Amazing depths, superb heights
After such a title one may expect a scintillating review. Nope. All I can say is that this is one of the best games I have ever played. It is hard, especially in the earlier levels, but worth many hours of playing time and ultimate enjoyment.

Hey hey people
Hey hey People, Sseth told me to buy it and... it looks good! Like old Fallouts and Arcanum. You make a character, they throw you out in the world and things start to happen a lot. Oh you and you die and get shot a lot too. Ow.

A true love-hate relationship
Put simply, this game is very polarising. You will either love it or hate it. And if you do love it, you will likely also hate it. I love it so much that I usually replay it at least once a year. Yet I hate it that much that I have never actually finished it. People who've made it to the last part of the game will know what I mean. As far as the story and setting goes, it is incredibly unique, and the world feels thoroughly realised and lived in. The NPCs react how you would expect them to react in a future where humanity lives underground with true unexplainable horrors - pretty f'n depressed. But this game just nails that atmosphere - immerse yourself in it, explore, dominate enemies from rats, to psionic bugs and psychotic bandits with an array of weaponry and skills I don't think has been matched even in the original fallout games. Put bluntly, if you're a fan of the old fallouts, and want to play a similar game with some quality of life improvements, this is a must buy. Even if you haven't and you just want to play a decent game where the developers passion really shines through... Check it out. However, the game can be punishingly difficult. And not always by design. This is not an RPG for softies who just want to be good at everything - like I was when I first played. It requires some min-maxing (although less than you might think or be told), really thinking about your character and how you want to play, and how he will interact with the environment to be successful. But, this also serves to immerse you further within the game world by making you invest in it. So, put bluntly, it can be the most pure role playing experience you've had in years you just have to get used to dying (and learning) a lot. I've dropped a star, as the devs could really make it easier players. It can be an uphill battle from beginning to end (especially end) - sometimes when it doesn't need to be. In short, if you've got this far, do yourself a favour and just buy it.

One of the greatest RPGs of all time.
Underrail features one of the greatest single character, turn-based combat systems of all time. Combine that with one of the greatest video game settings of all time, gorgeous art/aesthetics, quality writing, and endless replayability, and what you're left with is a spectacular experience that is a must-play for anyone who claims to be a fan of the RPG genre. While the game is difficult, don't let that deter you from giving this game a whirl. I had to remake my character several times on normal difficulty my first time playing through the game. Fast forward hundreds of hours later, I'm playing extremely sub-optimal builds on the highest difficulty, and having a blast while doing it. There is no artificial difficulty in Underrail. If you're struggling, it's because your build is terrible or you're just making fundamental tactical/strategic mistakes. There are videos where people beat the game on the highest difficulty using nothing but a crowbar. My recommendation? Follow a build for your first play through, or at the very least some sort of guide. It'll allow you to get an understanding of the game's systems, experience the quality setting, quests, and everything else the game has to offer. All in all, can't recommend this game enough. Do yourself a favor and play it.

A hostile world with tools to survive it
If you're into games with a robust character creation and crafting system offering multiple options and tools to approach combat and exploration, get this game. This freedom naturally comes with a bit of a learning curve, more difficult to deal with for some than for others. The atmosphere is great; the world is dirty, dark and indiffirent with most inhabitants focused just on survival. The presentation is OK but it grew on me. The music and sounds are decent enough. The story holds together the experience filled with heaps upon heaps of combat encounters, scavenging and exploring and while I enjoyed it, I feel like it will feel a bit bare to many since the game is not extremely narratively driven. You are pointed towards objectives and sprinkled in are meaningful interactions, some interesting and even humorous ones, too, but there can never be enough for a game like this. A big hurdle for some could be the time it takes to travel in the world and possibly the amount of time combat could take. You will definitely be spending a lot of time just navigating the world, especially if you're the type to hoard items as the in-game speed selector enforces the lowest setting if you're encumbered. You might want to look into third-party software to increase game speed in either case. Play on Easy or Normal, learn the systems and crank up the difficulty on the next playthrough when you have an idea of how things work and you want to try one of the many builds that you haven't already so you can play with the toys that you couldn't before.
