I've attempted to get into Fallout 1 numerous times, never really sticking past the "Why can't I hit anything?" problem.
However, I just up and decided to watch a beginner's guide, specifically the Fallout Guide video by Games Twice-Over, and that got me started into what I can see as an amazing game.
The writing is STELLAR.
The structure of the world is understandable. You intuitively find out more about the world, and where to go very naturally.
The characters and factions are all interesting, I enjoyed talking to a lot of them.
The combat, if you're into it, works, at least if you actually spec your character correctly, and most importantly SAVE OFTEN!
My first playthrough was around 20ish hours. I'll definitely replay it some time later to see about getting better endings.
Overall, it still holds up extremely well to day, IF you actually understand what you're doing.

I've played this for 3 years, and will likely continue playing for another 5. As a game, it's fairly great all things considered, at least if you want an open world action game with a lot of variety in team composition. New content is shot out at a rate I can't even really fathom. The game earns billions of dollars a year, but at least it looks and feels like it.
The problem comes with the gacha / live service aspects. The gacha asks you either spend $400 to guarantee ONE 5-star character, or grind for 8 months and save enough to even get a chance when their gacha banner comes around, if at all. Don't even get me started on the weapon banner.
The live service end game on the other hand, kind of just boils down to farming the same challenge for 2 years at a chance to get minute stat boosts on your character. The Artifact system is perhaps the worst set of RNG statistic setups I've ever seen in any game.
I could go on for an hour about both the good and bad, but I'd rather just keep this review at that. I would never recommend this game due to the problems that arise with what the game asks of you.

I got it for a dollar. so that might skew my review, but regardless.
It's a short hour long ish adventure game where you're tasked with finding a data disc. The levels have more than enough going in them to be interesting to explore. The different paths are interesting, and the story makes sense by the end of it.
It never over stays its welcome, why not.
