playing army and they will shoot each other! Fallout 2 is perfect...

This is THE Fallout experience. Wanna go storymode or directly full enclave-armor right from first town? Both possible. Choices, Humor(Partially black)good fights and perks & skills, this one is the best feeling of them. After 22 years you just have to ignore the graphic downside...

GOG gets on my nerves more and more. Fallout is another game (previously it was Jagged Alliance) that doesn't work as it should: bugs, game crashes etc. Not cool. Since I'm paying for a game that is supposed to run on Win 10 without a problem, that's what I expect. I have the version that was intended for windows xp in a box I bought a long time ago, so if I would like to run a game that will not be compatible with windows 10, I would install that :/

The game engine feels refined over the first Fallout rather than an evolution. This isn't such a bad thing, but like that game it can still feel clunky at times. Inventory management continues to be a bit of a bear especially in the later stages of the game. Having said that, dealing with merchants is greatly improved over the first game. The skill system is still mostly the same, but this time around it seems that some skills from before that were worthless could have a use this time around. The perk system is likewise expanded a bit as well. Charisma is actually a useful stat this time around as well as it determines how many companions you can recruit. Speaking of the companions, there are quite a bit more this time around and interacting with their inventory is vastly better than in the first game. You can also modify their behavior, though sometimes that can be a bit wonky in practice. Unlike the first game, there isn't a rush to finish the main quest. In fact, you could take quite a few years to get around to completing it if you wish. There's still a limit technically, but chances of you hitting that 15 year mark are somewhere between slim and none. The world seems quite a bit larger with a ton of sidequests available. The highwayman makes traversing this larger world much easier. Due to the greater number of sidequests with conflicting factions, the replayability of this game is quite high. This game has quite a few mods that further expand this replayability. All in all, this is a great improvement over the first Fallout and well worth your time.

Or at least, the best cRPG. There is no review that will make justice, just buy it and play it. Only stay away if you are really dislike RPGs...
