THIS GAME REQUIRES THE FOLLOWING: [Functioning Brain] Fallout 1 is NOT your average hand-holding rpg. You have to take notes, remember conversations and sometimes think outside the box in order to complete quests and get the outcome you desire. While the game is VERY OLD, it still holds up with its story, characters, overarching themes and brutality (literal and metaphorical). BEFORE YOU PLAY here are a few tips you should know: 1. Use numbers on the keyboard when bartering, saves you a lot of time counting caps. It even goes past 999! 2. Do NOT trade with companions, use STEAL so you can move items without bartering for them. And DON'T give them burst weapons, unless you want to cosplay Swiss cheese. 3. SAVE OFTEN! I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, your ass will die or make bad decisions you'll regret. Like dying. 4. Have fun! Don't sweat it if something is a little too challenging, go somewhere else until you get more power. The Review: Fallout 1 is where everything started. One vault dweller was chosen to fix a broken water dispenser and ends up saving humanity from certain doom. Starting off as a total nobody who was picked in a lottery as "The only hope we have" - Overseer, you must find the Thingamajig Doohickey Macguffin 3000 in order to not have everyone drink their own piss. You'll venture out, if you don't get nibbled to death by a couple rats, and find different settlements with wildly different views and opinions on how life should be. The journey is long, tedious, outright frustrating and VERY dangerous. But most importantly, you will not return the same person, as when you left. The combat is one of the cornerstones of this game. If you didn't spec into Perception and Agility with guns, I shall pray for you. A proper setup will save you unnecessary pain down the line, but don't be afraid to experiment with other loadouts and SPECIAL points during subsequent playthroughs. Just remember to save before you lose 2 hours of gameplay. Dialogue can be like its own puzzle. Not in a "I'm so fúcking confused" way, but more so "Choosing the right or wrong lines will open or close certain doors". The game is not afraid to give you funny or badass lines that initiate combat, as it adds more humor and roleplaying opportunities to your playthrough. But for the love of god, PAY ATTENTION! Someone might be obviously lying to you and send you into a deathtrap, unless you think for a moment. Your choices matter! A lot of the places and people in Fallout 1 have unique endings depending on how you interacted with them. You could help kickstarting a new superpower by just rescuing 1 person. Or send a town down the road of unrestrained capitalism by favoring a certain side during a dispute. Some content is a bit monotone, but that's mostly sidequests that don't do much anyway. To conclude: Fallout 1 has A LOT to offer if you sit down and play by its rules. You could read the wiki and get everything you want your first time, but I recommend just giving it a shot blind. After that, it's all up to you how future playthroughs go. Overall, this is a perfect RolePlaying Game that gets a 10/10 (If the other reviews didn't make that clear already)

Found 8000 caps in a random encounter on the way to Junktown, Went to barter with Killian Darkwater, Tried to help out with assassin, end up missing and shooting a guard standing right next to the assassin in the process aggroing the town on to me, Die, forgot to save Good game 10/10

Jan. 2026

Playing in 2025... The gameplay was a bit weird and it's a bit tedious, but it's addictive and I feel a bit like in a Baldur's Gate 1 in the future. I enjoy so far!

Dec. 2025

Its actually disgusting how people brush this game off as too old. Its aged incredibly well for something that came out in 1997 and is a must play if you like the other fallout games. Even if you're not sure you'll enjoy it its always worth a shot since its like ten euro/dollars and you could get it for two during a sale.

good game but very scary maybe even too scary and also very violent gameplay reminds me of my singing monsters and bookworm deluxe
