    Even in 2016 it continues to surprise the possibilities of this ancient game. For me definitely the best Fallout of history. And the end, even ruthless, well justified.

    Despite its age, Fallout 1 is still a very enjoyable experience, slightly spoiled by a few bad design choices. The worst being the time limit to complete the main mission that discourages exploration, and a lack of a good quest system.
    Despite its excellent writing, I also found the story to be a bit cheesy, but still a lot better than Fallout 3's story.

This time through I finally made it to the end, or at least until the game just broke down and I couldn't progress. I gave it a 6 not just because of the bugs, but because the game was lacking in a lot of ways. Since I played it many times I've been everywhere and now, done everything except for the cathedral, and I've got to say it's not even close to how great I thought it would be. I thought it would have powerful storylines actually shaped by the players events since at the beginning it gives that illusion. Sadly, as the game went on and neared the end things just went down hill. (SPOILERS) I did the whole side story of helping the Blades in the Boneyard defeat the Regulators after I was lucky enough to find the alien gun somewhere. When I finished, nothing changed. Some npcs died but no one reacted any different. In fact the only thing that really changed was the Gun Runners, after killing off the deathclaws they gave me better deals at there store. (/Spoilers) So the most interesting change the player could ever do in this game (besides progress to the "end" of the game, was to get better deals from some merchant? I expected much better from the supposed "Best RPG of all time". Now for all I know it was just bugs, since closely after that bugs just broke the game. I finished the quest with the brotherhood and gained access and then talked to the elders. (Spoilers) I scouted the military base out, then came back. And this is where the game hit rock bottom... They told me to go to the base and get inside. So I did, and to my surprise the soliders they sent with me didn't come in with me, so I had to fight an entire base of mutants by myself. So I did, and when I got to the end I killed the boss and left. But no one back at the brother hood says anything new to me, they don't say "Good job, here's your power armor" nothing. (/spoilers) So I'm left with nothing, no where to go, nothing to do. Besides some major bugs the game is still pretty mediocre. I had thought the story and player interaction in shaping the world was the best feature of the game, so I never minded the subpar combat, the linear dialogue or the failed attempt at what Deus Ex did so well, CHOICE. In Deus Ex you never have to fight, you can hack, lockpick and sneak your way to the end of levels, but Fallout forces you into every role. And if you can't fight then your screwed. If I never found the secret alien gun then I probably would not have gotten very far, since deathclaws were near impossible without it.… Expand

    I honestly can not see what people like in this game. Its turn-based combat is absolutely wretched and the RP choices in this game are pitiful to say the least. Go play Betrayal at Kondor if you want a good RPG. I could maybe see this being fun when I was 10 for the goofy violence, but any adult that plays this game will surely see how terrible this game really is.

    The is a game that gets old very fast. The environment is incredible, until you realize it is comprised of about 10 different models, and it suddenly becomes dull and repetitive. A similar thing happens with combat. It is indeed Oblivion with guns, and no, that is in no way a good thing.

Prior to attacking the military installation with the aid of the brotherhood of steel, my game started crashing frequently and at random. It seemed like all of my five saves had a similar issue, so I was unable to complete the game legitimately. I started cheating because I spent so much time on the game and I just wanted to see it through. I would rate the game as good but not great because it’s hardly a masterpiece with all the bugs (I even had the unofficial patches installed).

    It’s most definitely a good game, and I think it still holds up even to this day. I don’t have nostalgia to go on, and I wouldn’t hesitate to say that it could be an 8 or a 9 if my game would stop crashing.    … Expand

    At first, you'll discover a good, simple character creation process with promises of variety. Equally good is the fact that random encounters are not necessarily hostile. You will, however, spend hours and hours killing rats.

    Then the horror: the game runs on a timer. Indeed, Fallout is the Anti-Grail of the exploring gamer. No, just no.

    Graphics are lacking. Not ugly or anything, but the isometric view is opaque; walls block you view, hiding creatures and objects. And the cursor itself is unpleasant to play with.

    Finally, to keep it short, here is a little example showing how variety was expected but not delivered: In 2 days of playing, I managed to make use of 3 skills, 2 of which being combat skills. There was nothing to lockpick, nothing to learn with the Sciences skill, nothing to repair... You get the idea.

