    This is one of the best fallout games. It's new perk system is much more visually appealing. It's use of voiced character dialogue makes it amazing. The use of factions is good though not as well done as New Vegas. The guns are very good to use and even the melee combat feels good. However I would have like to see some more post game content but hey there's always mods.

    Very different than the old ones but I enjoyed it a lot.
    One thing I really appreciated is that the character finally speaks and expresses himself.

This is one of the best action RPG games. The last good game from Bethesda at the moment. And although optimization on PS4 Pro has not been achieved, and graphically the game stuck somewhere in 2010-13 from Fallout 4 after 6 years still gives shape to modern games in the open world. Perhaps this is due to the fact that microtransactions and huge soulless empty worlds were not so popular back then. In Fallout 4, the main story is not so important, here is the most important detailed game world, and it has excellent secondary quests.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fallout 4 should be revisited. Let me first say I understand the knee-jerk reaction of not liking this game. When it came we were expecting another New Vegas and that is not what we got. Even so, I think people are too hard on it . Pros: Imersive world. Great art design, fun combat/perk system, great side characters and side missions. I love a lot of the "busy work" in this game. It gives you a reason to explore the world and a lot of it is fun. I love the settlemen building.
    Cons: The story is bland and they dumbed down the RPG elements. No branching story lines. Overall deserves to be revisited    … Expand

    Worst Fallout game, not even a RPG. Far Cry style FPS with rpg leveling system in fallout universe. Quests are boring and have no alternative ways to finish. Dialogs are on school level writing. Every location has mass enemies with nothing interesting to interact withwith.

    I remember having played fallout 3 in 2013 5 years after it released. I have good memories of fallout 3 and for me, that was a new franchise I discovered and was looking forward for the next installments. After, for some reasons, I wasn't able to get into Fallout New Vegas and I stopped after a few hours.

    Now, almost 8 years later, I was wondering if I should give Fallout 4 a try. I'm    I remember having played fallout 3 in 2013 5 years after it released. I have good memories of fallout 3 and for me, that was a new franchise I discovered and was looking forward for the next installments. After, for some reasons, I wasn't able to get into Fallout New Vegas and I stopped after a few hours.

    Now, almost 8 years later, I was wondering if I should give Fallout 4 a try. I'm glad I did. It reminded me a lot Fallout 3 but with positive improvements. Now, let's explain why I give it 7/10 which is a little bit low compared to the other AAA games I review here.

    First, I think the ratings could vary a lot among players depending of how the bugs and glitches impacted your playthrough. For me, it almost made me quit the game after the first 10 hours. There's a whole faction I couldn't do because of a bug in Concord involving Preston, one of the main characters. So there is a lot of XP i couldn't get and I think this faction was really important (it's the first one and give you the first important missions). That' s why also I finished the main story a bit underleveled (L44). So, depending of each player's experience, I understand any ratings between 5 and 9 (the 6,7 average sounds fair)

    I decided to continue my playthrough and after, the real fun began. Even though the engine Bethesda uses is really old, I had a blast playing this game and killing super mutants, hacking terminals and lockpicking doors. The companion system is great also.

    Here are a few cons:
    1. The graphics are disappointing. (not a significant improvement if we compare to Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas)
    2. Ridiculous long loading times
    3. The shooting is a bit janky
    4. The ending is weak

    Final thoughts: There is a lot of meat in this game and you will have value for what you pay. You should give it a try if you can accept the bugs and cope with that. This is a good RPG and the open world is more organic than a lot of actual AAA open world games.    … Expand

    Fallout 4 starts out as a fun, interesting experience, but grows dull over the course of your play through.

