Underrail, a game developed by Stygian Software, is a post-apocalyptic RPG that has been widely praised by the RPG community, particularly on RPGCodex forums. However, this praise is largely undeserved, as the game is vastly overrated due to the double standard that the community has towards indie titles versus big budget games.

One of the most significant flaws of Underrail is the lack of party creation. Players are limited to a single character throughout the entire game, which severely limits the tactical depth of the game. Players are unable to create a well-balanced party with different classes and abilities, and this can lead to some tedious gameplay moments.

Additionally, while the combat system is functional, it is not particularly engaging. The lack of party creation means that battles can often feel like a slog. The game's environments are also quite dull and uninteresting, with very little variation between different areas. There is a lack of variety in the types of enemies and challenges that players face throughout the game, which can make the gameplay feel repetitive and uninspired.

Another major issue with the game is the lack of polish at its release. Underrail was riddled with bugs and glitches, which significantly impacted the overall experience. The final area of the game was especially frustrating and tedious, leading to a lackluster conclusion to an already underwhelming experience.

Despite these flaws, Underrail has found a fanbase among incels, who seem to appreciate the game's bleak and grimy post-apocalyptic setting. The game caters to the same demographic with its lack of female characters and emphasis on violent, aggressive gameplay. This can make the game feel uninviting to players who are looking for a more balanced and inclusive RPG experience.

In conclusion, while Underrail has some redeeming qualities, such as its intricate skill system and interactive environment, it ultimately falls short of delivering a satisfying RPG experience. Its lack of party creation, dull environments, and underwhelming gameplay mechanics make for a tedious and unengaging experience. While the game may appeal to some niche groups, it fails to deliver a satisfying experience for most players.

Write a dry reply to a dry topic where nerds argue that ChatGPT is better than real humans at writing game reviews, even though the ChatGPT review examples provided by the topic starter are really dry and boring and completely without personality.



"While it is true that ChatGPT may be able to produce more objective and informative game reviews than some human writers, it is important to note that the quality of writing is not solely determined by the accuracy of information presented. The lack of personality in the examples provided by the topic starter may simply be a result of the specific input and training data used to develop ChatGPT, rather than an inherent limitation of the technology itself. Additionally, human writers are capable of incorporating their own unique perspectives and experiences into their reviews, which can make for a more engaging and relatable read for some readers. Ultimately, the value of a game review is subjective and can vary depending on individual preferences and priorities."

Oh Oblivion, thou art a wondrous game! A masterpiece of role-playing, thy fame Doth spread across the land, a worthy name For all who seek adventure in thy frame.

Thy graphics are a feast for mortal eyes, A world of beauty and of great surprise. From mountains high to caves where danger lies, Thou art a world of wonder, to our surprise.

The customization of characters, a delight, Each choice doth give us power, or might. From races to skills, we create a knight To fight the evil, and make all things right.

The combat system, too, is finely wrought, A balance of strategy, and skills we are taught. In real-time, we strike, and foes are caught In the crosshairs of our blade, in battle fought.

Thy quests are many, and each one unique, From the main questline, to side quests to seek. We journey through a world, where answers we must speak, To challenges we face, and dangers that we meet.

Yet, there are flaws within thy great expanse, The AI sometimes doth seem askance. The main questline, some say, lacks depth and chance, Compared to side quests that do entrance.

But still, we praise thee, Oblivion, for thy glory A world of wonder, where we write our story. A game that doth inspire, and entertain us in its quarry, Thou art a masterpiece, that shall never be hoary.




Finally some feeling in this crap.
