    This is not RPG, this is bad writing and cringe characters simulator. Yeah, 10/10 here no doubts. Graphics weak, all characters look the same, story whacks original lore. Few good things in this game: crafting system and shooting mechanics. That's all.

    Addicting base building and weapon customization however, just a bland story and a world filled with bland characters. This game is more a framework of a game made to be polished by mods, and it still runs on the same buggy engine with un-patched bugs from previous games.

    would have been 6.5/10 if it were just some random game, but my score is to warn you that you wont enjoy this game if you bought it to play an RPG with choices. FO4 is the DragonAge2 of Fallout Games. it is supposed to be a better version of all previous Fallout games, and the only thing it did better was actual combat.

Sadly every other aspect of previous Fallout games (dialogue, choices, skills/perks, characters depth, weapons) is either severely degraded or completely removed.

    just another brick in Bethesda's wall of "over-simplifying games in hope of attracting more buyers", which does not seem to be working as well as they hoped. bethesda did not even learn from FO4, they actually released the worst game of the year (Fallout 76) and added very greedy anti-consumer features into it.    … Expand

    This was not good at all, maybe I need to retry but I just can't see myself do that in some years or so. Combat was boring, characters was bad and I did not care enough.

    To me, this game is the definition of a bad game that's fun. It's so unfinished but I still enjoyed it, definitely doesn't feel like a Fallout game. Hopefully Bethesda is able to someday return to their former glory.

    After years, this game is still too enjoyable. With mods, graphics looks very cool. If you start it to just try, you may not like. Start to enjoy it, not just play. Make it your own game.

    This isn't like previous fallout games, its not much of an RPG. Nonetheless, it has a pretty good open world setting and a decent story, and i spent a lot of time playing this. However, many of the quests are repetitive (Read Preston) and grindy. Mixed bag.

    This game was garbage. I couldn't even get half way through the main quest before quitting permanently. What little good that was left in the older Fallout games was gutted.

    Fallout 4 is a bad Fallout game and it not that good of a game in general. Fallout 4 is mostly a FPS game with a few RPG mechanics. the game have a lot of bugs. I don't like that there's no level cap.

    Thank God that Bethesda has updated the engine and the graphics have become much better. The plot is not bad, the endings are different, but they are made with soul. I like the mode of any pumping, repairing weapons and armor, and you can also build objects from all kinds of garbage.
    Dialogues are terrible done

    It is a good game. To play if you love the fallout nuclear and apocalyptic scenario. The gameplay is funny but missions are repetitive and the lore is not good as the one from Fallout 3 or Fallout new Vegas. Great character creations mechanic, bad crafting.

    Seamless, jaw-dropping environments, engaging combat, and a slew of new features such as weapon crafting add considerably to the Fallout experience.

    Unfortunately, I never really felt like I was playing a meaningful, developing character influencing the world around him. This version of Fallout strips out what I enjoy about the game most: the RPG elements. 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. Even after utilizing mods to make the dialogue choices mimic Fallout 3, the whole experience seemed impersonal and boring.

    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.

    Overall, though - Fallout 4 is an extremely disappointing way to follow up two phenomenal games.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love fallout, all of them, and sadly 4 is my least favorite, it's not by dar a bad game it's a good game but the only thing that reminds you of fallout is the lore and some weapons. The game scraps a lot of features that defined fallout being the more notable the fact that our protagonist speaks and he has already a background. Courier 6 has a background but it's one you discover while playing and it's enough that you get and idea of his past but no who he is, bc in NV you are the courier and you decide who is the courier, that can't be said about NATE/NORA bc whe alredady now they are a Housband/Wife from before the bombs fall who lived almost all theyre lives without nedding to survive or make hard decisions, that already tons down the role possibilities but when in top of that, the dialogue is a joke, we don't now what the protagonist is gonna say bc we only have 4 options that are always: Sarcastic, Agrresive, Question, Affable. To add to the problem of this game the story is really meh, in the new factions we have the Minutemen or well A Minutemen Preston you can at least decide if you want to help him regroup the minute men. The railway has more importance in this game wich is really cool and we finally see the institue : D. And it's really lame sadly, you can predict whats gonna happen the moment you enter Diamond city, i really didn't care about Shaun but even if i didn't care about him Nate/Nora does and that was a role killing feature really. Its really funny seeing how Fallout 76 has a more interesting questiine thanks to Wastelanders. Next time whe see a fallout, probably in 2028? or even more i hope they learn from what works in the old fallout games, and take some things from the new ones, but definetly please don't repeat this mess.… Expand

    It's absolute garbage, what Bethesda has done over the past years is pretty known all across the board.
    How could you ever imagine a Fallout game heavy on the FPS action when the shooting was always It's weakest part. Waste of time.

    Fallout 4 improves combat & visual quality from Fallout 3 & NV, however while for some people the graphics are lacking when compared to games like Witcher 3 its often considered a key negative by fan who miss the main purpose of these games.

    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 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]
