90 hours into Underrail and still loving it

Several major developments in my journey and adventures

I completed the Arena and I now have the Invictus title, great challenges and another example of where you need to be selective around combat strategy to win battles. I started the Gauntlet but then decided not to complete it. I dont like the idea of not having all my equipment which means I cant adopt my numerous combat strategies

I decide to join Coretech as my Core City faction, they have useful tech items and they make sense to me around there politics

I also aligned with the Protectorate and completed there quests, I like there vision of the future of Underrail. I went on the Chemical Assault Unit quests and ended up wiping out the Free Drones with mutagen gas . This was another example of a clever and unexpected mission. It turned into a complete disaster with me having to avoid the gas and escape the Free Drones base, I let the gas do most of the work and allowed the Free Drones and Mutants to kill each other

Im now at the Tchort Institute to get the cube back and its a fascinating place and what they believe. I am doing all the quests and I have read up on all the lore on the Original Report. I just completed the quest where you have to secure Station 7 in the tunnels underneath the Institute and the battle was other epic struggle of needing to use different strategies. I used mines, caltrops, stealth, grenades and then my Psi to finally win. It was like the Shopping Mall quest, you cannot rely on one approach

The Fast Travel option using Rift Gates is probably the most realistic and best implementation of Fast Travel I have ever come across, I realize this was added in the DLC so for most people who played the original game they didnt get to use it. But you need to find Rift Gates which is almost impossible without a guide and then they just make things easier. Its very convenient but you still need to explore and travel on foot

And then I still find Easter Eggs from randomly exploring , I came across this canyon and then I climbed down and found a Lunatic base and Formedictator selling rare items

The game really delivers on open-world, sandbox and different ways to complete quests 

Do you have also both DLCs installed? I have Underrail on my backlog, but missing the latest DLC yet.

I do have the Expedition DLC which includes new mechanics like the Rift Gates 

Mamie you MUST play this game but buy Expedition because there is another region to explore after the main quest is completed

It has this constant reality where you have to utilize different strategies for  different battles

I have never played a game like that before, most games you can rely on more or less the same combat  approach with some buffs for protections  but not this game 

You have to  think and adopt  in most large battles
