10 Games Like Fallout 4 to Try in 2022
Sometimes, the best part about finishing a game is deciding what to play next. Whether you were drawn to the freedom of an open world adventure game, the thrill of a first-person shooter, or the gritty realism of a post-apocalyptic setting, there are any number of games similar to Fallout 4 you’re sure to love.
The hardest part might just be narrowing down your options! Here are our top picks for those of you who loved Fallout 4 and are looking for something new to sink your time into.
1. Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
If it’s sprawling, open world gameplay you’re looking for, you can’t do much better than the Elder Scrolls series.
Another Bethesda property, the Elder Scrolls is set in a fantasy rather than a post-apocalyptic world, but contains enough similar gameplay and combat elements to please any Fallout fan.
In this fifth installment in the Elder Scrolls series, you play as the Dragonborn and embark on an epic quest to defeat a world-eating dragon.
Like Fallout 4, much of Skyrim’s appeal lies in its seemingly endless open world; it’s possible to sink hundreds of hours into the game without going anywhere near the main story.
In addition to some truly epic quests, you can choose to marry or kill NPCs, join factions, indulge in crafting, gathering, and farming, or simply spend hours exploring the vast world of Tamriel.
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is available on PC, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
2. Far Cry
Another series with plenty of installments to keep you busy, Far Cry is perfect for those seeking an open world survival game. Far Cry 5, the latest game in the main series, takes place in the fictional Hope County in Montana.
You play as a deputy sheriff working alongside the resistance to defeat a doomsday cult that has taken over the county. Like previous games in the series, Far Cry 5 is an action adventure first person shooter, though with a greater focus on melee combat.
