Title: Underrail - It's Fallout underground

Underrail is heavily inspired by classic Fallout [as in, the first two] and it shows in every aspect of the game. You've got the isometric, 2D backgrounds, turn-based tile combat, the crumbling scifi setting, character creation, and so on. Right now it's still in Early Access Beta on Steam [and other services not worth mentioning], but it's perfectly playable in its current state and well worth the asking price of $10.

The full release is out now. I really can't recommend this game enough, I played it about 4 hours more than two years ago and it was a pretty great game even then.

Despite being a game consisting of underground tunnels and caves, it still manages to feel huge, almost to the point where it's overwhelming.

Decided to focus my character towards psy powers and it feels mighty good blowing peoples' minds [literally]. Feels like it's settled into a good difficulty level finally, I can take out most enemies on the main path but still have to employ some strategy to avoid death.
