Fallout 3
Fallout 3 is the quintessential post-apocalyptic game, the literal definition of the term. Dropping you right into the desolate wasteland of Washington D.C. after a nuclear winter, Fallout 3 has you scavenging and scrounging for survival.
The Fallout series has always done a fantastic job of weaving post-apocalyptic stories, but Fallout 3 is easily the best of the bunch. The Capital Wasteland is filled with interesting characters and stories to tell, whether you’re deciding to blow up a nuke at the settlement of Megaton or investigating the mysterious Brotherhood of Steel.
Fallout 3 really makes you feel like a survivor in this hostile wasteland, and you need to comb each and every building for ammo, stimpacks, and all the other supplies you can. Undoubtedly, this remains one of the greatest post-apocalyptic games of all time.
