Never thought I'd be playing this but props to the Fallout TV show for motivating me to play FO1. Good experience; it does a good job serving as the catalyst for the rest of the series. I was very impressed with this game, especially with it being from the late 90s.

Props to Tim Cain and the team who made this. I thought that it would be very barebones but I know understand why the rest of the series (the games that I’ve played at least) are so fleshed out and have such robust lore. FO1 is a masterclass in starting a franchise

It's the middle child of the Persona Dancing franchise. Not as good as 4 but somewhat better than 5. Has the same problems as Persona 5 Dancing in that the note tracking just isn't as good and feels almost random at times. Using scratch notes to represent actual notes in the melody throws me off whenever I play. Also some remixes are a bit mid but nothing majorly terrible besides 1 or 2 exceptions. The Social Link conversations are a bit neat but often go on way too long and I would find myself skipping through the dialogue for a majority of them. The first person sections are neat but the camera is weird which ends with me being motion-sick if I play those sections for too long. Besides these complaints, I found myself enjoying it quite a bit since P3 has way more songs to select from compared to P5. It's good, but it just doesn't hold a candle to Persona 4 Dancing All Night.

Bethesda pulled off something really incredible here. Never once did I think this would work but after 6 years, the game feels complete. It has a few major issues with its lack of storytelling among some other things, but doing random quests with my brother was really fun. I do wish there was more character/enemy variety because it is tiring having to deal with the same thing in every area, but it’s an improvement. Seeing the game at launch compared to now is night and day. While this probably won’t be the way the next installment is, I do hope they add some kind of online component because there is potential here to do even more.