    I have the second highest rated video card in my computer and every time I turn around in this game, it crashes. That is ridiculous. I wish I had never bought this game. Granted, the scenery is beautiful and the plot is fantastic. But, I can't continue the game if I'm not allowed to go where the quest leads me. Fix this.

    Avantage : c'est en tour par tour... inconvénient : c'est un tour par tour au rythme très lent qui serait inacceptable aujourd'hui. Malgré une interface remarquable, on ne peut réprimer quelque baillement devant un jeu d'échec aussi pesant, fût-il post-apocalyptique. Et pourtant l'ambiance de cette SF dyschronique est inimitable. Dommage par ailleurs cette limite de temps imposée dans la quête principale qui jure sévèrement avec la liberté consacrée et exigée d'un jeu de rôle, un défaut non rédhibitoire cependant, loin de là.

    Quant à l'aspect graphique, c'était déjà limite de son temps, alors qu'en dire de nos jours ? que c'est repoussant ? oui certainement. Certains disent que ça fait partie du "charme" certes... c'est le cas lorsqu'on est en pleine crise rétrodègue mais à jeun, non.    … Expand

    The game was once too unfriendly. I was given the situation and gave no hint of what I would do. I gave up because I had to travel all over the map without seeing the map and forum.
    I liked the atmosphere of talking about the unique dark future, but the way of story telling was not very good. This game has just provided such an experience as a whole.

    Simple review details - metacritic does not like long reviews so check out my tumblr/patreon (gemsimov) for a complete review.

    Gameplay
    Fallout is a top down, isometric roleplaying game from a few years ago. It is played, almost entirely, through the use of the mouse, although there are some hotkeys that can be utilized for max efficiency… Even if efficiency is achieved by other means.
    The game makes use of chance as a defining factor for how situations are resolved, but that does not truly get in the way of enjoyment derived from it. In fact, although chance seemingly affects all interactions the player has with the world of Fallout, it is not so. Chance affects the outcomes of situations, but is not the end-all be-all of the solution. A situation that was going to go badly for the player has an incredibly small chance of going well for them, and the other variables are based on how badly the situation will go - it could be nasty, or it could be horrible.
    Chance in Fallout is an additive, rather than a multiplicative. Of course, some mechanics are affected by chance at a greater rate than others, but the fact of the matter is that chance does not appear to be as prevalent as one might think it were, initially. That makes the allocation of Skill Points and Stat Points actually mean something.
    Yes, ladies and gentlemen, a roleplaying game has both Skill Points and Stat Points. One would have thought that these did not actually exist, for many a game claiming to be roleplaying games in current times are lacking some of these.
    At the start of the game the player has a number of points to allocate to their Stats, making their character unique, in the sense that these Stats are not going to be increased by more than 2, even if the player did everything in their power to do so. That means there is a very defining, important decision to be made, right at the start of the game, because these Stats define how easy it is for one’s character to do everything.
    The character will be better at doing some things than doing others. That makes the character appear somewhat grounded in reality. As in, ladies and gentlemen, the character might even have a flaw! Imagine that, a character who is not the most amazing thing to have ever existed! And having flaws makes characters interesting, even if they have no history of their own, for their failings become a juxtaposition for their successes, and the game becomes more entertaining.
    A game that is close to 25 years old, but has so much good in it that it still dwarfs the biggest games of modern gaming, is bound to be good, and to have something stellar to itself. Alas, its age is also prone to making it find itself stumbling through territories that were not nearly as well charted as they are now. More on tumblr/patreon 2/3

    Presentation
    Fallout is a game about a world that is so vastly different from what humanity is used to that it is, essentially, a brand new world. How, then, does Fallout bring that world to life?
    Fallout, in all its glory, has voice acting for EVERY important character… And the voice acting is spectacular. The actors have all done an amazing job bringing these people to life, and even if some sound strange or uncanny, they still fit in this bizarre world that has come about after a nuclear apocalypse.
    But it is not only Talking Heads that look good. The world itself, having been granted a detailed and rich coat of muted colors, still retains an appearance that makes one think of how well crafted it is, even after all those years. The work put into the creation of the unique visuals, which fit so well with the setting, has, no doubt, been a great effort, and it shows.
    What, then, can one say about the SOUND of Fallout? Well, one only needs to listen to a single piece of the soundtrack, and they will find themselves IN this dying, almost wholly dead, world. The music by Mark Morgan is stupefying, and borders on genius in its quality.
    The sound effects are a little unbalanced in their fidelity, some are too loud, others are a bit quiet, some sound strange, others sound just right. More on tumblr/patreon 3/3

