I love Fallout 1 and I read those shitty reviews and because of those dumbfucks I bought Underrail. I wish somebody would have warned me back then.

Future Wasteland
Strap Yourselves In
Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Never played, don't intend to play.

ELEX

Haven't finished, can't rate.

Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar

Haven't finished, can't rate. Likely would be med-high rating, though.

Prey

What?

Tyranny

Finshed, can rate. I give it a 6.1 out of 10. Playable, but goofy and shallow in many areas.

Divinity Original Sin 2

Haven't played, don't intend to play (see below).

Divinity Original Sin 1

Never finished, but got close enough to rate. 5.98 out of 10. Boring, boring, boring, but only at about the 70% completion point. It's p. fun before that, torture after.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

What?

The Witcher 3

Finished, can rate. For an action RPG, honestly, 8.99 out of 10. For an RPG proper, it only gets a 6.2 out of 10 from me. Fun, high-quality potato.

Torment: Tides of Numenera

Finished, can rate. I give this one a 6.02 out of 10. I'm actually surprised I got through it. Awkward game.

Age of Decadence

I didn't play this and I'm ashamed to admit it. I'll get to it eventually.

Underrail

Haven't finished, can't rate, but it would likely get med-high ratings from me.

Wasteland 2

Never completely finished, but got far enough (in L.A.) to rate. 6.0000000000000000000023 out of 10. Fun at first, drags on about halfway through, it's a slog to get through to L.A. where things pick up again. Wish I had held off on this one until the Director's Cut which makes it better.

Pillars of Eternity

Finished, can rate. I give it a 5.619 out of 10. Josh.

Fallout 4

Never finished, don't intend to, can rate, however: Why did I put so many hours into this out of 10.

Of the recent CRPG revival I thought Pillars was amazing despite some less than great sections, and Divinity OS was the best.

Grimoire is unironically a good game that needs a lot of love and a competent programmer, but what is there is sometimes amazing.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance: have to play when less bugs.
ELEX: have to play when very cheap. Maybe.
Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar: isn't my thing, so I won't judge.
Prey: only played the demo, was bored to tears (it's like these designers haven't learned a thing since the 90s. Except for how to casualize your game).
Tyranny: 04/10. Some good ideas, awful execution + rtwp MMOesque shit. The writing was pure cringe.
Divinity Original Sin 2: I'll never play it because...
Divinity Original Sin 1: ... the first one was a failure. 04/10 for the combat.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided: won't play. The setting, the narrative and the ideas they conveyed were a very important part of Deus Ex for my teenage self. And these ideas weren't liberal bullshit.
The Witcher 3: 04/10. Boring Ubisoft-like shit.
Torment: Tides of Numenera: 05/10. Some interesting ideas (the points to make actions and then rest... but with no time limit for tjhe resting what's the point?)
Age of Decadence: 08/10. Goes where I want a RPG to go. It wasn't perfect in it's execution but still delivered. I haven't enjoyed a RPG so much since... Bloodlines, I guess?
Underrail: 05/10. Boring, to much combat (with damned cooldowns, ugh...).
Wasteland 2: 03/10. Being turn based is the only thing thos games makes right.
Pillars of Eternity: didn't played it, but I guess it's the same as Tynanny but without the good parts.
Fallout 4: lol.

UR is great but comparing it to FO is asking for trouble.

UR is great but comparing it to FO is asking for trouble.

so let me quote just a few steam/gog reviews:

"the isometric Fallout 3 that was never released"
"You like Jagged Alliance? You dig Fallout 1+2 and Arcanum to boot? Well, Underrail will scratch that itch. "
"The game plays a lot like fallout 1 & 2"
"The Fallout influence here is strong"
"It has been a long time, but finally, after 17 years of waiting, Fallout 3 is released"
"In short, if you liked Fallout 1&2, Arcanum or System Shock you basically can't go wrong."
"Extraordinary classic cRPG title. For all gamers that spent their childhood playing fallout 1-2"
"This really takes me back to Fallout 1/2"
"If you love the classic Fallout games. Then I encourage you to buy this game."
"The game itself is super cool like Fallout 2"
"Playing Underrail felt like playing a new Take on Fallout 1/2"
"the fallout 3 we never got"

this list could go on forever.
I read shit like that and I love Fallout, so I bought Underrail.
there has to be someone who warns those who adore Fallout, so that they don't make the same mistake as I did. and that someone is me :argh:

I feel you, bro, big harm was done to your psyche. Whose inaccurate Steam reviews:x

Yeah, you love original Fallout but you heard about it first time after beating Fallout 3, right?

if disappointing and boring me counts as harming my psyche, then yes.

I love that spoiler of yours though :) just because I joined the Codex in 2018 means I'm 12 and that I play Fallout 3 and Skyrim on a daily basis, doesn't it? why haven't you gone even further and suggested that Fallout 4 was my introduction to RPGs?

butthurt Underrail fanboys are turning this topic into a shitfest instead of rating the OPs list :outrage:

You're probably some 12 year old kid who plays Fallout 3 and Skyrim daily. Heck, maybe F3 is too old school for you and your introduction to RPG's was Fallout 4?

thanks, that's the proper introduction to this site that I've been waiting for ! :bounce:

but to be honest, I'm only 9 and I've never even played an RPG in my life, my daily games are PUBG and Fortnite. :incline:
