    I'm fully immersed into the fallout world, everything is so genuine, every character and every story is so intriguing just like Fallout 3. Only flaw is that some side quests are similar and only wish is let next fallout release as soon as possible!

    Quick background on me the reviewer, I tend to like single player games that is heavy on narrative the most. I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s rarer for me to get into a multiplayer game.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (8) Very Good. Innovative, but perhaps not the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguably so.

    Who knew exploring a radioactive wasteland can be fun. The Fallout series continues to do a great job with notable companions and NPCs. Just wish they didn't throw camp building and sanctuary missions at you constantly and that the story is arc isn't foreseen from the start. First person shooting has been improved to compared to previous entries of the series, but still could use some work. I also wish there were tough choices to make like previous Fallout games. Now we have a better looking waste land to explore while we wait for the next one.

    The game still runs poorly but the content and mod support is what saves it for me.
    It feels like it's a step down from Skyrim in terms of optimization. There are some mods that can address some of these issues, but not all.

    I also don't feel as excited to explore as much I as did in previous Bethesda games. For me personally, the empty and dead wasteland isn't an appealing thing to explore. My sense of wonder is gone and I stick to quests and maybe some settlement building to have fun. Whereas with previous BGS titles, I could mess around the world doing anything and still have fun. Hours could go by and I wouldn't have done a single quest, I'd just be exploring and finding whatever shenanigans I could get myself into.

    All in all, I would recommend this game but I would recommend getting it on PC. Just so you have full access to any mods like in Nexus mods, and not limited to the select mods that Bethesda has greenlit through creation club on consoles. I would be hesitant to recommend this title in it's vanilla form.

    2nd best Fallout game because the choices are very limited and there are many game breaking bugs like an NPC just doesnt talks to you in a quest and you cant finish that quest. Other than that the game is very above an average game and made improvements in every way to Fallout 3.

    This game brings the core elements from New Vegas and Fallout 3, but it takes the game in a completely new direction with the addition of the settlement building system. The mods alongside the settlement system result this game being the best overall Fallout game of the series.

    I stopped using the best version the Steam version after (IMO) Valve started selling borderline pedo sex games. Just using the PC M$ Game Pass version and it has a a weird gas can exploding bug that tanks the FPS to freeze frame (until the map and/or cells reset over a period of game days). Community modder made a hot fix. So thankfully I play the M$ version as good as Steam version now

    Fun shooter, looter, explorer, crafter, base builder game. When the story and missions get old all you got left is the local and gameplay anyway. The main story did give me some feels though. A person out of time who had lost so much on so many levels. Anyone married and/or with kids should be able to relate for sure. Weakest part is the exploration and local. FO3 is still king in both of those departments over FO4 (and FNV).

    Currently playing the M$ version on the M$ client. I ended up earning points which I transfered into vouchers to buy games two thirds way into run of FO4. Just by playing FO4 I got TEW and Deathwing both wiith all the DLC. Yeah M$ version is so best version lol.

    My favourite Fallout game to date.

    Why? Because I can basically make whatever experience I want with this game. Survival? Check. Shooter? Check. Base Builder? Check.

    It's not even that buggy, especially with the amazing modding community fixing stuff Bethesda can't be bothered to.

    Is it perfect? No. Is it fun? Yes.

    Many fans of the series don't like Fallout 4. I've never been a fan of the series and I don't share their position. For me this game is a kind of action-adventure game with RPG elements, it is addictive in its gameplay. Bethesda knows how to make worlds that you want to explore, so periodically I check this game out. I've already played over 100 hours, and it's still fun to explore this world.

    After going through ALL the parts of the fallout, it doesn't look as good as before the prequels. Honestly, despite...there is no variation in the game in the shooter plan is very good, the characters are both interesting and very boring. Personally, I like to just explore the locations here, they are really worked out and you see the history of the population before and after the war.After going through ALL the parts of the fallout, it doesn't look as good as before the prequels.

    + VATS is much better compared to 3 & New Vegas. The time not stopping may take away some strategy, but it adds a lot more stress to an encounter as you don't have all the time in the world to target a person/body part.
    + The game, at least compared to previous titles, has an amazing world in terms of things like immersion. Exploring feels rewarding in this game.
    + Gameplay is just a major step up from previous titles.

    - The main issue is the story, and how you really define RPG. For the most part, if you want to categorise this game, then it's safer to call it an RPG rather than something like a first person shooter. However, while this game does have large decisions for the player to make, it's somewhat lacking for the smaller ones that you'd find in previous titles, or even in other RPGs like The Witcher 3.
    - Also weapon variety.

    You could always go deeper, but it's not really worth it for this type of review. I definitely shouldn't be giving this a 10, but I hate the way the majority of people rate games on these sites. They either give it something extremely low, or a 10. No way in hell is this game lower than a 6 or a 10. It's at least a 7, and I'm not gonna budge. I'm only giving this a 10 because I'd rather iron out the reviews.

    Bethesda has promised mods for consoles in the near future, but they should have had it at launch. Also, imo they should have had a DLC prepared for the end of December. If you have a PC, get this and get it now. If you have a console you are only going to get a fraction of the experience.

