    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    … Expand

Fallout 4 is little more like Minecraft, gathering resources, building, customizing armor, weapons, large amount of freedom and own targets/playstyle, sandbox. There is huge amount of features that cant be compared with other games. Only badly designed Fallout 76 and great Skyrim are close. Fallout universum is also unique. 70' vintage style, caps, nuka cola,... Lot of games have not so complete unique style/universum ideas and lot of things are not like Elden Ring/jRpg random mix named "Art Masterpiece"… Expand

I really do not get why people still think that Fallout New Vegas is the better game? I played that and it sucks balls. The FO New Vegas controls are clunky you cannot sprint or run and cannot craft as many things. Combat is far better in the FO 4 game compared to FO3 and NV. In fact playing FO New Vegas recently for comparison makes me cringe at how bad the older FO games really are compared to FO 4. Hopefully FO 5 is even better!… Expand

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.    … Expand

    Game stole mechanical and too many elements from Skyrim and you can feel resemblance with this one by far. Stealing all this, has been stolen the immersion and giant map (even bigger than Skyrim) too, what makes game funny and full of things to do. Not forgetting vintage-modern-dirty game's visual that makes game even more interesting.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

The added things you can also get with mods really bump the game up. If there was no support for mods and I could only play the vanilla version, then this would be a 6/10 maybe a light 7.

    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.    … Expand

    I'm a Fallout fan: New Vegas, but this part is also very good. The graphics are still nice, but it lacks the atmosphere of New Vegas.

    Nice graphics and gameplay. The story was a bit weird but it was still nice. Didn't know it was RPG when I first got it but fell in love with the genre ever since I played this game, same goes for the music on the radio. Can't wait to try the mods.

    All time favorite game. Bethesda knows what they are doing and have created the most believable game world I have ever played in.

    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!

    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]
