An epic, brilliantly written RPG with deep choices, memorable characters, and endless post-apocalyptic adventures. A true classic!

While Fallout 2 may have lower low's then Fallout 1, it also has higher highs.

Fallout 2 es un juego fascinante precisamente porque se siente desbordado por su propio concepto. Es una obra que quiere ser muchas cosas a la vez: sátira política, comentario cultural, RPG sistémico profundo y continuación directa de un mundo postapocalíptico ya establecido. El problema es que rara vez consigue articular todas esas capas en una experiencia cohesionada. Es un laboratorio de ideas que influirá en generaciones posteriores de RPG occidentales. Pero como experiencia jugable es irregular, excesiva y, en ocasiones, frustrante sin una recompensa clara. No fracasa por falta de ambición, sino por no saber poner límites a esa ambición.

This is trash. There’s no way to rotate the camera, so you can easily miss things. The prologue/beginning make no sense, and I wouldn’t recommend anyone play it nowadays. For me, the best Fallout is the third one. A good 2D game is actually harder to pull off than a 3D one if you angle camera

Just like N°1 but with even mooore content and stuff to do.
Logically, I spent 71 hours on this one. I took the Chosen One's story to its limits (and beyond!) and really tried to explore every aspect of the game, and enjoyed most of it.

One of my all time favourites!
The game continues with an even more intricate story. It keeps the good leveling system, enjoyable combat and all in all amazing post-apocalyptic atmosphere from the previous game.
But it also has the same old graphics that didn't age well.

Accidentally left a review while scrolling through the page! Metacritic doesn't allow you to delete your 'review. ('ve now just copy-pasted an average score.)

KRÓL CRPG JEST TYLKO JEDEN. Najlepszy post apokaliptyczny świat jaki kiedykolwiek powstał w grach komputerowych. The Last of us przy świecie z Fallouta to Ponnyland dla dziewczynek.

Slightly less serious than the first one, but still great and genre-defining in many ways.

Would be a 10 if it had the atmosphere of the original and less references.

Unfortunately, it's a game that's too dated to be played anymore. It needs a remake or a remastered version.

A followup game to the original Fallout game. Got it free on Epic and if not for that I would 100% never play this game, thanks Epic. When it comes to GRAPHICS this game has the same issues as the pervious one. To put it simply, it's pretty hard to tell what's going on. This is what I consider barely playable graphics when it comes to fidelity, artistically it's beautiful obviously. When it comes to combat it is also exactly the same as the first game, basically this game is more like a DLC than a standalone game. The combat of this game is pretty barebone and I was sick of it even before finishing Fallout 1. The game is difficult but not fun difficult so right from the start I played it on the easiest difficulty. The gameworld is a giant sandbox to play in with different points loosly tied together by "main story". The main quest serves more like an excuse to throw our hero into the sandbox world rather than something interesting. When it comes to sidequests 90% of them are straight up fetch quests. You either find an item or another npc. Ocasionally you need to find an npc that directs you to the item. All these quests do is make you talk to all the npcs in town to establish who has the item and / or who is the npc you are looking for. While there are some cool features such as a car the lack of other enjoyable activities makes it pretty boring game (the car disponed when I was in Redding... RIP). The combat itself **** pretty hard as well. You constantly miss your attacks, there are no tank mechanics or any way to shield yourself and almost all weapons do zero damage. The only saving thing about it is its detailed world. EDIT: After spending around 40 hours in the game I managed to complete the first part of the main quest and most of the side quests, judging by a youtube playthrough I have about 10 hours left. The thing is I just don't want to play it. The locations are interesting and I would like to explore the Fallout world, but the gameplay is just so **** boring.

One of the greatest, if not the greatest, games I've ever played! A true masterpiece! From my distant childhood to ten years later and almost 20 years later, this game still fully immerses you in its post-apocalyptic atmosphere, with the most engaging gameplay! I would love to see a remake of Fallout 2 with updated graphics - it would be the most epic remaster in the world for me! War... war never changes...

абсолютно все, кто считает, что фалаут 2 кал, маленькие дети, не познавшие классику. одна из самых лучших рпг игр в принципе. да, игра стала менее серьезной, чем фалаут 1, но играть в нее из-за этого меньше интересней не становится(эти квесты до сих пор лучше фалаут 3,4). квесты великолепные, атмосфера тоже. заслуженно 10/10

Fallout 2 is the same as the first for me, it brings back my childhood in the best way ever.

Cruelly ironic, superbly written and brilliantly scored : Fallout 2 offers a new turn on the series and a great sequel to Fallout 1. Through ingenious quests, intricate faction relations and a detailed environment, the game supplements the franchise in a great manner.

To be honest, it fells short comparing to Fallout 1. F2 got much bigger PR blah blah blah, but tried to play it right after completing Fallout 1 - and had to give up, it was disappointing - main quest and the very its idea - worse than original, tone and atmosphere - worse, too much content feels strained and out of place. Even Intro here goes weird and wrong - by the end of fallout 1 i could actually understand Overseer and his final decision - and not just for the vault as a community - i don`t see how main character after all he experienced going back to live in vault again , so letting him/her go were neither bad nor evil call; and here -"exiled, poor thing" - already wrong. Is it a bad game - may be not, but it simply not nearly as good as original.

