Some jank does not stop Encased from being one of the most ambitious and greatest CRPGs in years.
A rich, original-Fallout-inspired RPG with a brilliant story. You can play it in any way you want and it’s the good kind of gaming freedom. But the sound design could have been so much better.

Just completed the game and i can confidently say that it was well worth the price. As an RPG it really does show your decisions matter especially when you get to the end. I love the armor sets they have (specifically the Carmine Heights sets are my favorites). Could use a little more variety with regards to high tech weapons but still a great selection. And to add i specifically made a metacritic account just to say how much i enjoyed this game
I give this game a 10/10

It doesn't quite manage to reach Fallout's brilliance and quality, but Encased is still a fun experience, capable of providing lots of meaningful possibilities and an interesting new post-apocalyptic world to explore.
Encased is an old school RPG with lots of content and an exciting story. However, it is perhaps a little bit too faithful to the classics.
I will say the amount of art, voice overs, and unique environments is really impressive. You’ll still have to do plenty of reading but they do a good job of making the world look, feel, and sound unique. Everything feels handmade and it almost makes me think if this developer team remade Fallout I just might make time for that trip back to the wasteland.
Encased: a Sci-Fi, Post-Apocalyptic RPG seeks to recreate the best moments of the first Fallout games. Unfortunately, it also brought with it a lot of outdated mechanics and repetitive designs. Along with this, technical problems, bugs, and unreliable localization ruin the experience.
The world of Encased is scant on exciting adventures, yet it’s overflowing with gibberish to the point that it breaks any suspension of disbelief.
A good game with good objetctives but you can feel the inexperience of the devs in some aspects like the gameplay (specially combat, loot containers system), repetitive and no sense tasks, lack of personal history, romance and interactions on the companions, crafting has no much sense ( I didnt was able to upgrade my servoarmor at the ending because the needed loot is mising) etc.
But overall is an interesting game and I hope they can do a better game in the future solving all this problems.
A good Fallout-like game. You will enjoy it if you can forgive this points. History is great too.

This game is unfinished and has a strange combination of copying something from good old games but at the same time managing to ruin it at the same time. Even Fallout Tactics had a better: design, combat system, story, content quantity/quality, gameplay. I am not even talking about Fallout 1/2.
I would say that this game is a junk collection simulator where you need to open around 20-50 containers in a zone, get some useless trash from it, while most of the containers will take a 2-4 sec animation to open it. Then you need to run in a slow mode across wide zone a couple of times to get and complete the 1-2 quests available there. Overall that will take 90% of your gaming experience. Then 5% is battle which has a terrible setting and decisions, you can also skip it and final 5% is reading which is not bad at all.
Then cleanse and repeate. This game pretends to be nice, but it has a set up to hide the lack of content by the actual time you need to spend to clean the location, by adding time requirements and tones of randomly generated trash in hundreds of containers.
Is it a good game? No
Could it be a good game? Yes, but I am so tired of unfinished games with "a good idea" but terrible implementation, that's not an excuse, do your homework, test your game, adjust and release only the playable version. If you released this piece ****, then I assume, that's what you wanted to create, and it is bad
Luckily, I got it for free in Epic, so, no money spent, just time...
