This is one of those rare games that oozes quality from every pore.
The story is so well developed in this game you'll wonder why you've been playing mindless shooting games like "Quake." When you start the game you'll be treated to with one of the most chilling, well-written introductions a game has ever been blessed with.

Love it! The whole time I’m watching, I’m playing it out as one of the games in my head! They’ve done so much to incorporate as much of the world of Fallout into the show! From the music, to the excessive gore to the Mini Nuke for sale and on display in Ma June’s shop!

This top-down RPG is without a doubt the best PC RPG we have played in years. That's not an exaggeration. Years. I can't think of another game that comes even close to Fallout's excellent character generation and skill system, great story, and classy delivery.
The game play is smooth, using action points for movement and combat and the inventory system is easily managed. Fallout has one of the best character development systems of any computerized role-playing game and the graphics and story make for an excellent gaming experience.
This sequel to an all-time classic is one of the standout RPGs for the 1990s. [Jan 1998, p.221]
It is vastly enjoyable. It consistently seduces with its vitality, its muscular flex, its postapocalyptic élan, its vivid, hyperreal environment.
A decent RPG where you can indeed actually advance your character and choose one of many paths through the story.
Gameplay: UI is not very intuitive, but with some help from google you will be able to figure the controls out. Solution to the quests is sometimes pretty random. Be prepared to google step by step guides espesially in the end. The combat has some good parts but overall kinda meh. All weapons work exactly the same so there is no point playing anything else than burst assault rifle and plasma rifle. Be prepared to save before any encounter, sometimes a random enemy deals a critical hit for double your max hp. You can't do anything about it, just load your safe and beg for better rng. If you don't care about side quests / story / lore then this is not the game for you. 3 / 5
Visuals: Very outdated to a point where the low resolution is problematic to the actual gameplay. You can't see items on the ground unless you move cursor over them (and good luck cuz they are like 5 pixels wide). From artistic point it fits very well. 1.5 / 2.5
Story: Actually the strongest point of the game. Although this game has only one ending, the choices you make slightly shift it (so it's different shades of the same ending). 2.5 / 2.5

Miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss and **** MISS! This game would be fun if my character wouldn't miss every single shot! It just makes every encounter very boring and of course enemies do critical SHOT wow! TRICK SHOT OOOOO! shots to me so just because of that I give this game 5/10. Bad game.

This has aged poorly in my view. Poor graphics aside due to the age, the story, dialog and role-play aspects are super-thin, and combat and exploration is cumbersome and boring. I only played until I reached the Hub, then I gave up. I didn't have a single memorable moment so far. The best aspect of the game is the atmospheric music, which must have been groundbreaking at the time. Apart from that, it lacks all the character and atmosphere of the later games. I didn't feel like I was in a post-apocalyptic dystopian world. More like the deserted landscape of the American West.
