"Where to begin?" it's the age-old Fallout question. Not only does it apply to the game – you could pursue the immediately engaging main storyline, any number of the distracting side-quests, clear out a dungeon or acquire all the companions and power armour you can – but it of course also applies to...

For a die hard Fallout fan like myself, this game delivers! The graphics are fine. The story is interesting. The customization is insane! The rare glitch is no big deal and often humorous. It doesn't negatively affect the gameplay for me. If you enjoy open world games, you'll love Fallout 4!!

Think calm and composed thoughts…Oh forget that folks! Fallout 4 is finally here and it's been an absolute blast to experience. It's been seven grueling long years since Bethesda Softworks and Bethesda Game Studios released Fallout 3 onto the masses and over those years millions of players have...

Positives Vast immersive world with dynamic weather Sense of belonging in the world Crafting system and an actual use for all that junk

Negatives NPC pathing and Dogmeat still gets in the way Delays in conversation moments Sound mixing

The next generation of Bethesda Softworks' particular brand of open-world role-playing games has arrived, and the wait has absolutely been worth it. Depth, poignancy, excitement, mature storytelling. Fallout 4 has it all, and more.

This review is dedicated to the memory of Naren Hooson . Where to begin? It's a great question for this review, but it's also a question you'll be asking yourself once you emerge from Vault 111.

There are few games in the Fall/Holiday lineup with as much hype behind them as Bethesda's Fallout 4 . Following up one of the most beloved games of all time, Fallout 3 (no, I didn't forget New Vegas … it's just not as universally loved!) , this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

Incredible depth; Crafting is extensive (and awesome; Engaging campaign; Hundreds of hours of playtime; Huge value for your dollar

Building settlements is tedious; May be a bit too complex for some; Some graphical blemishes; Bug; bugs; bugs

"War never changes" runs the tagline for Fallout 4 , and though that's a dour descriptor for this sometimes bleakly hilarious game, it's also sort of true that the Fallout series hasn't really changed. However, that's because of another important saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Confession time: I am an elitist jerk. Case in point, I am presented with the opportunity to review the most anticipated game of 2015 a week before it launches. The game in question is Fallout 4. My initial reaction? Whining, of course, because I had to play it on the PS4.

Improved graphics; spoken dialog adds to story immersion; crafting system allows for weapon and armor customization; lots to do in game

Some odd NPC path-finding behavior; one crash during prolonged gameplay; jury is still out on settlement building

It may not be your daddy's Fallout but it's an amazing experience nonetheless.

Stunning graphics; great new setting for series; interesting enemies; intruiging plot; intense set pieces; huge amount of content; new power armor mechanics are great

Facial animations can look weird; settlement system is a bit of a hassle; character leveling system feels like it creates weak characters

Bethesda games like Fallout 3, Skyrim, and Oblivion are similar in key ways. They're absolutely massive, containing both a hefty amount of freedom and technical troubles. Fallout 4, in the most reductive sense, also fits into that description.
