If you've only played recent Bethesda-developed titles like "Fallout 4" and "Fallout 76" in the "Fallout" series, you might want to prepare to go back in time with "Fallout 2 Originally released in 1998, the nuclear wasteland setting and RPG fundamentals are the same as in the newer series, but the game is played from an isometric perspective and combat is turn-based rather than first-person firefights Don't let this change in gameplay fool you, though; Fallout 2 still has a lot to offer in 2024

Set 80 years after the original Fallout, you, as a direct descendant of the first protagonist, must embark on a journey to save your hometown of Arroyo, which has been devastated by a drought To save the village, you must locate the mysterious Vault 13 and find an item called the GECK Along the way, he will encounter strange supporting characters and be forced to make moral decisions

What makes "Fallout 2" so engrossing is that quest objections can often be tackled in a variety of ways You are never forced to complete a task in a particular way; instead, you are given the freedom to play any character you like If you want to be the glib character who argues his way out of a deadly situation, you can do so Fallout 2 is pure RPG in that sense

Naturally, the visuals of a 20+ year old game can't hold a candle to modern productions, but "Fallout 2" has a unique art style that has aged with surprising grace In addition, the quest writing is still outstanding; some of the most memorable moments and characters from the entire Fallout universe can be seen here

If you can tolerate some rough edges and a somewhat dated gameplay system, "Fallout 2" is certainly worth your time Given that it is currently available for free on Prime Gaming, there is no reason not to give it a try
