I wasn't disappointed in the game's graphics or mechanics (with a few exceptions), but it became glaringly clear after a couple days of gameplay that Fallout Shelter is designed to get you to spend as much money as possible.
Steam Deck

I've played this game a lot on mobile but also enjoy playing it on both steam deck and the big screen pc, I think the seasons addition with experimental vaults are a great addition and keep me coming back to the game, its a nice time based grind.

Its a good game to spend a dozen of minutes each day to check it out for while waiting out on online matchmaking .
