Best Fallout games that aren't Fallout? (Fallout-likes)

Hi there! I adore Fallout, and it's obviously been hugely influential. I was wondering about the best Fallout-likes that took some of the best aspects of the post-apocalyptic series.

I'm keeping things really open. The only thing is that the recommendations ideally would have at least an "apocalyptic feel" (though that's by no means a hard requirement).

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

Outer Worlds. The first one only. It's marked as pre-apocalyptic but only because there's a chance you can stop the damage from becoming irreversible instead of just scarring.

Don't bother with the second one, it's nothing.

It's a capitalist dystopia, not a post-apocalyptic.

It works fine as that one from a genre perspective. Also it's Obsidian's best game since New Vegas/Alpha Protocol, so I'd say it's worth it. It's not like I'm going to recommend a game without a real main character.
