Although Wasteland was the first successful post-apocalyptic RPG, it was Black Isle's Fallout that made a real breakthrough. The revolutionary SPECIAL character development system allowed for a balanced and interesting progression of the hero, and the perks gained with each level made him not only stronger, but also personally different during the game. The Fallout world, although not fully open, was really an animated place, reacting to the player's actions.
A journey through the wasteland could end with the death of the protagonist at any moment, and the encountered NPCs usually were't very shy about preventing us from achieving our goals. Dialogue options had to be chosen very carefully. However, being inquisitive often paid off – talking to the boss from the first Fallout can bring some completely unexpected results. And there was no shortage of surprising options for interaction in the sequel.
The first two Fallouts are still very much playable. Of course, fighting as a team of a few characters may seem archaic, and the extremely low resolution is painful, but these games have probably aged the best from the entire list. So, why do they need a remake? Mainly because the storytelling is a real masterpiece that cannot be matched by modern post-apocalyptic games. And if the Fallout series is still breathless, why not go back to the roots?
Do you still remember the game Gorky 17? The "Polish Fallout" successfully combined RPG and horror elements, while allowing you to play quite satisfying battles in a turn-based system. And the plot was not inferior in quality to the best Western productions.
