    It has undermined most of the elements that make up the game's fun. Only a few struggling aspects manage to barely hold the game together.

    Fallout 4 was an improvement over 3 and a step up from New Vegas, but that was in graphics and systems.
    As an open world, it's a step backwards from New Vegas and less than 3 in terms of immersion. Of course, the game isn't without its fun

    Fallout 4 has a lot of technical issues, the fact that they didn't make the Protagonist an android( or at least openly) alone took a whole point out of my score... Squandered opportunity, this game could have been great...

    It's even worse than Fallout 3 in some ways and I still haven't managed to finish it in years. So I don't think very good things about this game. If I manage to finish it, maybe I will change my review later.

    ---{ Story }---
    The main story did not grip me. In the first 10 minutes of the game, your baby gets kidnapped, and your spouse is murdered. There is no time to develop a connection to these characters, the whole thing feels awkward, and forced, and i don't understand why i should care about these people. The extent of your opportunity to bond with your family boils down to getting chatted    ---{ Story }---
    The main story did not grip me. In the first 10 minutes of the game, your baby gets kidnapped, and your spouse is murdered. There is no time to develop a connection to these characters, the whole thing feels awkward, and forced, and i don't understand why i should care about these people. The extent of your opportunity to bond with your family boils down to getting chatted up by your spouse during character creation, and poking your baby to stop him crying. You adopt a dog shortly after venturing into the world, and honestly, i care more about this abandoned german shepherd than i do the baby. I cannot stress enough the shallowness of these interactions. You meet some more people later who seem a little more interesting.

    ---{ Gameplay }---
    Solid, many improvements over FO3. Gunplay makes a bit more sense in the FPS era. I love the weapon customisation and the improvised feel of so many elements in this game. The way power armour is used in this game is so much better than in any previous, it functions a bit more like a vehicle, it's super creative. The perk system is a bit weird, but does make sense for Fallouts migration from RPG to action-RPG

    ---{ Graphics }---
    Graphics are fantastic. The visual design of everything is spot on, with the only caveat being that it's a little too colourful.

    ---{ Audio }---
    The sound design is excellent. The voice acting is mostly spot on. Your characters dialogue is pretty decent, some other characters less so, but the robots easily steal the show. The music is pretty good, although not on the same level as New Vegas.

    ---{ Difficulty }---
    It's too easy on easy, but just tedious on higher difficulties (enemies become bullet-sponges). Survival difficulty is a very creative addition, and i recommend trying it at least once.

    ---{ Grind }---
    This game can be very grindy, but it's not necessary for completion.

    ---{ Bugs }---
    I've had one crash in 2 hours of gameplay. Could be a lack of hardware, could be a mod, could be a bug in the game. All are equally likely.
    Frame-rate tanks in some areas of the game world.

    - Abysmal open-world programming. The developer just wasn't paying enough attention. They do have in mind how they want you to play, so if you don't follow their expectation, you'll get hilarious bugs.

    I hoped that they would remake this game, but given that it's Bethesda, they would only break this game. So never mind.    … Expand

    This could be a good game if it wasn't called "Fallout".

    Both "Fallout 3" and "Skyrim" are great games. "Fallout 4" doesn't have anything in common but the bad Engine.

    It's not bad, definitely in improvement in gunplay and graphics but it really falls in the department of story, dialogue, characters and choices... and these are the things that I generally look for in these games. The humour of Fallout became a bit too low brow/silly, or maybe it's just the main character who feels like an absolute dingleberry... either way, something is off here.It's not bad, definitely in improvement in gunplay and graphics but it really falls in the department of story, dialogue, characters and choices... and these are the things that I generally look for in these games.

The requirement to kill all the other factions if you side with one is really annoying and some kind of mechanic where you could make them coexist would have been a lot better.

    Fallout 4 has one of the worst plots in all AAA games i've played in. But brightness of this game is ability to be a sandbox. Modders saved this game and despite bad plot, a lot of mediocre characters i would rate it as 7/10 because of it's fun to play with mods.

    The lore-breaking T60 armor, the watered-down speech wheel, and dialogue as a whole along with the gun models that break basic rules of physics certainly don't help either. The graphics are horrible as to be expected from Bethesda. The settlement mechanic while not perfect, was a nice breath of fresh air however and the Far Harbor DLC was quite well done all things considered.

