this game definitely didn't age as well as new vegas, but it's still enjoyable and easy to get immersed into the world. lacks a little in the depth of its characters and quests, but i always loved the setting of the capital wasteland. the story was a lot shorter and more linear than i remembered, but the dlc was so much better than i remembered it being. operation anchorage is super fun, idk why it gets so much hate.

coming back to this almost a decade after my last full playthrough and it still feels just as good as it did the first time i played it. everything in this game is created so perfectly and comes together to make such a cohesive and immersive whole. the characters, storylines, quests, music, everything works incredibly well. something so cathartic about walking through the mojave listening to old western music.

so sick. the gameplay and combat is absolutely aged and pretty bad, but the narrative is incredible. it's a bit of a hurdle to actually get into the game at the start, but once i was in, it hooked me. what it lacks in gameplay, it vastly overcompensates with in story and atmosphere. diving deep into philosophy through the actions of its many different characters and factions. feels super ambitious for releasing back in 99.

wow, i enjoyed this a lot more than i was originally expecting. going in completely blind, the game started out pretty slow and i wasn't sure how it was gonna turn out. but once the story gets going, it quickly picks up steam and hooks you. incredible narrative where every action feels like it has some consequence.

game is literally just a straight rip of ark with pokemon instead of dinosaurs. luckily, i enjoyed ark and like pokemon so this worked for me. but like most survival games, this starts out extremely fun but loses most of its steam once you hit the end of mid/start of late game. this is especially apparent here if you've played ark before because you start to feel the fatigue of doing the exact same grind again. for being complete slop tho, it's pretty fun with friends.
