THE FUSE

There are fair critiques to be had about 2015’s Fallout 4, but goodness if it isn’t a wonderful post-apocalyptic gaming canvas that’s rewarding to explore. It has a generously sized map, with plenty of scenic interior and exterior environments in which to play out the fantasy of surviving amidst the wreckage of a long-gone American society. Ghost in the Shell’s director is apparently also a huge fan. He’s been roaming Bethesda’s fallen Massachusetts for nearly a decade now, and has some really entertaining rules governing his adventures.