    Fallout 4 is not a terrible game, but its far from great. The graphics was very outdated even for 2015, shooting is a little annoying too. Animations are again one of the worst in the industry. The plot actually got me hooked on, but at the same time its not the best story. All in all, I would say its a 6-7/10. Playable but could be some much better.

    This is a good game that you first play and enjoy the atmosphere of the map. There are both pros and cons. But do not forget that an unnecessary Sims element was brought in, which not interesting for me, because I came to play fallout.

    Pluses: 1) Grafon. If we compare the 3 part and 4, then the difference is heaven and earth.

But do not forget that an unnecessary Sims element was brought in, which not interesting for me, because I came to play fallout.

    Pluses:
    1) Grafon. If we compare the 3 part and 4, then the difference is heaven and earth. Well, if you compare it with the Witcher, then yes, there are gaps in the graphics, but you can’t compare the cards. In this map you will not find grasses and trees in 90% of cases. This is a depressing post-apocalyptic place, not a walk in the woods.
    2) Change in pumping. Now you do not need to pump each skill up to 100 points in order to master one ability. Now you can see what skill is needed for your passage.
    3) Mini-bosses. Previously, there were only story bosses, and then in the third part they did not differ from ordinary mobs. Now they exist, are separately marked with an asterisk and give a pretty good item after killing, whether it be a weapon or armor. They are not easy to kill, as if you are trying to destroy the death claw (more on that later), and it's interesting.

    Minuses:
    1) Sims. This is an optional matter, okay 1 time I will do a mission with "sims". You can ignore one minetman with terribly annoying missions with the liberation of the territory. But, just walking around, you see a small town with enemies and you think "Hmm, I'm not averse to farming." Killed the cheliks, took the loot and you see this red bandura. And God forbid that you press on him and this town is yours. And what to do with it? Well, yes, you can quit, but the place for farming is shrinking and you want to shoot. There is with 1 mission with a town of inhabitants. Complete the sidequest on 1 of the endings and you will get the city. WHY DO I DO THIS? AND WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH IT? I DON'T WANT TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE MUHOSRANSK.
    2) NPS. There are well-designed mobs, and there are dumb ones. Deathclaw is no exception. DEATH CLAW. THE MOST TOUGHEST MOB IN THE GAME, EVEN THE BOSSES CANNOT BE COMPARED TO IT. And he is afraid of water... That's real. Climbed into the river and he lost you. Okay, in a closet in which he does not crawl. This is still understandable. But water...

    What ruins the game
    The biggest thing that ruins this game are the bugs. Every Bethesda game has them, but for a game that was in development for 7 years AND has been out for 5 years (that's 12 years total we're talking), it is still riddled with game-breaking bugs.
    I have had to restart many, many times because of game-breaking bugs that can occur without you even noticing until you've already put in tens of hours.

    What it does right
    If there's one thing in Fallout 4 I personally found worthwhile, it'd be the settlement system. I really enjoyed the base-building mechanics and occasional raids. It reminds me of those old tower defense flash games I used to play on Armorgames.
    On top of that, I also think Fallout 4 has the best weapon/armor customization I've ever seen in a game.

    It has it's fun moments here and there, but the bugs and tediousness cannot be ignored.    … Expand

    I am not surprised by the average users' reviews. The game lack of depth compare to Fallout 3. Bethesda has been trying to create a cash machine out of the game. Half of the add-ons are just a rip-off (should have been included in the base game).

    The game is very linear in the story, and very unbalanced. Once you get a power armor and good gun, you will finish the game very quickly.    I am not surprised by the average users' reviews.

    This fell short of the previous Fallout games - It wasn't a big step forward for the serious instead it felt like a less Open world and more of a linear story ride along. The decision making from Previous Fallouts felt minimized. Still fun to play, it just didn't keep me in the universe for very long. I was hoping by this time we could play a multiplayer Fallout

Ripped of the voiced protagonist from mass effect. It ripped off minecraft building system and did it worst and there is no unique dialogue no matter what you choose you get the same generic response. Not to mention the tutorial for the settlement building is garbage and the game constantly forces you to build settlements which isn't fun.

