    Amazing combat, great open world, great story, SO MUCH stuff to do, deep customization system for armor, weapons, etc. So many ways to level up your character, the perks system is fantastic and i love the old school theme the game has.

Joining different factions is awesome and keeps the game interesting, power armor is a nice touch. Now the negatives:

    There are still a few bugs in the game, but you can easily get past them, I'd hate to sound like a broken record but the textures and animations are a little outdated compared to other games on the PS4.

    Fallout 4 is simply amazing, especially for someone who has never played a fallout game, i was stunned at simply how much there is to do. Don't listen to the childish trolls who are giving this low scores just because they love to hate, try this out for yourself!    … Expand

It's a very good game to me. Not a 10, but I am not even sure what a game would have to be to get a 10 from me. The graphics are awesome. I loved the color rather than the drab, boring atmosphere of New Vegas. The companions are actually interesting and have personalities. The combat is improved, but vats is still pretty much a necessity about 65% of the time. The ability to reconstruct the wasteland was incredible. It has been over 200 years, time for humanity to start rebuilding. The weapon and armor modding is good.
    Here's what I didn't like. Too much reliances upon the "Charisma" skill tree. You couldn't have settlement stores until your charisma was a 6. Bad movement of your character when placed in a bind. If you get surrounded by enemies, you might as well just wait for game to reload. You're not going to get out of situation. Your decisions don't really seem to impact the world. Now this doesn't too far stray from Bethesda's modus operandi because in Oblivion your decisions meant nothing, in Fallout 3 your decisions meant nothing, in Skyrim your decisions meant nothing, but it's still disappointing. I was hoping for a more Witcheresque decision influence in the game. Haven't seen it thus far.
    With all of this being said, so far, I have still thoroughly enjoyed the game. It MIGHT even be, alongside Witcher 3, a game of the year contender for me.    … Expand

    Bought the game a five hours ago and I'm going to give a 100% honest review about it.

    Fallout 4 is a massive game. In the strategy guide there's roughly 150 quests and I estimate the map is about as big as skyrim's, but there seems to be a higher density of areas to explore with fewer mountains and whatnot in the way to make the map feel bigger than it actually is.

    In comparison to previous Fallouts people keep saying it isn't a big step up. I disagree with them, but I will admit the facial expression are a bit stiff and lip syncing is a tiny bit off. Some people dislike the aesthetics of the game because they went with a much more punchy and bright color pallet rather than just make everything poop brown and puke green like Fallout 3. I actually enjoyed the more colorful environments.

    Looking at the pc specs this game is technically graphically superior to any other game out right now even if some people are saying the graphics are not very good. I honestly thought the graphics looked amazing, but I'm just putting it out there that not everybody shares my opinion and some people think games like Witcher 3 actually have better graphics. Personally, I don't think it should matter all that much because it's really about gameplay, not graphics.

    Gameplay wise what Fallout 4 brings to the table over previous games is a vastly improved combat system, much better balance regarding things like stimpacks and perks, and overall more challenge on higher difficulties. Gun play feels almost exactly like Call of Duty instead of very stiff and clunky like New Vegas. You definitely will feel noticeable improvements on how guns and things handle regarding sight clarity, draw animations, sway, recoil, and smoothness adjusting aim. Movement also feels more in line with Call of Duty. Sprint is in the game and is balanced by taking away action points to use in vats, a great mechanic imo that adds more fluidity and better pacing to everything. In other words you no longer have to worry about slowly plodding from one area to the next making for less overall downtime to deal with.

    What this game offers over Destiny, which probably it's main competition atm is a much more engaging story and much much more content than Destiny could ever hope to deliver. I mean in comparison I finished Destiny including all story missions, all strikes, and the two raids in about 20 hours. The story missions in the vanilla game itself you could easily get through in about 5 hours. Even if all 150 quests take a half hour each you are still talking about 75 hours of content to go through so even the most viscous haters on here would have to admit at minimum this game at least offers a lot in quantity of content even if one could make an argument about the quality of it.

