Let’s Rank The Fallout Games, Worst To Best

In the 20+ years since the Fallout franchise was introduced to the world, most of the games have been met with praise—which means that ranking them isn’t easy. It’s especially difficult to pit the games against each other when you consider that the post-nuclear franchise has undergone a couple of genre changes through the years.

Still, here we are. The SEO gods are not satisfied with our Assassin’s Creed, Pokémon, Mario Kart, and Far Cry rankings. They want more. So we’ll feed the beast another feature, this one ranking the Fallout games, from worst to best. Here’s some things you should keep in mind before we get started:

1) We’ll only be covering the main entries in the Fallout franchise; no spin-offs or DLC. Sorry, Tactics! Yes, this means including Fallout 76, if only because its existence means we’re likely never getting another major post-apocalyptic game of this kind from Bethesda anytime soon.

2) Remember, this is my personal opinion. You might disagree! You’re welcome to comment with your own rankings, if not debate my personal order—although naturally I’ll do my best to justify my choices.

Let’s do this.