However, I feel that the new focus towards these weapon systems has hurt the ability for choice-making, which made other Fallout games before it so unique. Despite much defense that I've heard, I refuse to consider this game an RPG. Not in the same way Fallout 3, New Vegas, and even Skyrim were. I enjoyed the companions in this game. I thought they were well-fleshed out in terms of story, and I played with them beside me for almost all 40-50 hours I spent on the game. I also appreciate Fallout 4's beautiful world, and I think it's probably one of Bethesda's more creative over the years. Overall, I liked this game. I don't regret playing it. But there are some important flaws that hold this game back, and prevent it from reaching its full potential.… Expand

There were things I didn't like, for instance the story and ending could have been better and the framerate was extremely poor in some areas, but I was having so much fun with the game otherwise that those things didn't make much of a difference.

    Pros: Power Armor. Improved graphics/shooting mechanics from previous entry. Lots to explore. Companions are interesting. Base-building was fun (see cons).

    Cons: Some missions get repetitive. The story/ending could have been better. Base building (and protecting your base from attackers!) was a great idea that was left undercooked. The framerate in some areas is unacceptable.    … Expand

    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.

It completely pales compared to previous Fallout games. I played about 50 hours, and don't think I met a single interesting character. In fact, I hardly met any characters at all. The world is pretty much empty except for raiders and bugs and what not, and filled with enormous amounts of trash that you are compelled to pick up so you can craft various armor and weapon upgrades, or to build pieces for the useless settlements. In fact, that seems to be the main point of the game. Collect trash, and build and maintain settlements all over the map.

    The graphics are very sub-par, so is the music/soundtrack. I was surprised how poor the game looked. Not much of a step up from Fallout 3. Controls are super clunky on PS4. I had the hardest time aiming and targeting.

    There really are so many much better games available for PS4/PS5, I don't know why anyone would bother with this trash.    … Expand

    The early days of the PS4 were an ugly time for games and Fallout 4 is no exception. In 2021, the Fallout 4 looks and plays even worse compared modern gaming, but the SSD in a PS5 is a savior to get through the game's many loading screens. You experience on an old PS4 may vary.

In 2021, the Fallout 4 looks and plays even worse compared modern gaming, but the SSD in a PS5 is a savior to get through the game's many loading screens. You experience on an old PS4 may vary.

    Fallout 4 looks bad. Compare it to The Witcher 3 and there is no contest. Compare it to Fallout 3 and you wonder what Bethesda had been doing for 7 years. It's not just the lighting, character models, and ever present green hue. The game recycles models from Fallout 3 and itself, over and over, so you really have no idea where you are or what the landscape is supposed to be. The character models and faces are indeed terrible. Enemies are completely uninteresting and all wear variations of the same types of armor. The dialogue options are just as generic and dialogue options rarely, if ever, have an impact on the game.

    Fallout 4 also plays bad. The V.A.T.S. system from Fallout 3 returns without any apparent changes. (Was this entire game planned as DLC for Fallout 3?) Players can queue up attacks in a way that briefly turns battles into turn based encounters. I like V.A.T.S. as an alternative for RPG fans who are not saavy with shooters. However, if you are saavy with shooters, the live action gunplay is garbage. I don't expect a Bethesda game to play as smooth as a Bungie game, but at least nail the fundamentals of slowing down the reticle speed as you near the target. Or put another way, playtest your game with a controller and not a keyboard and mouse! I found that cover and sidestepping made no difference with enemies. You stand (or crouch) your ground and shoot until all enemies are dead. Every battle is like a war of attrition. Whether you go melee or guns, V.A.T.S. or live action, the gameplay has to pause every thirty seconds to a minute while you scroll through a menu to use a health item.

    By the way, I have not got gotten to the worst part. The game forces players to build settlements and manage the settlers. At first, I thought this idea was a little tacked on but had intriguing implications. Those fine thoughts were dispelled as soon as the game forced me to assign a settler to work a water pump. There is no overarching menu screen for this. You cannot boot up a version of Fallout Shelter on your phone. Instead, you clumsily enter crafting mode, highlight a settler with your reticle, and then highlight the item you want the settler to work. If you do not set up your settlements well enough, they will be constantly attacked by enemies. The attacks will show up as quest objects and you can help if you want. Don't. The attacks never end and you will never actually finish the game if you go down the base building, base defending rabbit hole. The entire settlement system and the defense of settlements looks from the outside like a great way to pad playtime so the game looks bigger than it really is.

