A very simple, almost distilled take on the RPG genre. No animations, walking around, just clicking on things directly to interact with them. Surprisingly good.

Unlike the rest of the series, this one was a bit of a black sheep. Very grindy, with a weird travel system and arbitrary skill requirements slapped around randomly (with the same enemy type requiring different values in a borderline random manner).

I didn't enjoy my time in UnderRail. Based on the game description, screenshots, and online discourse, I was expecting something akin to Fallout. What I got instead felt more like modern chess. That on paper may sound like a compliment, but the core of the comparison is the advantage that rote memorization of things like oddity locations, character builds, and so on, have on the game balance. To me, the game *feels* balanced around an assumption that you've played it already. That's fine in grand strategies, 4x games, and so on (of which I'm a great fan), but in my opinion, not so great in a classical RPG, which UnderRail counts as. The main juice of the game is in the story and I'm hard pressed to replay these games more than once a decade when so many other great rpgs on the market. To give credit where it's due, UnderRail has amazing ambience and quests, but the way the game functions on default settings was tedious more than anything.
