I have a confession. I’ve never made it past the first few moments of the Fallout 4 prologue. Now, that’s nothing to do with the game’s quality, and more down to an annoying bug keeping me stuck staring in the mirror during the opening sequence. And, look, I didn’t have the patience to work out at the time but, in my defense, it seems like I’m not alone.
However, after devouring eight episodes of Prime Video’s Fallout TV show, it feels like I’ve maybe missed a trick. I adored the show, falling deeply in love with its retro-futuristic vibe, which felt so immersive as a viewer, and its trio of leads as they explored the wasteland. Not only that, but I really resonated with the themes that the series tackled, and its perspective on what a world pushed to the brink of nuclear war might do. So, given that I’ve found myself being so attached to this world, is it time to revisit the games?
