    The difficulty is what has kept me off it, I think. It’s been on my radar for a while and I do love Fallout 1&2, but I’m wary of getting frustrated and stuck in games nowadays.

      I would get a build guide (not a walkthrough), the game will still be challenging but you’ll feel like you have the tools to counter your enemies.

      Don’t want to reveal any spoilers, but it might be worth consulting a walkthrough in the last 20% of the game, not for step by step instructions, but some key choices that IMO make or break the final mission/area.

        See, that’s good advice and I’ll remember it if I ever play it but still kind of speaks of the sort of design I’m a bit wary of these days.

        Though I guess I would probably say the same about FO 1/2 also if I didn’t already know them…

          If you like FO 1/2, I would just dive in.

          In a sense, I am envious that you have never played UnderRail and it will be a first time experience for you.

          I was in a similar position, I love FO 1/2, I had heard about UnderRail for years, but never made the move. When I tried, I couldn’t stop till I reached the end. It’s not without its flaws, but it has a great tactical combat system and an in-depth sense of place.

          If you’re capable for playing FO 1/2, you’ll manage. Especially if you pick a build guide.

            I’ll keep it in mind and put it on my wishlist. I have a lot of games to get through, but I’ll try to give it a shot before the sequel comes out.
