5. Fallout 4

Fallout 4 Gameplay Video

In Fallout 3, you started out as a baby. Here, you will start out as a parent who later becomes cryogenically frozen to survive a nuclear bombing. Again, this game follows a very plot-driven story but will also allow for more room to fool around and make your own decisions in the decrepit wasteland. You will be able to finally build your own home and fly around in an advanced power suit, in addition to the usual scavenging of supplies, weapons, and bottle caps. Of course, there are also missions where you will meet unique characters and companions that can actually interact with one another.

Travel with a companion: Meet many friendly faces along the way. (Especially this one!)

A power suit done right: You can finally fly around with a jet pack!
