Neat lil boss rush game with great pixel art graphics! Enjoyed the first half, cause after that it felt like the difficulty went up a couple of notches, and it got just too hard for me. The bosses seem very well designed, but they may have had a tad bit too much health for my taste. I've heard people complain that the game is unfair, but I think it's one of those games where you just have to put in the time. Whenever I died it felt like my own mistake. Interesting little world with a quest system similar to metroidvanias like Blasphemous and Hollow Knight, but way simpler. Combat felt like a roguelike with soulslike elements. I feel like calling the game Eldest Souls was a discredit to itself, because it makes it sound like a parody or a cheap ripoff. I think the game could've standed well enough of it's own without marketing it as a "Souls" game.

I am quite biased when it comes to Fallout 3, because it was both my first shooter and first 18+ game. I was probably around 11 years old, and I vividly remember buying a Paysafe card (anyone remember those?) at 7-11 , so I could buy it behind my parents back. My first playthrough of this game is such a fond memory, as I remember being completely immersed in it, and I couldn't think about anything else when I was at school or when going to bed. Everything about it felt so real to me.

Replaying it now was fun, but it felt like more of a slog towards the end. I thought the main story was a lot more boring than what I did as a kid, except for the Tranquility Lane quest. That one's fun.
The exploration is my favorite part of the game. It's really the side-quests that make this game fun, and just walking around discovering random encounters or grisly locations too. This might be my least favorite Fallout game at this point (tied with 4), but damn if the Capital Wasteland and it's weird ass characters aren't just so cool. Also I want to marry Sierra Petrovita.
