What are some good classic Fallout-likes (beehaw.org)

I like not just CRPG, but specifically scifi and/or post apocalyptic CRPG. I’ve replayed the first two Fallout games umpteeth times. Wasteland 2 and 3, while being tactical CRPGs rather than singular character driven ones are high on my list of great games.

But I’m looking to diversify. I know there are many Fallout-likes, but figuring out which are worth my time is difficult. So what have you?

UnderRail is always recommended but it also looks kind of impenetrable to understand.

ATOMRpg was fun at first when I tried it, but after a while my character simply couldn’t pass any speech checks and I got stuck wandering around the map in frustration.

I haven’t tried Encased. Reviews are split, with a lot of critique of the end game. I have no clue if it’s been worked on.

Colony Ship looks super interesting but I won’t buy it until it’s done.

I guess you can fit the Borderlands franchise in this category? It's post apocalyptic, an FPS and story driven. It can also get quite technical if you want to get deep into character builds. Other than that there's Bioshock. Let me know if you'd like some lesser known games if you've played these already.

Classic Fallout-likes are more in the CRPG vein. Overhead view, turn based combat, dialog heavy, multiple solutions to things.

I dig Borderlands, but it’s a straight up lootershooter.
