This game, as with others in the series, has a fantastic and gripping story line with great character depth. Bethesda have done an incredible job increasing the replay ability of this game creating a world where all decisions create different narratives and endings.

replay ability; memorable; great narrative

bugs; graphics mediocre

A huge game that's anything you want it to be. An immense RPG, shooter, and world to explore that is only constrained by your imagination and desire to explore.

Huge and totally open world; gameplay and design; Lovely; colourful visual upgrade; Vastly improved combat; Oh God; its HUGE

High requirements make it a slog to craft anything; Frame rates can be choppy

…Or. The game Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer should have been! That will make sense in a bit, because it was at one point my only real issue with Fallout 4, but that has long since been sorted out on my side. This is a late review, so let me get this part out of the way first.

I love the VATS system and the complexity of the upgrade and ability system, the choice of weapons is so varied and the map is completely huge, I'm only about 15 or so hours in, and the only reason I stopped is because the disk broke.

120hrs played and still not even halfway thru the story – enough said- Massive open world, building up settlements easy. A few small game play problems but not game breakers. You will have fun exploring this amazing world – and the ability to “Modify” the game in the future is another good reason to give it a go.

Awesome highly recommend this game but if you hate bugs I advise you the wait a month or so before buying

Great and fun game to play for hours with heaps of sidequests and open world, however only negative is serious amounts of bugs and glitches in cut scenes.

Also the one piece armor suits you get I found don't really tell you if its going to take everything off clearly enough and most one piece armor sets look as though you can definitely put more armor over top but apparently you can't..

I've only just scraped the surface of Fallout 4 . That's after almost two days worth of gameplay. I've covered the basics and engaged with the fundamentals, yet I still have a lot of ground to cover. I'm still surprised by what I find and who I meet.

+ Exactly what Fallout fans crave, + Dynamic V.A.T.S; is a welcomed evolution, + Perks system is varied and deep, + Mods

- Presentation issues: mission bugs; framerate breakdowns; - Lacks accessibility for those new to the franchise

As a series with a robust history, Fallout likely needs no introduction. Focused on surviving a world brought to ruin in the wake of global thermonuclear war the player must make use of every resource at their disposal to build weapons, armor, and anything else they may need to survive.
