As a big fallout 3/New vegas fan, i wanted to dive deeper into the lore. Definitely a learning curve on the mechanics and controls of the game. But with some youtube videos i was able to learn pretty fast. Very different from what i was used to but i really enjoy it!

It's kinda like Star Wars in that no matter how good some of the sequels were, and how much I love it, part of me kinda wishes the Fallout series ended with the first one. Not even close to perfect, but nothing beats the first playthrough. Steeped in atmosphere, awash with interesting artistic direction, this is a game made by people with genuine vision. Everybody needs to play it. It's not even that hard, back in the 90s it was assumed your average gamer could just jump into a game like this with nothing but a manual and their wits. World's gone soft, I'd say.

This was my first CRPG and I would argue it was a great place to start (especially if you are like me and can't run Baldur's Gate III). I went into this primarily as a fan of Fallout: New Vegas and that's kind of how I'm framing this review (no major spoilers though). I had come to understand that despite being in an entirely different genre, the rich and believable world of Fallout: New Vegas, along with its willingness to present tough choices with real consequences, could be traced back to the original game in the series. I wanted more of that universe and its choices, and Fallout 1 more than delivered. That being said, the game asks a lot of you. It requires far more patience than just about any modern game I've played, and even then the reward for this patience is less tangible than, say, defeating a boss in a soulslike. This game asks you to do a lot of reading, with the reward ultimately kind of being... more reading. However mundane that sounds, the dialogue here is among the best rewards in any game I can think of. The writing is subtler than New Vegas, the comedy a little more sparse (yet equally funny), and the tone more focused... and what a tone it is. This game is *bleak*. It hasn't yet been 100 years since the bombs fell, and it shows. Civilization is only just beginning to rebuild. Fallout 1's characters take this world very seriously, because it appears they have no other choice. Having given all that praise, on a first playthrough, I did feel like I was waving a cane in the dark. Stats are everything, so build a character poorly and you could be SOL, especially given the time limit on the main quest (the timer is actually quite forgiving, but it definitely didn't feel that way without knowing how far along the quest I was). Dialogue choices with major consequences are often not presented that way, and combat encounters come out of absolute nowhere at times. I learned to save frequently which mostly circumvented these problems, but there was definitely a good deal of frustration, especially at first. I also had to use a guide a few times, with some clues for progression being just a little too cryptic in my opinion (oldheads may disagree). Ultimately, all of the resistance that came along with this game only made it that much more rewarding to complete. The feeling of finally taking out a Deathclaw, or repairing a robot using context clues alone and watching it clear a path forward, or realizing that the once-unintuitive controls had become second nature, or random-encountering a crashed alien spaceship, or losing a companion and choosing to let the story go on without them. Each of these moments meant a lot, and there were countless others like them. This is definitely not a game to come home to during a stressful week at work, but it *is* a game to fall in love with on a long weekend. I highly recommend.

PROS: -Tremendous player agency. Not only does Fallout 1 give you choices to do just about anything in the game world, it also makes you feel like success or failure is up to the player. The viability of your character build, the chances of who you kill or who ends up killing you hinges entirely on the choices you make. Something that is VERY unique, especially compared to modern games. -Rewarding advancement. Every level gives you a sense that your character is advancing in meaningful ways. Perks feel powerful and significant, your skills matter, and endgame abilities can make you feel like a powerhouse. -Memorable characters. The story characters have unique graphics and interesting personalities that are well voice acted. -Humor. The game has a unique sense of dark comedy that makes the game fun to play while still preserving the bleak and serious atmosphere. -Replayability. Even after beating the game more than once there is still motivation to go back and play, making a different type of character or making different RP choices that lead to different outcomes. -Unique aesthetic. The setting and artstyle is unlike anything else, blending retro vibes with bleak cynicism. CONS: -Not much to look at. Even for a 20+ year old game, the graphics are very rudimentary. There aren't that many sprite variations so many characters, including important NPCs and story characters, look like indistinguishable clones. Since the art is low-res, you're forced to either up the resolution which makes everything look tiny or lower the resolution in which case everything looks kinda pixelated. -Unbalanced skills. Some abilities (small guns, energy weapons, speech, gifted) are incredibly powerful while other abilities (almost everything else) are next to useless. You might actually use skills like Science or Repair maybe once or twice in the entire game. It makes the game feel like you need a guide to tell you how to make your character due to there being so many useless choices. -Small world. While the game makes the world feel big by making you walk long distances in the overworld, there are only a handful of locations in the game. The time you take to beat the game is on par with other RPGs (about 20-ish hours) but you spend most of your time in just a few areas comprising only a few of the same tilesets. -Slow combat. Being turn-based is okay, but the battles can at times feel like it takes forever for people in the game to do what they're doing or walk where they're going to walk, especially when there's lots of enemies in the area. Overall though, Fallout 1 is an amazing game that produces a really unique experience that feels fulfilling in a way you don't see to much of anymore.

Fallout 1 is great. It just has a feel that none of the other games manage to replicate. There’s nothing quite like it. Although unfortunately you might need to install some patches since there are some annoying bugs (unusable inventory, broken quests, etc.). I personally recommend installing the TeamX Patches and nothing else.