    Story
    Best story in a post-apocalyptic game ever. More on tumblr/patreon 3/3

    Legendary Point
    Yes, of course. More on tumblr/patreon

    Conclusion
    9/10. Fallout is a game that should be played by every single person who plays video games, and is an experience that should be experienced by every single person that enjoys gaming. In fact, it is so great, I’d say it would not be bad at all to have it be experienced by all of humanity. Might make them reconsider their course of action. An exquisite piece of art, this is one of the best games out there. More on tumblr/patreon, 5k words bby mode lel    … Expand

    I understand that when this game was released it must have been a watershed but I will do my analysis based on my experience in 2022 thinking about who like me wants to start in the saga.

    The graphics are an obstacle, because in addition to the character model being dated, the scenarios make it difficult to experience, because many things are hidden, not because they are a secret, but    I understand that when this game was released it must have been a watershed but I will do my analysis based on my experience in 2022 thinking about who like me wants to start in the saga.

    The graphics are an obstacle, because in addition to the character model being dated, the scenarios make it difficult to experience, because many things are hidden, not because they are a secret, but because the low quality prevents you from finding the item, characters, and objectives. Many times I looked on the internet where a character was, and in fact he was "hidden" on the inside of the wall that didn't show.

    The gameplay is interesting with an action point counter in battles and MANY different ways to assemble the character, avoiding the obvious melee and range, but being able to make stupid characters which completely changes the interactions.
    In addition, your choices directly interfere with almost everything in the game, from killing everything and everyone to not killing anyone. This freedom is very impressive.
    The backstory is interesting, but the protagonist's is very superficial. But the way it happens without directing it in an obvious way is pretty fun.
    I had a few visual bugs here and there, but nothing major.
    I recommend it for those who have an open mind for dated systems and old graphics, to be able to know the saga as a whole, even more so because it is possible to buy it almost for free.

World War III lies decades in the past. The world was blasted to ruins by nuclear warheads and the survivors' descendants have begun to slowly rebuild, but your isolation in the vault makes you a stranger in a strange land.

    In Fallout, your choices have consequences and your character is what you make of him or her, not just a race/class combination. Couple that with a believable antagonist (in the context of the game), B-movie shlock monsters like super mutants, radscorpions and deathclaws, over the top death animations, the dark humorous contrast between the blind pre-war optimism and the current post-war state of affairs, a 50's retro-futuristic aesthetic as well as a moody soundtrack by Mark Morgan, and you get one hell of a game. Combat is devoid of challenge but entertaining, in no small part thanks to the death animations.

    Compared to its direct sequel, Fallout is shorter but has a more tightly focused plot and atmosphere. It also features fewer pop-culture references and easter eggs. Finally, I love the ending slides narrating the impact of your journey on the people you've met and places you've visited. Fallout is good stuff.    … Expand

    I first saw this game in WalMart. I thought it looked like trash and skipped it. Then word of mouth told me how great it is. Little did I know it would become a pillar for the way cRPGs would develop in the future. I can't stop playing it every few years for that reason. Best with the "Fallout Fixt" series of patches available from No Mutants Allowed / Vault-Tec Labs. Check them out!

But I liked the endings (multiple decisions - storm, hack or convince). Back then I didn't care and tried to kill everything that moves or attacks me. Unfortunately, the game had a bug with the computer in the Mariposa base. So, I finished the game several times later.

    From the 1997-98 perspective, the game is just awesome and super interesting. It is simplified compared to Baldur's Gate but more convenient and flexible. The only problem was missing the shots (DND legacy). So, you really need to think about how to build a char.

    Pros.:
    - Awesome setting.
    - Variety of choices (even though, they are simple).
    - SPECIAL system.
    - Endings. Affect of your actions.
    - Weaponary. Always liked the animation of extermination.
    - A lot of popular culture references (X-Files, Doctor Who, etc., even reference to Richard 'Levelord' Gray).

    Cons.:
    - Missing shots while 95%.
    - The game is SUPER short. A lot of cut content. And you can feel it.
    - SEVERE underdevelopment of quests. Even with the Fix patch you still feel that something is missing. It's obvious a lot of content went to Fallout 2.

