Ranking EVERY Fallout Game From Worst To Best

New Vegas was written off unfairly when trailers of it dropped, as people seemed to assume that such a short turnaround between this game and Fallout 3 wouldn't ammount to much more than a "3.5" experience at best.

Oh how wrong the doubters were.

Fallout: New Vegas is to the "new generation" of Fallout games what Fallout 2 was to the original. It expands, refines and recasts the mould of what it is to be a Fallout experience in such a way that it's a masterclass of immersion and design.

Every area of the game has been ramped up, the action feels more kinetic, the horror elements have been dialled up to skin crawling levels, and the environment of New Vegas is so well realised that even the seemingly empty stretches of desert feel deadly and teeming with secrets.

Coupled with this some of the best written characters and choices in the franchise and add in the fact that The Courier is easily the greatest protagonist in the series (finally a character who existed outside of a vault so actually would understand caps being used as currency and the like) and you have an experience that bet on black and came up trumps.

And not a jot of it was made by Bethesda. Funny how The Outer Worlds, also by Obsidian, did so well, isn't it?
