Admittedly, you’ve probably never heard of most of the titles on offer. But, that doesn’t matter because the only one you need to pay attention to is Fallout 2. The sequel is widely hailed as one of the best role-playing games of all time.
Set 80 years after the events of the original Fallout, in the year 2241, you’re tasked with finding a terraforming device that can save your primitive village from post-apocalyptic calamity.
It came out in 1998 and the graphics leave a lot to be desired compared with today’s blockbusters. Nevertheless, this is where the DNA of the series was formed, including its dark humour, deep character customisation and open world exploration.
It was also ahead of its time. Fallout 2 was one of the first games to feature same sex marriage and LGBT representation.
Amazon and Bethesda are pulling out all the stops before the release of the splashy Fallout live-action TV show next month. The back-to-back free Prime games follow the release of an epic, seven-game Fallout anthology, which comes packaged inside a mini-nuclear bomb.
