    Video game adaptations are effective marketing. I’ll say from experience, the Fallout show was the most effective commercial I’d ever seen. They probably hoped it would lead me to playing Fallout 76 like it did for so many other folks, but I played Fallout 2 instead.

        It was the only mainline game I hadn’t played at the time. I still haven’t played Tactics, Shelter, or 76 and don’t really intend to.

          I enjoyed Tactics, but that was also when it was relatively new. It may be worth checking out still if you like squad-based strategy games.

          Shelter was pretty fun, played it for a few months when it came out. Obviously if you’re not a fan of the genre already it probably doesn’t offer much for you.
