If you ever dreamed of a Lego Fallout game, well, you weren’t alone. YouTuber and game developer ThrillDaWill polled their followers earlier in 2022 and asked what kind of Lego game they wanted to see him create, and the overwhelming consensus was Lego Fallout 4. So ThrillDaWill made it, and you can play it on PC now, for free (thanks PCGamer).
ThrillDaWill posted a brief video on YouTube outlining some of the high and low points they faced along the way. Their Lego Fallout game started as a straightforward Lego shooter, before they added more features and made something closer to a proper Fallout game.
The playable version even includes VATS, the name of Fallout’s advanced targeting system, inventory management, and some impressive blocky visuals ThrillDaWill created with a multitude of block types and textures.
Loading times were one of the biggest issues they encountered, not helped by the game having to render so many blocks at any given moment.
You can find ThrillDaWill’s Lego Fallout game on Itch.io.
The project released at a fitting time, with Bethesda in the middle of celebrating Fallout’s 25th anniversary. Other official announcements include a Fallout 4 current-gen update on the way and a brief tease of the Fallout TV show from Amazon.