This game is a very good sequel to Fallout 1 and everything Fallout 1 does well, Fallout 2 does just as well. Once again, the main focus is player agency, a strong story and an incredible atmosphere. Here, it's less depressing than in Fallout 1, but the theme of an unexplained, unknown power threatening the post-apocalyptic remnants of humanity returns.

One of my favorite RPGs, it has a great immersive open world, lots of fun quests, and ways to play the game. It is my second favorite game out of the Fallout series

A quirky and endearing birds eye view, role playing game that has some interesting talking heads and writing. The game is generally meant for people into a pretty hardcore role-playing experience.

CRPG perfection. I really think hope Baldur's Gate 3 success shines some light in those old classics, 'cause Fallout 2 was definetly one of the best games I've ever played. The game do not hold your hand at all and you'll nned to be forged in fire - after that, you're in for one memorable experience.

The Year 1998 and i was like 9 year old kid playing some video games with shared computer with my big brother , we switching sides and playing on turn based system . Then one day in our cousins computer we saw a video game that changed my entire life literally , it was a game with isometric camera style , extraordinary environment and the first time i seeing this kind of turn based role playing game . I've got excited and desperately would like to play on my own as my big brother would like to play this game also , soo I borrowed the cd of this game from my cousin and immediately rush into our computer to play it , when i first play the game with soo many rich dialogs , soo many different options to play with and it's unique play style i just shocked and become addicted on it , struggled soo much back then because my english is not good enough to progress into this game but with my too much older cousin help and also have dictonaries on our house that we searching the words to understand what the game is trying to tell us . back then me and my brother achived to finish this game and gave me the satisfaction that still i ain't get that satisfaction and joy from any other games soo far . Soo after years past i've become more understand the english language and like i was at 16 years or something like that i played THE Game one more time and fully understand that what the game is about . This game improved my english soo much that's one of the impact it gave me and also first time in my life i experienced the pure role playing experience which i liked a lot . I would like to thank all of the members of this development team that make this game come through . Personally thank Brian Fargo , Tim Cain , Leonard Boyarsky and soo many other developers and management team members . I hope that one day those guys come together and make this kind of game one more time , then in 2023 while people talking about Baldur's gate 3 ( i liked it a lot no misjudgement of that ) can experience pure role playing experience . This game is the BEST GAME ALL TIME . In football terms thinking this game as , you have abilities of the prime times of Messi and have physiques from prime Cristiano Ronaldo combined :)

Fallout 2's greater focus on the interweaving politics of the world adds narrative depth, but also compromises the role-playing mechanics.

Twice the game made in half the time as compared to its predecessor and it really, really shows. The writing and overall design in world, quests, and moment to moment gameplay has suffered drastically. Instead of a tightly focused RPG that takes you on a journey through a thoughtfully constructed world by showing and telling only what it needs to, it's a mass of uncomplementing sideshow attractions that utterly lack the previous game's thick atmosphere and sharp wit.

Fantastic sequel to the first game. HUGE huge game, filled with role-playing elements and choices. Immense replayability. My only complaint is the implementation of stuff that does not make any sense and kill the immersion, like telepathy messages, talking plants, Monty Python bridge encounter, etc.

Review só pra lembrar a nota que dei pro jogo: Conseguiu a proeza de ser melhor que fallout 1 que já era um 9/10, se fossemos realmente pensar na série Fallout apenas por seus elementos RPG então Fallout 2 ganha a medalha de ouro.

Найкраща гра. Просто краще що я бачив. Атмосфера, музика, сюжет, квести, вони всі передають то, що ще ні одна гра в світі не змогла. Це 10/10

My review is based on my experience in 2022 when I played this game. There were some improvements compared to 1, the game is a little more fluid with less fps drops, some new weapons and armor and that's it. The rest is the same engine, same character assembly system and possibilities as 1. Although impressive for the freedom considering the current game mechanics, it is tiring to play. The story I found even shallower than the first, but with more game time. Taking all this into account, I recommend it only to those who want to know the saga as a whole. Remembering that it is an extremely cheap game. 55 out of 100

A worthy sequel with a cool post-apocalypse atmosphere and a very interesting world to explore, which has now become even more diverse and developed. Many new characters and interesting locations have been added. The vehicle adds more dynamics to the gameplay. The number of secondary stories and side quests has now increased, as well as the variety of ways to complete them. Character customization has remained at the same high level, where every point in the statistics can change the gameplay. But in terms of plot, the game, in my opinion, turned out to be weaker than its predecessor. The positive attitude towards super mutants was especially disappointing. I remember how in the previous part they completely destroyed the settlement in which I had so many plans. They caused so much grief then, and it seemed that everyone suddenly began to be satisfied with it. And even after that, they said that they would be happy to immerse the main character in a reservoir with a virus. It's good that the game still gives an opportunity to deal with them. The main story itself seemed interesting, but the main boss and motivation still looked weaker than in the first part.

Played AGAIN with the Restoration Project. The game is still top with the same bugs like missing shots on 95%. But still playable, cool, nice dialogues. It's more logical with the improvements and additional quests. No more cheese of going straight to Navarro. Will always remember the day when my cousin brought me this game as a present on the CD. Though, I didn't play Fallout 1 before that.
