I like not just CRPG, but specifically scifi and/or post apocalyptic CRPG. I’ve replayed the first two Fallout games umpteeth times. Wasteland 2 and 3, while being tactical CRPGs rather than singular character driven ones are high on my list of great games.

But I’m looking to diversify. I know there are many Fallout-likes, but figuring out which are worth my time is difficult. So what have you?

UnderRail is always recommended but it also looks kind of impenetrable to understand.

ATOMRpg was fun at first when I tried it, but after a while my character simply couldn’t pass any speech checks and I got stuck wandering around the map in frustration.

I haven’t tried Encased. Reviews are split, with a lot of critique of the end game. I have no clue if it’s been worked on.

Colony Ship looks super interesting but I won’t buy it until it’s done.

Not exactly the same but check out Kenshi. It's also more like Wasteland than it is like FO but i can't recommend it enough.

Post apocalyptic weird low-tech scifi sandbox.

Important to note, its completely open ended. No story. But quite a lot of stuff to do, factions to keep tabs on, settlements to build and manage, people to recruit.. lots of moddability.

You'll have to find your own purpose out there.

Oh and it's crippling difficulty can be daunting.

I’ve played Kenshi quite a lot. I enjoyed it and might replay again, though I’m kind of after something a little more structured. Kenshi is a great “forever game” to play in small spurts though.