The game also brings the usual hallmarks of the franchise such as plot twists galore, charming companions and many ethical dilemmas to contend with, all brought to life thanks to a sensational soundtrack by Inon Zur and excellent voice acting.

    The game has its flaws though: the game might be not an innovative enough leap for some and the dated graphics, audio bugs and a crummy UI don’t help. The game is also very grindy thanks to radiant quests, the constant need for ammo and an overreliance on crafting.

    Overall though, if you’re a fan of the world of Fallout and you enjoyed Fallout 3 there’s a good chance you’ll like this one too. There’s definitely a lot to do and a lot to like about this game which is why I'm recommending it if you want a post-apocalyptic RPG fix.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Things I enjoyed about Fallout 4:
    - The gun play is the best of the entire series.
    - The power armor system is incredible, it actually makes you feel like a two legged tank.
    - Chems are way more useful than before.
    - Building a settlement is actually fun.
    - The graphics
    - The armor system.

    Things I disliked about fallout 4:
    - The skill points system being removed, alongside other very fun features from both Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.
    - The main antagonist faction lacks an actual goal, they're just evil and replacing people with robots and turning them into mutants because why the hell not.
    - Capital Wasteland BOS shows up but there is absolutely no mention of the Lone Wanderer.
    - The main story is decent at best.
    - Have I mentioned the lack of proper RPG features compared to the classic Fallouts or even New Vegas?
    - Another settlement needs our help.
    - Bethesda bugs.

    The game is still fun, don't get me wrong, but it could have been so much better in both gameplay and story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

    Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

    But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Bethesda tries to learn from Obsidian Enterainment and create Mortal engines of Philip Reeve"

    Well, this Fallout is full of something good in its atmosphere. Yes, its still a post-apocalypse game. Its world still look destructed and damaged as it should be.

    1) Combat - F4 is not Escape from Tarkov. However, its drastically much realistic then previous Fallouts. Yes i cant play F1-2 because its combat system thats is even not a 1/10 arrow in the knee.

    The best thing - if you come to medium size raiders base without power-armor or consistent standard armor, you're 50% dead. Thats just awesome, awesome as uncensored. Even New Vegas was not so real. In F3 and FNV you was able to kick back of most of the enemies by low-level rifle without serios gear.

    2) Storyline, Characters, Factions, Atmosphere, etc - time to time F4 is 75-85% of New Vegas quality. Bethesda learned from Obsidian. I appreciate it and respect Bethesda and Obsidian. Previously, Fallout 3 was a kindergarten for 10 year children. Seriously, i was not able to play F3 because of too childish atmosphere. Meanwhile i love New Vegas. New Vegas is one of the best RPG.

    The F4 atmosphere is about something like Philip Reeve books. Fallout 4 dont make me nervous as "The 100" able to do, but its still interestiing. On the contrary, finally, its made me relax. Im calm after i turn off the game and thats drastically great. There is still intrigue, still interesting persons like Piper, Vadim or Deacon, but no fear that "Kate will die because of the dangerous crazy raider/supermutant with sledgehammer"

    Why? Because we are normal persons. We will find two T60/combat armor, then prepare it, buy few Miniguns. Then solve the problems as normal people, not like the drama queens that are diyng just because author need more dolbannaya drama in each chapter of the story.

    3) What is realy bad - "a two mates was traveling from one town to another. In few hours they met deathclaws, rust devils, mechanist's robots, mercenaries, raiders, other mutants, then they find the serios lack of ammo. Their armor were smashed to dust.". Im tired of this. Thats just... economically and demographically unjustified.

    How many raiders were born? Where is all thoose farms that are able to feed the hordes of criminals? How many deathclaw eggs were born? How many robots were made by mechanist? F4 is not a wasteland, F4 is endless Verdun meat grinder - where is all thoose industry plants that are made the divisions of enemies? Im tired of killing this poor guys that i met on the Commonwealth roads.

    Fallout New Vegas was much more real than F4 in case of economics and demography.

    4) Dialoge system is normal. There was not a very rich dialoge trees in F3/NV, so... mods are solve the problems with pre-view of your words. Its fine

    5) In my opinion its good game as for 21 years old me, as for my future kids. I will show them F4, yes. meanwhile, i will never recommend them that... Call of Duty and other facepalm games

    TOTAL: I love Fallout 4, but - only 8/10 is fair
    What Penalties:
    -1 because of economics, demography
    -1 to be honest, there is something that should be more serious in post-apocalypse. Bethesda may create a very good games if they will continue follow for Obsidian

    + story
    + characters
    + dialogue options with big consequences
    .....

    - quite buged few years after release, but thats not big problem I think
    - not in game graphics settings

    I constantly make the argument that 10's and 0's should be saved for special games. I am sort of breaking that rule at the moment, I think this game is a solid 8. Maybe a 9. But the fact of the matter is that I can't really think of a 10 in this brand of game.

