Highlight #1: Fallout 3
9:42 p.m
Freshly painted – Fallout 3 – Just a simple shooting game?
genre: role play | developer: Bethesda Game Studios | Release: October 2008
Fallout is currently on everyone's lips thanks to the extremely successful Amazon series. So what better time than now to explore post-apocalyptic America for yourself?
The third part of the series takes you to the wasteland around the former capital of Washington DC. As a resident of Vault 101, you have to search for your missing father. However, the enclave gets in your way.
Fallout 3 was the first three-dimensional series part at the time and after the Interplay exit, the first series part from the pen of Elder Scrolls maker Bethesda. Thankfully, the new developers didn't leave the old charm out in the cold, but humorously and skillfully breathed new life into the brutal Fallout world.

Tomb Raider – Test video for the PC version of the reboot
genre: Action-Adventure | developer: Crystal Dynamics | Release: March 2013
Our second highlight of this month is not post-apocalyptic, but no less dangerous. In the 2013 reboot of the well-known Tomb Raider series You slip into the shoes of the still young and inexperienced archaeologist Lara Croft.
At the start of the game, Lara and her crew are shipwrecked on a seemingly uninhabited island in the Pacific. But as it quickly turns out, they are not alone there, because an ancient and threatening curse weighs on the island, who imprisons everyone who has ever set foot on the island. From then on a merciless fight for survival begins.
With the reboot, developer Crystal Dynamics wanted to tell the story of a Lara whose greatest adventures still lie ahead of her. The puzzles known from older parts of the series have largely been omitted – the reboot is much more action-packed.
Back then, we gave the visually great reboot an 85 and found: Class staged