    This is a solid game all around, yes it isn't as good as Skyrim for a number of reasons;

    --Too many boring go clear a building quests
    --Locations reused multiple times
    --Uglier terrain
    --Nameless NPCs to 'flesh out' cities
    --Lack of location variety
    --Obvious copy and pasted areas
    --More bland infinitely generated quests

    But it does come with a bunch of upgrades

    --you don't have to level up a perk to unlock a perk, you are free as long as you meet the level requirement for that stat
    --you don't have to go into a menu to loot containers and bodies
    --your followers all have their own backstories, and as they get to like you they reveal a little bit of it here and there, until they ask you to go on a quest with them!
    --completing said follower quest unlocks a perk
    --there are multiple factions that actually oppose each other, you can't just join them all

    There are also times it seems Bethesda didn't care about the game. When you clear out a location to build a settlement, the dead bodies stay there forever, and I am playing in 2021. You'll be addicted and frustrated. It feels so annoying and passive aggressive when they force a random event "kill some people for no real reason" missions to be selected and pop up on your HUD.    … Expand

The design quality on both global and detailed level is very well seen in the construction of lore and different side stories that game told to the player. While NPC's/party members are not exceptionnal and writing is average-good at best, it is still quite attaching, just like one of those TV series having +1000 episodes. Just do not expect it to revolutionise your life.

    It is true that game roleplaying mechanics was terribly simplified with respect to other games in the series, but it does not bother me too much, because of big quantity of other things to do in the game.

    Otherwise I find the game technically successfull (graphics, OST, sound and so on).    … Expand

    If you didn't already know Bethesda didn't understand Fallout, you do now. What do you get if you butcher the dialogue that was so critical to the series, add nothing interesting to the lore, and don't fix most of your mistakes from fallout 3? You get fallout 4. A serviceable shooter in a world with some cool designs, but mostly divorced from what makes Fallout special.

    I have a deep love/hate relationship with this game. As a long time Fallout fan and someone who grew up with the 3rd Fallout game I had high expectations from Fallout 4. While those expectation were not met, Fallout 4 is not a bad game. As time has passed, I've begun to appreciate some of the aspects of the game while also being a bit disappointed about the missed potential of it.

    Pros:    I have a deep love/hate relationship with this game. As a long time Fallout fan and someone who grew up with the 3rd Fallout game I had high expectations from Fallout 4. While those expectation were not met, Fallout 4 is not a bad game. As time has passed, I've begun to appreciate some of the aspects of the game while also being a bit disappointed about the missed potential of it.

    Pros:
    - Gunplay and combat has vastly been improved from other Fallout titles.
    - New settlement system.
    - Perks.
    - Character customization and voice acting.
    - Soundtrack is still same old Fallout.

    Mixed:
    - Quests and story can be hit or miss for some people. Personally I found it bland, while the DLC's offered better quests (Far Harbor).
    - Graphics, some people liked the improvements while other expected more.
    - Companions. While I liked most of the companions, there was some missing character development for most of them and with time they offered nothing but help in combat.
    - Exploration, not bad by any means but can feel a bit empty at times.

    Cons:
    - RPG elements are lacking.
    - Quests or actions no longer have skill point requirements (There was one quest with this feature and that person who worked on that quest worked on the older games).
    - Dialogue option is a joke and offers you false sense of choice.
    - The settlement system is pretty shallow once you get into it (needs more late game stuff).

    Overall, Fallout 4 excels more at being an action shooter instead of a classic action role-playing game. You can put a lot of hours into this game and by no means is it bad. If you are a Fallout fan and loved the older titles, you might have to look past some of the flaws to get more engaged with the game.

    The first time I played FO4, I didn't like it. I put it aside for nearly a year. I didn't think I'd ever play it again. However, after the huge disappointment with FO76, and the Steam Version of FO3 being a broken mess, I decided to give FO4 another chance. Eh... it's...OK. Here's my honest opinion into the Good & Bad points of FO4...

However, after the huge disappointment with FO76, and the Steam Version of FO3 being a broken mess, I decided to give FO4 another chance. Eh... it's...OK. Here's my honest opinion into the Good & Bad points of FO4...

