Fallout 4 review
A vast and frequently brilliant return to Bethesda's atomic sandbox, but constant technical issues are a frustration.

Fallout 4 Review
Most of the way this huge roleplaying-shooter game works is carried over from its excellent predecessors, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. It is the Skyrim to Fallout 3's Oblivion, if you will – it iterates on the previous game's already amazing systems, and it's similarly dense with locations to...

Fallout 4 review – war really doesn't?change
Its technical faults and lack of innovation are frustrating, but the game underneath is as enthralling and compulsive as anything Bethesda has ever made.
Pros:
- An amazingly detailed game world, with a secret and surprise around every corner
- Excellent upgrade system, crafting, and good variety of companions
- Interesting base-building
Cons:
- Technically unimpressive, especially in terms of character graphics and frustrating load times
- Almost no new ideas
- Dialogue and set pieces are often handled clumsily

Fallout 4 (for PlayStation 4)
War never changes. Since the third installment, the series that made that phrase popular hasn't changed much, either. When Bethesda Softworks took over the Fallout series for Fallout 3 and transitioned the game from turn-based overhead RPG to first-person real-time RPG, it was a huge change that...
Pros:
- Large, open wasteland filled with things to do
- Equipment customization finally gives you a reason to collect junk
- Dozens if not hundreds of hours of gameplay across the various side quests
Cons:
- Settlement mechanic is clunky and slapped-on
- Power armor is suddenly dependent on a limited resource
- Easy to get sidetracked
- Feels like more of the same from Bethesda

It's more Fallout. If you liked Fallout 3, you'll probably like this.
Pros:
- The same great immersive systems and gameplay we've come to expect from Bethesda
Cons:
- Not much really "new" here to talk about
- the additions feel almost vestigial and don't enhance the game overall

Fallout 4
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.
Pros:
- Improved graphics
- spoken dialog adds to story immersion
- crafting system allows for weapon and armor customization
- lots to do in game
Cons:
- Some odd NPC path-finding behavior
- one crash during prolonged gameplay
- jury is still out on settlement building

Fallout 4
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.

Fallout 4 review - a story of family, settlements, and power armor
"There's no way Bethesda is announcing Fallout 4 for this year. Every time they announce a new game we see it behind closed doors, and then they release it the next holiday season," I remarked to my team at E3 2015, citing experience culled from over a decade of working with the Maryland-based...
Pros:
- Crafting / Modding / Building engine is amazing
- Enemies are dangerous and slightly smarter
- Goodbye desaturated greens and browns
- Solid voice work
Cons:
- NPCs remain two-dimensional and dull
- Side quests quality varies wildly
- Some bugs and audio repetition/glitching
- Two hard lockups on XB1
- zero on PC