    Sound wise Fallout 4 offers MUCH more voice actors than previous games leading to much more variations in how npcs interact. Games like Elder Scrolls online will recycle the same voice actors. It's not like that in this game. I also enjoyed how gun sounds have much more "oomph" than Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Everything sounded like it really had impact and the blood splatter in response seemed really satisfying. Unfortunately, didn't like the music track in the game so far, but oh well.

    People on here are complaining about very specific nitpicky issues with the game like for instance the facial expression/lip syncing issue, a few specific non game breaking bugs, color aestetics, and blah, blah, blah.

    All I got to say is please examine the facts for yourself. I encourage anybody reading this to just look at the amount of content and all the customization and what you are getting here and then decide based on that rather than some extremely specific little thing somebody is complaining about.

    I assure you this game has a lot of bang to offer for your 60 bucks and well deserves 10/10 in my very honest opinion.    … Expand

It's obvious most of the people leaving 1/10 reviews have not even played the game and are just on a hate campaign against Bethesda for whatever reason.

    The game feels like a vastly improved version of fallout 3, with better character interaction and smoother combat. It's a FPS/RPG hybrid like FO3, but you can tell they decided to take it in a more action-oriented direction. However, statistics are still a big part of the game and you have to plan in advance which perks you want to get or you'll end up with a gimped character. If you enjoyed FO3 or FO NV, you will also enjoy this title. My biggest issue with the game thus far is some minor technical issues, but I'm sure they will be resolved with the next patch. However, I have not encountered any major technical issues or bugs and the game plays smoothly pretty much the entire time.

    I advice everyone to disregard the clearly biased hateful reviews and make up their own mind. If you liked any of the 3D fallout titles, chances are you will fall in love with this latest incarnation as well.    … Expand

The lighting effects are great, the color that was completely absent in previous titles is now vibrant and plentiful while not taking away from the fact that you are in a wasteland. The world itself looks drastically different depending on the time or day and weather, which in previous titles never changed. The gunplay has been improved upon to where if you run out of action points shooting doesn't feel wrong and is actually quite fun. The game world itself is jam packed with things to do around every corner, space has not been wasted here. The crafting system and addition of settlements is receiving less praise than it deserves. Thie entire world truely is a sandbox for you to mold and shape to you're liking, from the story to the actual physical environments. The voice acting is much improved and the fact that your character has a voice in my opinion adds to the level of immersion. Character models are very hit and miss some you can see a significant imrovement while others are just downright bad. The framerate studders quite a bit but overall does not take away from the experience. Overall the technical issues are no worse or better than any of Bethesdas other big titles and as with their other games does not really take away from the experience.… Expand

Many of the things they had previously promised were not included in the final product which kinda sucks. The story can feel dull at times and slow. The fact is that it's basically the same old thing as Fallout 3, just a different story and some new additions thrown in there. The graphics aren't great but they surely aren't terrible. Character's faces can look really ugly at times but everything else seems to be alright. And it's not like Fallout New Vegas was anything spectacular for 2010. The gunplay is very fun and pretty addicting, I have no complaints there, and the crafting system is pretty good (although sometimes it gets annoying when things don't fit into places correctly). Overall it is a good game, and a good addition to the Fallout franchise, but before you buy it you might want to wait until it is patched and up to standards. I don't agree with most of these ratings all at 0, and I know all those people aren't going to agree with me either, but I think the reason all these people are so butthurt about it is because there was way to much hype for this game, and the final product failed to meet that hype. I have been thoroughly enjoying the game so far at about 10 hours in, and the thing is that if you judge the game based of the other Fallout games quality then people will say it sucks, but on it's own, it's pretty good.… Expand

    It is a loooong game. Don't believe any reviews from people on here. Recognize that the game is an upgraded version of Fallout 3. That is, and I feel like an idiot for saying this but I guess people don't understand, that is why there is a 4 at the end. Things have changed, people hate change.

