Fallout, Tides of Tomorrow Are Two Sides of the Same Post-Apocalyptic Coin

The article compares Fallout and Tides of Tomorrow as two very different post-apocalyptic games.

Fallout stands out through its retro-futurist style, iconic wastelands, and long-running influence on the genre.

Tides of Tomorrow tries to differentiate itself with a flooded ocean world and asynchronous multiplayer shaped by other players' choices.

Together, they show how setting and multiplayer design can help a new game break from established post-apocalyptic conventions.