    Most people I see giving it lower scores cry about NV or 3. (Both great games) But then their arguments fall apart, NV and 3

    FO4 on the other hand.. It's gunplay is some of the best I can find, even is full out FPS's. The leveling is different but good. The settlement building is good. The STORYLINE IS GOOD! People who say it is not don't know what storyline is, they confused story and writing, because Yes the Writting is kind of lackluster... The Storyline in NV was garbage but had fantastic writing.

    FO4 is a solid 8 maybe 9, but nothing I have put this must time into can't get a 1 point bump out of me.

    exceptional rpg fps combination. fallout 4 progressed the series adding significant strategic/tactical and managerial options. from an rpg standpoint, very good story and character creation. as an fps very good physics and weapon detail. leaving the turn based genre, which probably pissed of plenty of fans, fallout 4 evolved to the game we imagined back in the day when we played fallout 2

    Very enjoyable open world game, but it lacks the rpg mechanics that made the other fallouts so good. The main and side quests are good enough to encourage exploration, and the weapons are satisfying to use. It is really good if you look at it from a survival game perspective.

    Normally, I like to finish/win a game before I write a review, but 100+ hours already, and I show no signs of slowing down. War never changes, but neither does my enjoyment of the Fallout game series. Here are some points of the game as I see it.

    -This game has a very enjoyable storyline, side stories and everything we already know about Fallout games, as well as an interesting romance
    Normally, I like to finish/win a game before I write a review, but 100+ hours already, and I show no signs of slowing down. War never changes, but neither does my enjoyment of the Fallout game series. Here are some points of the game as I see it.

    -This game has a very enjoyable storyline, side stories and everything we already know about Fallout games, as well as an interesting romance delivery, though not anything to write home about, aside from the enjoyment to get to know your companions. They are all enjoyable. You can easily get lost in side stories and find yourself forgetting where you left off on the main story, by choice.

    -The radio seems annoying at first, but gets better as you go. However, the companions are a huge step up, more involved, more interesting, and I already liked the previous. Each companion is worth taking around for a time, just to enjoy their personally stories and comments, so, do not linger on one companion for too long.

    -The crafting system in this game is very simple, and yet, it has tedious complexities. You have many options, but holding onto old mods for the next weapon has yet to prove useful.
    -This is the first Fallout that introduces settlements, and despite the issues, I enjoy it very much. You can setup turrets, alarms, traps, and even arm and armor your settlers. This part of the game is completely optional, but I am thoroughly enjoying it.

    With so many positive things of the game, it is important to know the negative too.

    -Save often. I run on a beast of a pc. As such, I have very limited issues, from what I have read of some others experiencing. However, I have crashed twice, both times losing anything done from the last manual save. The auto save seems to be lost, or so it was on mine. I only lost about 10 minutes, as I save about every 15 minutes or sooner.

    -Settlement building can being very frustrating at first, but with patience it is not so bad. It really depends on how much time you want to sink into it. I have seen many that go crazy and create cities instead, and I have seen some that just make a shack. I am in the middle somewhere, though I might find myself expanding on the settlement later.
    Myth busting negative reviews and comments that I have seen.

    -Stealth is not broken. I have seen one even post a video to prove it, and he was crouched but still running, not walking. Without points put into your skill for that, running crouched is easily detected. I use this often to get them to come around the corner and pop them off into a trap, or wander into my mines. Stealth works great when you use it properly.

    -Items will not stay where you put them. Not sure if this was fixed in a patch or not, but as long as you place the items, junk or trophies, while in settler building mode (hold down 'V' to enter this) then those items do not fall through the floor or get lost. If you do not use this method, it is a mess.

    -You need a lot of power to use a lot of lights. This is one a friend told me and showed me a guide on. You do not need anything more than access to power to power anything that does not have a number next to the lightning bolt. If it requires and uses your max limit of power from your generators in your settlements, then it will have a number showing how much it will consume to be active.

    -The game is too easy. Put the game on a much harder difficulty, play survival mode, do not cheat. I haven't found the game overly easy by any means.

    Overall, this game is definitely worth the price, and I do recommend the season pass, however, getting it on sale is of course the best of choices.

    The game play and the way the world carries you through various aspects of a wasteland were dead on 10/10 in that regard, I enjoyed and still enjoy the game after probably 500 hours.
    Combat is fun and many of the characters are interesting.....the ending just about ruined my experience my first

    Even though I still consider this in my top 10 list games as far as fun and replay value is concerned, the story alone couldnt carry this title, it is not so bad until you actually start to finish the main story, thankfully I have an imagination and play the game and simply dont finish, creating my own ending in my head. The combat, weapons, and the atmosphere are top notch, these days, this game is my favorite to just pick up and play.

    What hurts the most, is that Bethesda don't seem to give a crap about any of the faults and have grifted by on the love of the fan-base and it is getting tiresome.

    If you are looking for an deep role playing experience like from the previous Fallout titles then this one doesn't deliver. But what it does deliver is an solid FPS experience. So newcomers to the series can enjoy. But it does not have the same replay value that the past games managed to deliver in an single player setting. The game truly feels like they dropped the production at some point.

    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]
