Fallout 2

Old and ugly but none the less enjoyable. Both Fallout and Fallout 2 still succeed at being complex, funny, engaging games framed around a rich world containing well written characters. It's aged look and older design can be a barrier to entry the patience and time investment pays off. The world of Fallout and Fallout 2 is impressively realized, horrific and funny and offers a considerable challenge. I've written a more detailed spoiler free review here: http://theboilingpot.net/fallout-and-fallout-2/

This is the best Fallout game. While the first one was great and New Vegas was amazing in its storytelling, no other game ever achieved this level of good gameplay, good story, good character-building and freedom of choice, depth and immersion. Forget Bethesda. If you like post-apocalyptic games, if you like RPGs and great story, this is the game for you.

This is just the best Fallout game. The humor, the story, the scenario. Everything is perfect. And if not, than just add a mod or two.

One of those real classic gems which doesn't get old. I was 9-10 when my brother was playing this and I was watching amazed behind him. I loved the atmosphere and music (I had no idea what was going on because English isn't my first language) and this isometric view of locations. Now I'm 35 and still play it. I recommend installing also Killap's Restoration Project - it doesn't change the game but just adds kids, locations, quests and some things which were cut from the game. Anyway one of my favourite cRPG of all time.

Finally got around to playing Fallout 2, having had it in my library for ages. Immediately started a second playthrough after finishing the first. It's funny, violent, clever, challenging, bleak yet hopeful, just a fantastic game. Wish I had have played it years ago!
