It's hard to even call this mess an RPG. It shares far more in common with modern shooters than Fallout 3/New Vegas, and you can only ever play as one character since your character is voice-acted and the choices all amount to the same things. However, there's still something here that's worth exploring if you've got nothing better to play, just don't come at expecting an RPG experience. You can literally just play it like a shooter and try not to let the incredibly shallow mechanics get your down. The main story is pretty terrible, but the world has been well-crafted and there are some interesting NPCs. I treat it more as a fan project than a canon entry to Fallout since it retcons so much of the original lore.
This is what a remake should be. This should be held as the golden example for all other developers trying to cash in on a beloved franchise by doing a remake. As a backer, I've followed the development from day one, and it was a bit troubled, but you should see those troubles as a positive, because they reversed course halfway through when we backers said it was deviating too far from the original in terms of graphics and overall feel. This backtracking added a lot of time and costs to the development, but NIGHTDIVE wanted to do it right and had the utmost respect for not only the IP, but the fans as well. KUDOS NIGHTDIVE! I've been happily playing the beta for months now, and now the full release is everything I could want it to be. The style and tone is spot on. The looks and feels exactly as it should, as a now retro-futuristic cyber hellscape. The modern quality of life features mean this is the best way to play an all time classic.