    Special is way better and the perk tree is top notch. There is FPS drop sometimes (I've yet to have it last longer that 1-2 seconds at a time). The graphics are great for PS4. If you can't take the graphics, why are you even playing a console? Get a computer. It will ALWAYS be the best graphical version. You don't have to go to town after every instance to repair your guns and armor...I can't even believe people are griping about that. Yes, there is building in this game. It's not vital as far as I can tell...just something a little extra. I heard someone complain the wasteland doesn't feel ALIVE. Ummm..it's a freaking wasteland? What are you expecting?

    Anyway, so since everyone is playing the game (just check twitch and see the numbers for yourself) it leaves the salty trolls here on Metacritic all by themselves. This was a triple A release and look how many people have taken the time to even rate it on here. The community is dying and only you are left...ironically killing it faster.

    Long story short, is this game the best thing since sliced bread? Not even. Why would you even be looking for that kind of thing in a video game? Is it a great game? Yes.    … Expand

    I only made this review because /v/ is full of idiots. It's obviously not a 4.7/10 game and it deserves a 7/10 at the very least. Because some neckbeards on a popular board want more weeb JRPGs, this game is getting flooded with shill 0/10 reviews, and that's freaking ridiculous.

    Don't get affected by metascores and reviews, this is a game you have to experiment if you are a fan!
    New players might not understand the world, the quests, the characters, the gameplay or the graphics.
    I say this, if you are not a fan of fallout, go and play something else, this game isn't for you.
    It's based of old school ideas and mechanics brought by the devs that accompany this incredible universe.
    It is dedicated to the old school players fan of the series.
    If you are indeed a true fallout and Bethesda fan. By this game now!

    I was so excited and scared. Now i can safely say i am at peace.
    This game brought all i hoped for and even greater elements i didn't expect.
    I personally haven't gotten one bug, you could argue npc stutter and character animations are not that great. But this is a compromise Bethesda makes, because no game, to this day, can beat the freedom of choice, exploration, character advancement and customization quite like Bethesda does.
    They have not bowed down too public opinion. They have proudly stood for their name and i support it 100%.

    The game looks beautiful, the world looks amazingly well handcrafted. Different weather and atmospheres changes ( You have epic fallout storms, getting irradiated from them). The overall feel gives you the chills of the wasteland. Viusally a much closer adaptations of the old school fallout and even the soundtrack is spot on. Really captures the vibe.

    The crafting is a superb element, adding countless hours of sandboxing in the game, and even almost feeling like a trus survival wasteland game. Watching your radiation, building shelter.. Scraping and crafting. It's excellent.
    Charater and creatures animations are much smother, feel real and present. (Deathclaws, supermutants, ghouls, all freaky as hell!!)
    sound effect are then ever.
    And my god, that voice acting!! (Major improvement from past titles!!)

    For me, as a fallout fanatic. A long time Bethesda regular, i give this game a 10/10.
    Of course if you are new and not familiar with Bethesda, you will probably not agree with this rating...

    Fallout 4 is a step back from Fallout 3 in terms of spectacle and ditches some of the mechanics that made its predecessor work so well. But, it's still Fallout and more of the same. It's a fun game for 25 hours or so, but definitely doesn't have the staying power like Fallout 3,4, New Vegas, or Skyrim. Hopefully add on content can add depth to this fully fleshed world

The most amazing, immersive and overwhelming experience she ever had. See the problem is all these people, like me, who have played every entry in the series and hold unrealistic expectations of the new entry.

    You want it to be everything it was, plus completely new and fresh. It's unrealistic. People keep this rabble up because it didn't take enough from Fallout: New Vegas...which wasn't a Bethesda game. I mean, are we just never satisfied? Here is a game with over 400 hours of content, and we are complaining about what it DOESN'T have.

