Since the first game hit stores back in the late 90s, the\u00a0Fallout<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>franchise has been a dominant force in both the post-apocalyptic and RPG genres. As one would expect, the games have evolved and expanded over time, though the core themes of post-apocalyptic survival<\/a> have remained throughout the decades.<\/p>\n

The future of the\u00a0Fallout<\/em>\u00a0series has been the subject of great interest\u00a0within the gaming industry recently, as Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda has gamers curious as to what direction the IP will be going in the future.\u00a0Moreover, the\u00a0Bethesda acquisition and subsequent release of numerous\u00a0Fallout\u00a0<\/em>games on Game Pass have made many people eager to try some of the series’ games for themselves. To help those looking to get into the series, or for those looking for which game to play next, we’ve ranked every\u00a0Fallout\u00a0<\/em>game according to their Main Story completion time on howlongtobeat.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel – 8\u00a0Hours<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel\u00a0<\/em>was released\u00a0in 2004 on PlayStation 2 and Xbox. It was the last game to be released by\u00a0Interplay Entertainment (formerly Interplay Productions) before the rights were passed to Bethesda.<\/p>\n

Brotherhood of Steel\u00a0<\/em>is a spin-off to the main\u00a0Fallout\u00a0<\/em>series and consequently plays very differently. The most jarring difference is that the game doesn’t feature one of the series’ iconic open-worlds; it instead offers a linear playing experience<\/a>. As well as being the shortest game in the franchise,\u00a0Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel\u00a0<\/em>is also the worst received critically, exemplified by its Metascores of 64 and 66 on PS2 and Xbox, respectively.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Fallout Shelter – 15\u00a0Hours<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Fallout Shelter<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>was initially released on iOS and Android in 2015 before coming to PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch in the years that followed.<\/p>\n

The game performed even worse with critics than\u00a0Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel\u00a0<\/em>in terms of its console and PC Metascores, though it was far better received on mobile, hence why it doesn’t hold the title of the series’ most poorly received entry. Along with its iOS Metascore of 71,\u00a0Fallout Shelter\u00a0<\/em>won the Golden Joystick Award for Best Mobile Game<\/a> in 2015.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Fallout – 16.5 Hours<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The one that started it all, the original\u00a0Fallout\u00a0<\/em>was released in 1997 by Interplay Entertainment, under their former name Interplay Productions. The game introduced many of the features that are still apparent in the latest\u00a0Fallout\u00a0<\/em>titles, such as the\u00a0S.P.E.C.I.A.L system and open-world.<\/p>\n

One key difference between the original game and the recent Bethesda titles is that\u00a0Fallout\u00a0<\/em>(1997)\u00a0has\u00a0turn-based combat instead of\u00a0real-time combat. The game’s turn-based combat mechanic utilized an action-point system, wherein players can perform a certain number of actions in their turn\u00a0before the meter runs out, adding strategic depth.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Fallout 3 – 22.5\u00a0Hours<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

When it was announced that Bethesda would be releasing the next entry into the\u00a0Fallout\u00a0<\/em>series, a ton of pressure was suddenly planted on\u00a0the upcoming game’s shoulders. Bethesda had released\u00a0The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>in March 2006, so many people were expecting the same high quality when the latest\u00a0Fallout\u00a0<\/em>title hit stores in 2008. Thankfully, the game didn’t disappoint and quickly became recognized as one of the best open-world RPGs at the time.<\/p>\n

It may not seem like much today, but leaving\u00a0Fallout 3<\/em><\/a>‘s vault\u00a0<\/em>was an incredible moment back in 2008. The sudden level of freedom and impressive view of the huge open-world<\/a> was a groundbreaking moment for mainstream audiences at the time and was instrumental in the rise of the open-world genre.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Fallout\u00a04 – 27\u00a0Hours<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Impressively,\u00a0Fallout 4<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>had an even larger weight of expectations than\u00a0Fallout 3<\/em> when it was announced.\u00a0<\/em>Not only did the game have to follow the success of\u00a0Fallout 3<\/em>,\u00a0The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Obsidian Entertainment’s\u00a0Fallout: New Vegas<\/em><\/a>, but it was also released on the next generation of the consoles\u00a0after those that hosted the\u00a0aforementioned games.<\/p>\n

Positive initial reviews from critics came as expected, and the game was a big commercial success upon release. However, once fans got a few hours into the game, a few issues began to surface. Along with some technical issues, many fans were disappointed at the lack of true choice in the game, especially compared to\u00a0New Vegas.<\/em>\u00a0The game wasn’t dismissed as bad by any means, though many people felt that it could have been improved\u00a0if their decisions had\u00a0more impactful consequences<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Fallout: New Vegas – 27.5\u00a0Hours<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Fallout: New Vegas\u00a0<\/em>is essentially the opposite of\u00a0Fallout 4\u00a0<\/em>in the sense that the game’s initial hype wasn’t anywhere near as big as\u00a0Fallout 3<\/em>, but once players\u00a0spent a few hours in its post-apocalyptic wasteland, they realized that it was something truly special.<\/p>\n

The game isn’t the most flashy open-world game<\/a>, and many people describe the visuals as flat-out ugly today, though it massively succeeds in the most important factor: its role-playing gameplay.\u00a0Fallout New: Vegas\u00a0<\/em>offers players a level of freedom that is almost unparalleled, consequently making it one of the best modern RPGs of all time.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Fallout 2 – 30.5\u00a0Hours<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The sequel to the groundbreaking original\u00a0Fallout\u00a0<\/em>was once again released by Interplay Entertainment, under their former name as Interplay Productions. The game’s development was handled by a subsidiary of theirs, Black Isle Studios. The studio has since been dissolved, with many of the key employees creating Obsidian Entertainment, the aforementioned team behind Fallout: New Vegas.<\/em><\/p>\n

Much like its predecessor,\u00a0Fallout 2\u00a0<\/em>differentiates itself from the\u00a0Fallout\u00a0<\/em>games that would follow with its turn-based combat and\u00a02D isometric graphics.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel – 31\u00a0Hours<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel\u00a0<\/em>was\u00a0developed by\u00a0Micro Fort\u00e9 and released in 2001, making it the third entry in the series.\u00a0As the name suggests, the game focuses on the turn-based tactics combat from the first two\u00a0Fallout\u00a0<\/em>games.\u00a0Extra emphasis is put on the strategic depth of the combat, most notably by offering three different modes of combat: Individual Turn-Based, Continuous Turn-Based, and Squad Turn-Based.<\/p>\n

Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of<\/em> Steel<\/em>‘s impressive runtime of over 30 hours is one of the many factors behind its impressive Metascore of 82.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Fallout 76 – 34 Hours<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The\u00a0Fallout\u00a0<\/em>series has always seemed like an ideal candidate for an online multiplayer game, so there was little surprise when Bethesda first announced\u00a0Fallout 76<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Like many games on this list, expectations for the final product were high, making it all the more disappointing when the final product was plagued with technical issues and a lack of expected features.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the game has significantly improved since its day one release, and its inclusion on Game Pass means that many people can try the game without having to make a significant financial commitment.<\/p>\n
