Fallout is a popular action RPG franchise developed by Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky. One of the most successful video game franchises in the world, Fallout is set in a mid-22nd century post-apocalyptic and retro-futuristic world. The events of the game unfold after a nuclear war between the USA and China. The first game starts in 2161 with the protagonist, the Vault Dweller who inhabits an underground nuclear shelter. Due to the nuclear war, the world isn’t the same anymore and the survivors try their best to survive in this post-apocalyptic future.

Recently, the Fallout universe was adapted into a television series and it premiered on Prime Video. The series draws from the original storyline of the games. In the show, the refugees take shelter in fallout bunkers after a nuclear war which are known as Vaults. Unbeknownst to many these bunkers are capable of performing psychological experiments on the vault dwellers. The story takes a turn when in the distant future a young woman named Lucy leaves Vault 33 and starts journeying through a barren Los Angeles. Lucy continues her quest as she keeps searching for her father.

The show has been acclaimed globally by fans and critics alike but the games of the franchise still stand on top with some of them having quests that will blow away the show.
