The one word I would use to describe this game is concise. On paper it is a small game, it only has 12 locations with not a whole lot of quests. However the game leverages numerous techniques to create a sense of scale such as; utilizing an overworld map, random encounters, and quests having numerous solutions all contributing to make the world feel greater than the sum of its parts.
Every part of this game has the goal of making the world feel believable, The Diegetic UI, the ambient soundtrack, the numerous options you have in completing quests, the unforgiving combat, and the lack of hand holding all combine to create a believable and immersive experience that you can complete in 10-20 hours.
I greatly enjoyed my time with Fallout, and I am excited to see what’s in store in Fallout 2.