    ------------

    THE GOOD

    No level cap.
    AI intelligence is pretty good.
    Great leveling and perk system.
    Skill books are interesting.
    Pre-War start is epic.
    Nice crafting system.
    Lots of lore reading.
    Dynamic weather system.

    ------------

    THE BAD

    Main Story is complete garbage.
    Exploration is not up to par with FO3.
    Occasional bugs/glitches/crashes.
    Graphics are good, but could be better.
    The DLC (more about that below).
    Repetitive settlement building.
    Companions are stupid; even dogmeat. Best to solo.
    Limited dialogue options and player choices.
    Survival Mode is unbalanced and unrealistic.

    ------------

    My favorite part of the game is the Pre-War start. Having your character in game in 2077 before the bombs fall, and then returning 210 years later in 2287 is EPIC! Seriously, what a great concept and Bethesda executed it beautifully.

    I also love the weather system. Rad storms are no joke. Make sure you carry Rad-X and RadAway.

    More about the DLC.. IMHO, only "Far Harbor" and "Automatron" are worth getting. The others are mediocre at best.

    As many have stated, it's not a "true" Fallout game. It's more of a shooter with RPG elements. Sad.

    The settlement building is really boring, repetitive and tedious. Also, many settlements are forced on you rather you want them or not. But... thank God, you can ignore most of them, and just leave them to their fate.

    The lack of dialogue and players choices through that dialogue is what killed the game for many people. Some of them quests, you have no choice but to accept, and not only that, be a NICE guy/gal.

    As for the story, well... aside from that Epic pre-war start, I didn't really care for an already made family, and then trying to feel sorry for a dead spouse and kidnapped baby. I mean you knew them for what, 5 minutes? The player character should have been single as they were in the previous games. The end game was just horrid. Very disappointing. Not enough options or choices.

    So... Fallout 4 is an OK game, but is certainly not up to par with FO3 or New Vegas. I think a rating of 6 is about right, and is more than generous. Hopefully FO5 will return to its old roots and gives us an epic game. If not, I'd say Fallout is dead. This and 76 has ruined the series. Sad but true. Cheers!    … Expand

    But the gunplay and gun mods are certainly improved and it can be fun at times. And exploring every location and finding all kinds of notes etc finding out more about the world is great as per usual though in this game it just doesnt feel like the world has as many interesting places to explore.

    The vaults of FO3 and FO NV with their messed up backstories that make you feel upset? None of that here. The vaults are generic and their backstories are weak. Disappointing. Whats even more disappointing is the branching endings of the main story line. You choose between 3 factions, all with their own takes on synths. Personally, I didnt really care. Even though your son is involved, you just dont feel compelled to care.

    The engine is terrible, runs like crap and looks even worse Bethesda needs to throw this trash away ASAP.

I never felt like my own villain or hero (removing the karma system is a huge letdown), and the built-in voice acting and dialogue for the main character is largely hollow and uninteresting.

    Settlement building seems out-of-place and distracts from the urgency of an ultimately underwhelming main story. Overall, Fallout 4 chooses to go in a different direction instead of capitalizing on its predecessors' strengths, and what we're left with is just not as strong. That being said, it's a fun game with a lot of memorable moments, and the addicting gameplay of looting, pickpocketing, hacking, and being incredibly empowered in an intriguing wasteland is here.

    its important to remember the core focus is the story, player freedom & the overall ability to Role Play in the game & Fallout NV proves my point as Obsidian used the same engine & graphical assets of Fallout 3 meaning more time is spent on making the main story, its side quests & improving the overall RPG experience all of which was created in just 18 month, but FNV came out buggy & although those bugs were fixed the initial damage was done bringing down review scores, but in the End Fallout NV is remember by most Fallout fans as being better than Fallout 3.

    Now back to Fallout 4 the opposite is true, once the exactment had passed I along with most fans realised the steps backwards, Skills & Perks are merged into one reducing player playstyles, not to mention all too often there aren't multiple ways to solve problems beyond speech check or the use of your guns, settlement building provides a fun way for creating a deeper connection to the world as you build your own home, and you can create settlements each with their own styles if you so wish, though all too often settlements need your babysitting as they seem unable to defend themselves even though you built a wall armed with rocket & laser turrets.