    Okay, enough ranting, based on purely technical stuff this game smashes it out of Fenway park. Graphics are gorgeous although a little plain in some places (but its a nuclear apocalypse so...yeah), the gun play has been vastly improved and the size is immense. The voice acting is some of the best I have ever heard, and main character and NPC animations are on par with Witcher 3 if not better. The cons?

    Some issues with companions getting stuck, and inventory management. With the additional build feature it becomes very difficult to manage your materials. There is a perk/stat that helps this, though depending on your build may not be available for a while.

    Outside of these small issues, the usual NPC hiccup or clipping, nothing outrageous. Come on people, try and lower your standards just a smidge. What came out of Bethesda is yet another rich in lore, moral dilemma of a game ripe with things to find and people to save/slaughter. It is WELL deserving of the Fallout name, and is a welcomed change from less involved open world RPG titles like Dragon Age. Don't let the trolls confuse you, 9/10. Welcome home Bethesda.    … Expand

Having a set character with a voice is really an improvement for the FPS versions of Fallout. Now there is a sense of purpose and ego. The main quest is kind of dry but it is interesting to say the least. All in all, this is a great game... It is a masterpiece.

But, people are constantly putting the game down or rating it a zero are not giving it a fair shake.

I don't care if you're saving up for something else - you NEED this game. This review isn't even required, but I'm going to do it for the uninformed. Let's look into things a little more closely, shall we?

    A:Music/Sounds The    I am so incredibly pleased with this game. The graphics, music, gameplay - everything! If you couldn't tell, I am in love with this game. Go get this game NOW. I don't care if you're saving up for something else - you NEED this game. This review isn't even required, but I'm going to do it for the uninformed. Let's look into things a little more closely, shall we?

    A:Music/Sounds

    The music and sounds in a fallout game never disappoints. It really brings back the old classic songs that everyone loves, while mixing in stunning and beautiful background music. The sounds of swinging a baseball bat, hitting something in the environment - heck, even footsteps are great to hear in this game. They did not disappoint in this aspect. The music is not as good as some games that I have seen and I really didn't notice it much, but that is probably because of just how well it mixes in with the gameplay.

    9/10 WITH my Thumbs Up of Approval

    B: Graphics

    I don't care what anyone else says about the graphics. Don't let their slander sway your opinion on this game. The graphics are superb, have you even taken one good look at the environment? Seriously, the improvement in this game from Fallout 3 and New Vegas is incredible. Sure, there was a 7 year gap between the two but who cares? Who cares if Dogmeat has flat textures on his body? His face doesn't! There are so many things in this game that you can really take in and appreciate. Graphics, are definitely one of them. When the Lone Wanderer interacts with his Pip-Boy, you can really see the dirt in his thumbs. Fantastic graphics, in my opinion.

    9/10

    C: Gameplay

    If I was to say everything about the gameplay in this one review, it would take literally hours of our time. So I'm going to skip ahead to the major parts. Running around and exploring is great in this game. Seeing all of the different sights, landmarks and cities are a major highlight of the game. You'll be walking around peacefully for one second, then BOOM! You get attacked by raiders. You might look up in the sky and think of the amazing weather then BOOM! Some weird radiation storm occurs and then you need to get into shelter to shield yourself. The gunfights in this game are great, and you enjoy having them. Watching people get knocked back from your baseball bat blows is satisfying, and you can just sit back and watch the enemies TRY to hurt you while you're listening to the radio in your power armour. One of the newest and greatest additions to this game is making your own settlement. Find a good plot of land, scrap the random pieces of land around and then build with your materials. You can build huge bases, turrets, stores, farms, skyscrapers and even have people join you. In Fallout 3, I had trouble finding a town that had everything that I needed to survive. In Fallout 4, you BUILD the town that has everything for you to survive. As you build and your land becomes more valuable, Raiders will come and attack you. So, you need to set up Guard Towers, Turrets and Traps to survive. This feature of the game is so incredibly fun, and I have poured 7 hours into building ALONE. The freedom in this game is massive. You find someone who you believe is nice to be around, but has a nice gun? Kill him if you want. Become friends with him if you want. Rob him if you want. Marry him if you want. Become enemies with him if you want. I haven't gone into a lot of aspects of gameplay in this game, but trust me. You won't be disappointed with this. People complain about FPS drops on the PS4 version and frequent crashes, but with my brother and I's combined playtime of around 18 hours, we have not experienced one crash. There are FPS drops, but not as bad as everyone else puts them at. Trust me, you'll love it.

