Players are cast into this hellish, retro-futuristic landscape and must overcome hostile survivors, mutated creatures and ghouls while deciding whether to help others or only look out for themselves.īethesda Softworks ( The Elder Scrolls) took over the series from 2008's Fallout 3, a huge, open-world title that allowed players to go wherever they wished. Fallout is a series of RPG/action games that take place centuries after a nuclear attack has devastated the world. Surviving a post-apocalyptic landscape is hard enough but Fallout 4 survival mode challenges even the most skilled players and is the best way to experience the game.
