"I'll just complete this last mission."

When this game clicked for me, I was hooked. Alternating between skags, bandits, and the subsequent variety of enemies was very satisfying. There probably could be more done to the difficulty balance to make it harder to be killed, but more punishing when it does happen. Still, the game brings surprising difficulty ramp-ups that were welcome in its final third with the introduction of armored enemies. A great time.