    10/10 WITH my Thumbs Up of Approval

    D: Story

    What story? You make up your own story in this game. That is what makes it so great. Alright, there is a main plot, so I guess I'll tell you that without going into spoiler territory. A Nuclear War has turned the world into a barren wasteland, but you start the game before this happens. You start out as a veteran in the war, and because of this - you have been preselected to enter a vault that will protect you, your wife and your child when this happens. Nuclear bombs start being dropped where you live, so you enter the vault. When you enter the vault, you get frozen for 200 whole years - you then emerge as the lone survivor of Vault 111, in search of your infant child who was kidnapped. Not going to go any further than that. From that point onwards, you make your own story (And if you want, follow the main story) You can become a hero, raider, outlaw, serial killer, thief, mayor, lone wanderer, explorer or a trader. There's more than that, but I can't get into them right now.

    10/10 WITH my Thumbs Up of Approval

    Okay, now for the final verdict. I can't get into any more than this at risk of hitting the character limit. So, my final verdict for Fallout 4 is...

    I would like to address the "complaints" in most reviews.

    1. "This is a simplified, dumbed down version of Fallout 3". Oh really? I wasn't aware that Fallout 3 had incredibly deep weapon crafting systems, scavenging, house building, farming, and settlements. It has everything Fallout 3 had and MUCH more.

    2. "The graphics are bad". Nope, the faces look bad. That's it. The world, environments, and atmosphere are absolutely breathtaking. The fact that they made such a large world have so much detail is an incredible accomplishment. It should also be noted that Bethesda started working on this game in 2009. The faces are 5/10. The rest of the graphics are 9/10.

    3."This isn't an RPG". Really? That's weird. I've never seen a game with multiple individual item characteristics such as damage, damage resistance, weight, rate of fire and whatnot that also includes a deep leveling system with tons of perks, no level cap, and HUNDREDS of quests that WASN'T AN RPG. Absolutely absurd.

    I've played this game for about 4 hours and I absolutely love it so far. These complaints are ridiculous. I will review again when I am deeper into it.

    It's a great game for exploration hampered by a dull story with mediocre graphics and bugs aplenty. As is Bethesda fashion. I prefer the dialogue options in Fallout 3 over the "Bioware wheel" you get in this. Not a fan of the lip sync or facial animations. I guess I just expected more innovation after 7 years. Not a horrible game by any means, but not a technical marvel by any means.It's a great game for exploration hampered by a dull story with mediocre graphics and bugs aplenty. As is Bethesda fashion.

    the game mechanics has been improved along with the perks and leveling up ,without changing a lot of the main core that we loved.
    i am not going to discuss the graphics cause it is perfect for this game , the only downsides are you canny have more than one companion ( like dog meat and another person) and glitches.

Did Halo 5 falling short upset people that now they have to knock down a titan to make it seem balanced? Users shouldn't be allowed to review a game. How is this game a 0? 0 is non-functional. I'm pretty damn sure this game is functional.

