Another entry in the long running “-fall” series of games.

(For real, it’s weird how so many game have “fall” in their name if you start paying attention to it. Everything be fallin’.)

-fall seems to have taken over from -craft

Well, when you think about it, it makes sense. It's a versatile and cool sounding word format or whatever you call it. You can use it for literal stuff, such as Titanfall, where robots fall from the sky or comets or whatever. But also in a collapse kind of thing, like here. And fallen civilizations and apocalypses are a popular themes, so..

A few years ago I think I'd agree, but I feel like at this point it's a super lazy naming scheme, to be honest.

Don't have a good name? Just slap "-fall" on the end of some noun.

Not to be confused with the german -fall game No Unfall.

Not to be confused with the Soulsborne edutainment game Nounfall.

Good genre name tbh.

Redfall was trash, checks out

Kind of like -ly and -hub in domain names, or -kit in software libraries? :)

It almost sounds like “Autumn Fall”

Game looks cool. I just hate promo videos where they have someone from the company explain it. Just give me a trailer or straight video, I don't need someone selling it to me in the most corporate HR way possible.

It needs a first slide where they explain how the play and pause button works and what an index is.

Sometimes I feel that these videos are for some unfrozen cavemen that are trying to fit our modern world of corporate wonders.

Looks like a British Fallout. Cool!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

This is what fallout would look like if it was in a modern game engine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, there's already a British Fallout mod that's maybe even better-ish than the last two entries.

It’s like stalker and fallout had a British baby. I’m intrigued
