10 Best Video Games Ever Made (Until You Played Them Again)

10. Fallout

The original Fallout is... rough. Certainly a masterful groundwork for a franchise, but looking back on it, it doesn't hold up well, even just compared to its first sequel, which ironed out pretty much everything Fallout 1 set up.

Now, it's not a bad game at all, which is why it's all the way down here on the bottom, but the first Fallout has quite a few issues that keep it from being appreciated today as it was back then.

For one, the UI is REALLY rough in spots. Every Fallout player has made the mistake of accidentally giving their character the name of "None" because the way the UI is set up gives the player no reason to believe the nameplate can be written over. On top of that, the dice roll combat can take some getting used to compared to modern Fallout games, especially since it isn't as refined here as it will be in Fallout 2.

Fallout is still a stone-cold classic, and one of the most influential and important PC games ever made, but going back to it 30 years later leaves a lot to be desired.