    In short: The game is certainly worth the money and your time. It's going to have things that will upset some or make other extremely happy but in general? It's still the fallout you know and love and for people who believe that this game is a 5.4? or a 4.3? Go **** yourself.    … Expand

    On the PS4, I am loving this game. It feels very close to GTA5 in the scale of the sandbox. Whereas GTA5 looks better (maybe read brighter) and has a wider, more complex world, I'm finding the plot and overall atmosphere within Fallout4 much more engrossing, and I've only scratched the surface so far.
    Graphics are good, sound is good, combat is fine - its no Battlefield 4, but VATS helps a lot. It can be disorientating in 1st person view when surrounded by ghouls, or bugs and you've no idea where they are, so there is a lot of frantic back stepping - but you figure out pretty quickly that in the main you are meant to keep these guys at arms length, so sneaking up on them and sniping from a distance to pick them off before they get close is the name of the game. If you think about it this is never meant to be some crazy COD shooter for the kids, the whole ethos of the game is about keeping your head down, being cautious, picking your fights, and getting the jump on enemies when you choose to engage.
    I have barely come across the bugs all the haters are moaning about, just a bit of Dogmeat levitating, but hey ho, it made me smile. And I am assuming these things can be sorted down the line...?
    If you're a fan of the post apocalyptic think (The Walking Dead etc), then you should love this game and I really like Bethesda's 60's/Cyberpunk identity they have stamped on it...
    I was a PS4 1st day buyer and ever since have felt let down by the quality of games (other than BF4, which I am a big fan of)...and this is the first game I have played for a very long time, which makes me ignore the missus who is trying to lure me to bed with a twinkle in her eye, and instead I end up going to bed 3 hours later to find her fast asleep (and quite annoyed with me!).
    And this is from a 36 year old guy who has a great job, missus and a life, and isn't an avid hard core gamer like some...yet Fallout 4 has got its claws into me (and made me write my first ever review!), which is probably the best endorsement there is for the game!

And when I start playing missions and explore the apocalyptic world I said to myself "THIS IS GAME OF THE YEAR CONTENT". Its a beautiful apocalyptic world with amazing loot and the best part that I liked is the Lock Picking and Hacking Computers because it takes technique to open and that makes you feel smart or else it can get really irritated if you stuck.
    With positives there are also negatives, and the negatives of this game is that the constant drop of Frame Rate, Normal Graphics, & No Life in Characters, I mean seriously, all the characters look dead, like they died even before the bombs fell and now all of them are robots.
    I usually focus on the content, story and length of the game. The Apocalyptic content is great, the length of game really deserves the $60 purchase price (BTW I bought it really late so I got it for $30) but the story is really vague. I mean you are looking for your son and by the time progress you forget that the main story is still about your son and not to clean up others mess which you do quite often. And also the end is not even satisfying. Its like they just wanted to make Fallout but they were out of ideas about the Story.

The dialogue response options are really watered down and basic. Most of the time you'll find yourself just pressing X to move forward through the dialogue because you know it's going to be what you'll end up choosing anymore. There aren't any consequences to your decisions other than if you'll end up fighting some NPC's or not. The companion AI is dumb. Like seriously dumb. And as rare as certain types of ammo is you'll never want to equip them with good weapons since any weapon other than their default will require you provide them ammo as well. If you're playing a stealth or sniper build you'll want no companions at all or just Dogmeat, anyone else will draw attention. There should have been an option to command a companion to be aggressive, defensive, hang behind, and stuff like that. Not simply "wait." If I tell them to wait I end up just ignoring them.

    The main story is okay. Not great. I'm far more interested in all the side quests and the people of the world. I find them a lot more interesting and spend most my time engaged in exploration or doing things for the people of this world, putting the main plot quest on hold.

    This game could easily be a 10/10, but because they watered down the RPG element, the dialogue choices, and weak plot, I'm going to have to chop it down to a solid 8/10. This game is my favorite of the Fallout series so far even with the changes they've made. I LOVE that I'm able to play it the way I want as more of a FPS and only using VATS for really critical and complex situations. Previous games were way too VATS heavy. I like the new skills system, I find it far more useful and easy to see and understand. Building my character is easier the way they have it now.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a very fun game to play but at the same time buggy, which I suspect is due to the massive world. It's most fun when you play the side missions and do the endless customization because it really feels like you've made this game your own. But you will reach a certain point in the game when it becomes super repetitive and makes you wonder if this game ever ends. That's when you'll ditch side-missions and do real missions like I did.