    The addition of a voiced protagonist is a completely unnecessary one, firstly it reduces the players connection to their character and the game world, as lines of dialog are spoken in a way I did not intend for them to be said, in the Vault 88 DLC there's a speech check which I was taking the situation seriously but the voice actor said it like he was joking or being smug this disconnects me from the world reducing my role playing experience as I feel less in control of my character

    Some minor SPOILERS here.
    The core focus of the story is Institute & their Synth, and no where shows just how much of a lack of effort was made to explain and add to the lore than the information surrounding them, it is unclear how Synths are made and function, for a long while I was lead to believe that all Synth have a Synth component (SC) and that was a key part in how they function, but it seem that some synths don't have them leading to speculation that the SC is only in synths that travel to the surface, other speculation includes do synths need to eat, drink, or sleep and just how many bad to good things has the Institute done and its not made clear what their end goal is.

    This when coupled with the cut content some of which was shown the trailers (Combat Zone) show that the game could of done with another 4-6 months to really flesh out the story/lore and indeed correct lore contradictions that are made in the game namely Jet and XO1 power Armor.

    Fallout 4 will go down as the Fallout game of missteps by Bethesda Skill/Perks, Voiced PC, Lore mistakes or full on retcons, lacking features that seem like the logical addtion like a Armor & weapon stand for those settlements you build so you can show off you treasures from the wastes, even after launch features like survival mode were poorly designed, and only catered to the most hardcore players, where as the average player doesn't want to not be able to save whenever they like, or have to take 2x damage from enemy's over the normal difficulty 1x damage, the devs couldn't even get this right.

    Overall Fallout is a fun but ultimately and step backwards in the Bethesda RPG franchise and gives me concern for Elder Scrolls 6 especially when they make games like Fallout 76 that the majority of fans don't want.

    Bethesda need to remember their making games for their millions of fans not the millions on non-fans.    … Expand

    After 200 hrs of playing, my opinion on the game itself is "Ok". Adding mods on PC would introduce much more fun.

    As a Fallout game? Bad. But nonetheless it's not making this game the worst experience in the world.
    Things that i like:
    - Atmosphere
    - Weapon/Armor crafting
    - Gun play and well... game play overall
    Things I do NOT like:
    - Preston
    - Voiced hero and this voice acting
    - Dialogues
    - The story
    Overall. Fallout 4 is a good action game with a RPG elements.

    I am extremely disappointed by Fallout 4. As an avid Fallout fan, I can't help but feel this is the weakest entry yet. While the gunplay and crafting are vastly improved over previous entries, every other system has taken a few steps back. Dialog "choices" hardly exist in the game, quests are linear as can be, side-quests are nearly non-existent (aside from dreaded "fetch" quests), andI am extremely disappointed by Fallout 4.

The new settlement system seems as if it was shoehorned in to appease the emerging demographic of gamers raised on Minecraft.

    Bethesda has stripped down the game elements their core fans want, those being dynamic, player-driven stories, awesome quests, beautiful game worlds, and character development/progression. All of these systems were put on the back burner for things like crafting and settlement management. If Bethesda intends to release another game in the same vein as Fallout 4, I won't be buying it.    … Expand

    As a side note, while I don't defend the developers or the greedy parent company that controls them, I do understand that as with all releases, there was most likely a schedule they had to meet and so compromises were probably made in order to satisfy the powers at be resulting in a decent but not superb game.

    Feels bad. Main storyline pretty much suck. There are just a few sude-story quests, that may be considered interesting. Gameplay mechanics were made very casual and oversimplistic. Dialog options, perks, etc... all suck. DLC , well , you've already guessed it, it suck as well. Even Far Harbor. Wasted time and money. Much better with mods, but ,hey, everything is better with mods

    Not bad looter-shooter, but mediocre rpg and bad successor to Fallout franchise.
    The worst part is that story is very forgattable.

