Or maybe you're a fan and just like lists of things.Įither way, here's a list ranking all the Fallout games from the worst to the best. With so much to choose between, and each of the options requiring a not insignificant time commitment, it can be hard to decide which games and DLCs are worth the investment. We've been abducted by aliens, thrown in the Pitt, faced off with a psychic, faced off with the Reds (in virtual reality), and even delivered some mail. The first game came out 20 years ago, and in that time there have been four main series games as well as several spinoffs and a chunk of DLC, produced by a total of five developers with different opinions on what makes a Fallout game. It has had a long journey from fairly niche computer RPG to the global powerhouse it is today.
Its unique setting is now iconic among fans of open world RPGs and has sold millions of copies worldwide. Based on the fears of the Cold War era for the future, Fallout is an absurd mix of futuristic technology, old-timey sensibilities, and dark humor. These are the ingredients of the popular and long running Fallout franchise.