    In the end I rushed to finish it because my patience was wearing ice-thin. The ending was just lame considering how I've poured nearly 90 hours into this game. I think that because there are endless approaches to playing this game, no matter how you play it a game still has to end. I think this is why the ending felt so contrived. Well what to expect from a super open-world game like Fallout 4.

    I ended the game sticking to the railroad faction. A small nuke goes off in the distance and that's that. If I return back, brother of steel are my new enemy. I don't mind since I get a powerful railroad rifle in the end to kick the **** out of them. The post-apocalyptic atmosphere is faultless and easily the best aspect of the game. Add on the perk system which truly customizes the gaming experience to my liking, this game deserves an 8.    … Expand

In terms of exploration, this is the best entry in the franchise yet, I've spent at least a few hundred hours now just wandering the wastes with no goal in sight, and always find something interesting too do.

    improves everything fallout 3 and nv does. the graphics aren't very good for 2015, but i don't really mind it. it has a bunch of replay ability and i was never bored playing it. 10/10

    Не слушайте всяких old **** - игра божественна. Приятная графика, Шикарные строительство, крафт, прокачка, генератор персонажа, даже отыгрыш (да, старички пи...ят, он тут есть) - все это имеется в достаточном количестве. Любите качественные песочницы, и вам класть на мнение снобистских додиков - смело покупайте.Не слушайте всяких old **** - игра божественна.

    Не конкурент Fallout: New Vegas, но достойный и самобытный представитель серии для своего поколения, своего времени. Все действия отлично ощущаются, сюжет на уровне, множество дополнительных активностей вроде менеджмента базы и самобытная атмосфера, несколько отличающаяся от других игр серии. 9.8/10.Не конкурент Fallout: New Vegas, но достойный и самобытный представитель серии для своего поколения, своего времени.

    After NV my second favorit Fallout game. I play on Pro with SSD and a ton of mods, and this game looks and sounds great. Gunfight is, for the first time in Fallout history, good. The world is worth exploring and the characters are worth meeting. Nowadays, you get the game for less money than a cup of coffee. So there is no reason not to try it.

    This game is just incredible. The narrative is excellent, the mechanics of crafting / creation is very welcome to the universe of the series. The only flaw is the graphics issue, which Bethesda decided to reinstate the famous Skyrim from a generation ago, with some improvements, but nothing that is visually so discrepant.

    I played fallout when it first came out and I gave it a 7. Starting playing it again with immersion/overhaul mods and it's now the best game I have ever played.

    This game was a lot of fun if you like dystopia games. I wish it didn’t end. I’m not sure why it’s not higher up in the list.

    let me say why is rated so low by players
    so first the game is good and enjoyable.the graphic thing was always a problem in betesda games so we can ignore it
    for story well the story isn't as great as other fallout games like new vegas and that's why most of people are disappointed.but no it's not that bad.the story is like fallout 3 but diffrent in somethings and sometimes i see people    let me say why is rated so low by players

    and sometimes i see people say that there isn't so much weapon in the game
    that's true but instead they added a huge customization options that completely change the weapon
    overall the game isn't that bad.i even recommend it for players new to fallout series
    but yeah old fallout players may get disappointed    … Expand

    I don't believe this game should get bashed like it is. No, it is not as good as previous games. New Vegas and Fallout 3 were insane games that will go in the books for some of the best games ever created. But there isn't another game like the Fallouts, they're so unique they need to be given credit. Id give this game an 8 but with the dlcs I give it a 9.

    A surprisingly good game on the PS4! I definitely enjoyed this game a lot. In fact, I can surely put it in my top 10 list of the best games on PS4.