The game has plenty of content but the depth of the content is what is missing. And if you didn't play fallout 3 or fallout New Vegas I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't understand the complaints. The side missions for the most part barring a few fun ones, were repetitive fetch quests or clearing an area. Characters you met used to pop up over and over again, in different creative ways. In fallout 4 you meet a character do a mission or so with them and then their dialog runs out and they just walk around one of your settlements. Like Preston Garvey for example(hardly spoilers, happens within the first few hours of the game), at first you think he'll be a very cool partner as he appoints general of the minutemen a cool seeming questline and faction. Yet in reality he spends most of his time giving you orders and telling you to clean up areas and fix up settlements. A real wasted opportunity I think. And many questlines and factions feel the same way. Everywhere you look in Fallout 4 you see great potential but it just doesn't pan out, almost as if the game was planned to be so much more and wasn't finished. A great example of this is the Ocean. The huge percentage of the map in the game is covered in Ocean, Ocean that literally has practically nothing to do in or on it. Making it feel smaller than Even skyrim in my honest opinion, even it was technically bigger. In the old games you could walk around a city and just talk to random people and find little missions everywhere with so much heart and character in them. Some them felt like long expansive quests, with one quest leading to a whole chain of quests. I can think of so many examples of this.

    In fallout New Vegas you walk into an old ratty casino in the broken down poorer part of Vegas, and you chat with the people inside. And this little casino leads to so many quests. Like one where you track down a hilarious male sex robot to bring guests. The same casino lets you go around and collect money from people who owe it. You can even start a quest where you collect stage entertainers, like a stand up comedian and a guitarist who gives you a gun that plays awesome western dual music when you pull it out. And seriously thats just one little building in a game I played years ago and I remember that clearly. I played maybe 20-30 hours of fallout 4 gave it a real chance, and it's just not memorable like its predecessors were.

    I could go on and on and on honestly about all the ways that this game just isn't that good. For instance one thing that I really don't like that some of my friends do is the new level up system. I think its boring as you have to spend perk points on normal skills like weapon damage. In the old games your normal stats were separate from your special perks. YOu always got skill points. And your perk points were dedicated to special abilities. In this game they combined the systems. Leveling up in fallout used to be very fun to me, but I found this new system very boring, bringing an "oh wow another single perk to put into rifle damage *sarcastic yay*". And again just another small factor that made me dislike this game. I know Bethesda I know how awesome their games can be because I've played them, Oblivion(though was too young to be good at/finish it, Skyrim, fallout 3, fallout New Vegas( My personal fav). And thats why I give this a 4/10 because its a bethesda 4/10, below average for what they are capable.

    I think that they were trying to balance this game for both the casual audience and the hardcore gamer. While the out fallouts were more for the hardcore gamer. Usually I would be on the casual end, but the quality of old bethesda were so good that I played them like a hardcore gamer, and spent many hours in them something very rare for me.

    Without considering the games that came before it I would have given fallout 4 a 7 or 8 out of 10, but that would have been for a new game in a new series. Because you give a series leeway when its just starting out. But I honestly feel that Fallout 3 and New Vegas are better games than this.

    Long Story short if you don't have experience with previous fallouts you'll probably like it but eventually you'll get bored and move on. And I suggest that you give the old games a shot if you ever have the time to sit down and play em. So to clarify not a bad game and on some levels its a good game. There are good things about it and I could list those as well. But I can't in good honestly recommend this game full heartedly to gamers, because I just think there are better things to spend your time and money on.

    Hopefully I wasn't too harsh, and this in combination with other reviews gave you a good idea of what to expect with Fallout 4. Thanks for reading.    … Expand

    After playing the outer worlds I just cant help but feel this games story and world building is very 2 dimensional. How is it that obsidian can make a game and story from scratch, with a smaller team and still make a better game than any fallout game bethesda ever made. Also with very few bugs might I add.

    After terrible first couple of hours Fallout 4 pulled itself together and ultimately was almost as fun as The Witcher 3. There’s a huge chasm between these two games in terms of technology (F4 looks like a X360 game), but their open worlds are equally good and Bethesda did a better job with crafting. [01/2016, p.42]

    This isn’t the step forward I expected, though. Here we are, the first Bethesda game on a new hardware generation, and I can’t help feeling like we’ve regressed—like Fallout 4 really is Oblivion-with-guns. A decade later, it certainly makes many of the same mistakes.

    It’s easy to get carried away by Fallout 4’s massive open world. While the gunplay is much improved and the quests fun, I found the UI lacking on the PC. The inventory and build menus are really tedious to use. [Dec 2015]
