12. Fallout

For some reason, postapocalypse is one of the most popular themes in video games. Whether the world is ended by a virus, zombies, a mutant fungus or a global conflict – we love to fight for survival among the wasteland or ruins of civilization. And the Fallout series created a truly compelling and engaging post-apocalyptic universe whose trademark are retrofuturistic accents, often with rather perverse humor.

Fallout is a series that we don't necessarily remember for its plot or distinctive characters, but more for its incredible atmosphere and freedom of action. For a brilliantly created world in which we can have fantastic adventures, often with a lot of room for different decisions. The series has had all sorts of ups and downs, but at the end of the day it always takes us to this wonderful universe, where even after adjusting it to web servers, you can have fun as such.