    I'll start by saying the story and the world of Fallout 1 were incredibly captivating. It was really thought provoking, and it depicts a post nuclear world so authentic to the point it leaves uncomfortable feelings. Do you like games where you can immerse yourself in the story, and your decisions have an impact? Look no further.

It was really thought provoking, and it depicts a post nuclear world so authentic to the point it leaves uncomfortable feelings. Do you like games where you can immerse yourself in the story, and your decisions have an impact? Look no further.

    If you're interested in the Fallout Franchise this is the perfect place to start, if you have some tolerance for older games.

    [STORY]: As mentioned above, this game has one of the best stories I've experienced, you'll be finding yourself searching the wiki and diving deeper into the lore. Different playthroughs can differ from each other, whether you are skilled in Speech or have high Intelligence decides a lot this game. The storytelling is awesome as you start with one important main quest, and during the course of solving this problem, you get more and more information about a far greater threat. Almost every dialogue has a lot of options to choose from and makes it easy to really play your role, it just feels so alive even If this is such an old game.

    [GAMEPLAY]:
    Very simple, point and click to navigate everything, but it takes some time getting used to it. Combat is turn based, and half of the fights can be really tough, where you really have to stop and plan every Action Point you spend this round. It's tough because you are not stronger than another beings with comparable gear. Every fight can be really close until you get better gear. So in the early game it was really hard to survive, but once you acquire some of the best weapons you really begin dominating and this change is really rewarding and satisfying.
    Investing Skillpoints in: Lockpick, Repair, Science, Speech and Sneak has a great impact on your game and will change your solution to every quest. This feels so huge. Be really careful talking to NPC's because everything you say could change a lot in your playthrough.
    Have you threatened someone in the Hub's Downtown? You may need help from this person later on, and you may regret it.
    There are a lot of outcomes to every problem and situation and it's fascinating and entertaining to think about.

    There are some cons of course:
    - you have to save a lot, there are gamebreaking bugs and you're likely to encounter them.
    - you could play it without a guide, and it may be the most interesting riddle to solve ever, but I believe this will take too much time, I recommend a guide when stuck!
    - the story is so good and big, but the ending came kinda abruptly for me
    - it takes time to get into the groove of this game since inventory management, bartering and movement is bit outdated but when it clicks, it's quite good!

    TLDR;
    If you're a fan of cRPGs, this is for you. Fallout 1 has a captivating story and thought-provoking world-building. The gameplay is simple but challenging, and the choices you make have a real impact on the game world. It is a bit dated, and it is a bit of a slow burn, but it's worth sticking with. The story gets better and better as you play, If you can get past the graphics and the bugs, you'll find a rewarding experience.    … Expand

    ODGRYWANIE BOHATERA
    Ten tytuł pozwala na stworzenia bohatera jakiego chcemy poprzez zaimplementowany system S.P.E.C.I.A.L, już przy tworzeniu postaci w dużym stopniu decydujemy o tym jak potoczy się nasza przygoda. Będziemy typowym siłaczem który ma problem sklecić jedno składne zdanie, czy może będziemy wyspecjalizowani w perswazji i nawet największe szychy w tym brudnym świecie będą liczyły się z naszym zdaniem.
    WYBORY
    Mimo dość małego świata i kameralnej historii, w każdym miejscu w którym się pojawiamy natrafiamy na jakiś konflikt, i to od nas zależy po której stronie konfliktu się opowiemy, ale też od naszych statystyk zależy w jaki sposób rozwiążemy dany problem. Właśnie to sprawia, że po zakończeniu gry planujemy kolejne przejście tylko tym razem podejmując inne decyzje.

    Walka jest chyba najsłabszym elementem tej gry. Jest bo musi być, ale nie daje za dużo satysfakcji, co zachęca do przechodzenia gry w bardziej pacyfistyczny sposób. Tak naprawdę podczas walki mamy do wyboru dwie rzeczy: albo atakujemy, albo się leczymy. Wszystko jest oczywiście bardzo losowe, co niestety zmusza do częstego wczytywania i zapisywania gry.    … Expand

Unique customization of the protagonist's character allows you to play the game every time like the first time. Extraordinary sudden events always bring surprises and an element of unexpectedness. Although the graphics are in an old-school style, various unique animations have been etched in my memory for a long time. A fascinating and exciting story makes you think for a long time before making this or that choice.
