How Long Is Encased?
When you wish for "the classic Fallout coming back" to a monkey paw.
This review is for the PC (Microsoft Windows) version
I get why people still love the first Fallout. It was a great game. It actually still is, but to enjoy it you need to understand that you're playing a game with mechanics that today are considered anticuated or even bad.
Encased tries to recapture the things that made Fallout special, but it makes the mistake to think that its systems are atemporal. They're not. The inventory system is awful, combat restrics us to specific builds and the narrative style doesn't feel 'old school' as much as it feels cheap.
They're great things in this game. Its alternative history plot is intriguing and the 'class' system works really great. It also give us a lot of freedom to approach different problems. But the clumsy combat, unrewarding exploration and broken systems makes it hard to enjoy. I think we're better playing the classic Fallout again on Game Pass.
Well... it's still on early access so I think i could get better with time... I hope.
Un RPG de inspiración clásica y de acabado irregular
No he llegado a terminarlo, me he quedado al terminar el Acto 1. El gameplay es bastante tosco y está siendo una experiencia con mucho bug. Al comienzo el universo me llamó la atención y la premisa era interesante, pero la realidad es que las misiones no tienen ningún encanto y la trama principal se me estaba haciendo muy genérica. No creo que sea mal juego en absoluto... pero cuando te haces mayor prefieres no tirar tu poco tiempo libre en juegos mediocres.
Super rich and deep Sci-fi RPG
Well, I started this up and keep trying to break into it, but I'm having a hard time.
It seems super rich and deep. It's visually appealing....but I keep bouncing off, distracted by all the other games out there.
I'm going to set it aside as something that I just don't think I want to play, though there's nothing wrong with it.

Tomorrow we might get a Metro game.
This game seems to have a bad reputation here and a mixed one on Steam. I tried it a year and a half ago or so when it was much earlier access and didn’t like it. I came back to it yesterday when my screen time sabbatical ended and tried again and it’s a lot better. If you like OG Fallout inspired turn-based isometric CRPGs that offer a variety of ways of solving quests, give this a try.
