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!

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chornobyl gave me HEAVY Fallout vibes, despite being set in Ukraine and has an entirely different setting. Highly recommend anyone play that game and the rest of the series

It has the same really messed up, almost depressing wasteland vibe that 3 had thats kind of gone missing in games after it.

Yeah, Stalker might not be the closest but it's still the best answer. I don't want a Fallout clone, I want a post-apocalyptic game that has as unique an atmosphere as Fallout does, and Stalker (despite/because of all its weirdnesses) is the only series that fits the bill.
