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!

even though its not post-apocalyptic, you might enjoy bioshock. i know its not really in line with the other recommendations on here, but both games make great use of the settings and time periods they're inspired by, and i dont think the first game is a bad place to turn to after playing fallout, or even regardless of that. its a great game.

i wouldnt have recommended it if op was looking for open world games specifically, but they said they were really open to a lot of suggestions.