In fact, I can surely put it in my top 10 list of the best games on PS4. This game is super fun, has great features and draws you in to it's post-apocalyptic world! One thing I would have wished is that this game should have had a longer story. You have multiple choices but I wish these choices lead to a longer story line.

    Pros and Cons:

    Pros:
    - Fun and has great RPG dynamics.
    - Rewarding system and great loot.
    - Amusing story. Not very long but still satisfying and enjoyable.
    - Has Mods. One of the very few PS4 games that allows mods. Amazing!
    - Has multiple paths. You can choose multiple story lines to follow so you aren't forced to always follow the same story.
    - Easy repeatable, I played this game 3 times over.
    - Has a great feel. Feels pretty good on PS4. Rarely lags and runs quite smoothly.
    - Haven't tried all the DLC's yet but I have heard that they are entertaining.

    Cons:
    - Fighting the same enemies can get tedious.
    - Needs a longer story, once the game is done then you are forced to either repeat or freestyle the rest of your game. Both can get boring if done for too long/too many times.
    - Has crashed on PS4 a few times. It can happen.
    - NPC's don't really feel alive. Needs more compelling A.I.

    Don't really have much more to say. I played this game around a year ago so I am only reviewing what I remember. I mainly have good memories on this game. I suggest you buy it if you are interested!    … Expand

It is about the story, the choices & being able to walk around in such a cool post apocalyptic world. Fallout 4 is bigger than is predecessors. Much prettier. I mean the environment is amazing. The weather is a cool addition. Everything from the weapon and armor crafting to the settlement building. Its all amazing. I love the game. 70+ hours in & i still havent seen the full map. All these haters giving it these terrible scores just dont have respect for the art of game building. Fallout 4 is a work of art. Its a beautiful complex thing. All in all I can understand why some simple minded people would get lost & feel overwhelmed in such a magnificent creation.… Expand

    Are people playing a different game than I am? My ONLY gripe with the game is the graphics aren't "next gen." That is the only reason I've docked it one point. I think this Fallout is more accessible than the others, the shooting mechanics are AMAZINGLY improved, and the flow of the stories is much better than in the previous releases.

    As far as stories go, I love the main quest. The side quests, surprisingly, are even better than the main story. The companion dynamic is engaging and fun to play around with. Each companion has their own perk that they bring a long. For example, you can take a companion (Valentine) along with you to hack into computers that are below your skill level. Or, you can take a companion (Piper, I think), whose perk gives you a bump in experience points when wandering the map. This is great for getting early boosts in character level.

    The crafting and inventory management take time to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's really engaging, especially with the weapons. It's like Borderlands on steroids, and the changes you make have a noticeable difference. On top of this, you can craft and grow resources that can be used in crafting other useful items.

    It's crazy to me that even the users are getting more picky than the 'professional' reviewers. This game is really thought out and I don't know if the hype of this game let people down. I don't know what people were really expecting, but from what I can see, this game has GOTY written all over it. I'd give it a 10+ if the graphics were even slightly better.    … Expand

    A strong return for the franchise, boasting incredible customisation, a fascinating world and brutal yet brainy shooting, slightly tarnished by lacklustre AI and tedious inventory management. [Christmas 2015, p.88]

    Feral Ghoul ugly in many ways, but beneath its iffy exterior beats the heart of one helluva great RPG. Get past the graphics deficiency, and the sheer thrill of Fallout 4’s combat, crafting options, and exploring will hold your attention for months. [January 2015, p64]

    Fallout 4 leans to the Shooting side of things. It strips down the gameplay from the actual RPG elements and offers a meta-nuclaer shooting gallery which of course keep its charm and gameplay wealth but also feels a little too friendly for the new comers. The Base builder mode is unnecessary, boring and irritating. Unfortunately, overall, there are no steps forward for this Nuclear Holocaust Behemoth of the video games industry. Only steps sideways.