    The settlement and crafting system seems very 2015. Minecraft was incredibly successful back then and many games were jumping on the crafting bandwagon. Fallout seems like a good series to add crafting because you make do with the resources left behind. But not this kind of crafting. Not a chore. Adding insult to injury, every building you craft looks a ramshackle shack. No matter how you design a giant mansion for yourself, it will always look like a monstrosity. Why not just move into one of the cookie cutter office buildings that are still standing?

    Fallout 4 does allow mods on the PS4 to change the playing experience. I saw some that make collecting items and thus base building easier by removing the carry limit. This is especially important because all settlement structures require parts that have to be salvaged, and it sucks to make multiple trips to carry it all. Various other mods solve the settlement defense problem. The downsides to mods are breaking the game and losing access to trophies. The game is already a sandbox that is essentially made to be broken. This is the only reason I play these kinds of RPGs. If I wanted a good shooting game, a good building game, or a good story game, I would play almost anything else.

    All-in-all, Fallout 4 is a crap game. Playing it more does not make it better. All I really want is for Skyrim and The Witcher 3 to have a baby, and let me make my own character in a world that looks as good as The Witcher 3 and has the quality storytelling of The Witcher 3. Bethesda games are the best in their niche if only because they are the only games in that niche. To be clear about the effect of this, I waited this long to buy Fallout 4 because of how disappointed I was with the game trailers and previews. Quality matters.

    Update: I finished the main story and my opinions are unchanged. A dud is a dud.

    Full Disclosure: I downloaded Fallout 4 for "free" with the PS+ collection on PS5. Not only did I not pay $60 for this game, I also did not suffer long loading times.    … Expand

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

    --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

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

    I somehow managed to break my gameplay experience so I never actually finished the main quest-line. In saying this i did spend about 57 hours within the game kinda just **** around and leveling up my character.

    I really love the Fallout franchise. It's a lot of fun, a really interesting open-world to explore, and also has some interesting lore and locations. Um, so Fallout 4?

    I really love the Fallout franchise. It's a lot of fun, a really interesting open-world to explore, and also has some interesting lore and locations. Um, so Fallout 4? It's incredibly okay. I went through 3 stages of grief playing the game.
    1. I love it! The gameplay is smooth, solid, feels satisfying shooting guns and collecting loot. The actual core-mechanics and leveling up system is pretty good this time. Not as deep, or dense, as the OG, but definitely good. Building bases is kinda fun. I love the environment and setting. I mean, it's basically fallout 3...but better looking? Also has nice gameplay elements.
    2. Wait! Is this basically a grind-fest-looter-shooter...why are the main quests and side-quests all feel repetitive and annoying. Um, it's got some alright moments. But like, hmmm, I'm getting BORED FAST.
    3. **** this! **** What are these repetitive randomly generated **** quests? Why is the narrative so weak? **** the Companions, they are annoying (and also pointless) What does this game even want to be??? WHY IS IT A **** LOOTER SHOOTER!!!!!!! WTF !!!! I just...I guess I'm done with the game. Thank God. Moving on.

    These are my opinions on Fallout 4. It's a fallout looter shooter w light RPG elements and annoying repetitive generated quests. Gets really Dull after about 20 hours of gameplay. None of the factions are that interesting either! I also Really REALLY missed (and hate) what they do with the Insitute.It's all boring...I really missed the Enclave. Also having a voiced character is **** DUMB and takes away from the immersive elements of these games. **** dumb.

    Super Mixed bag aye. I would recommend this game for 10 dollars (I paid this much for it) You do get a lot of content. The game is flawed.    … 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.

    I put over 100 hours into Fallout 3 and have well over that amount of time invested into Fallout 4. Personally, while I don't think it quite achieves the level of quality that Fallout 3 had, it's a very solid and enjoyable Fallout game that's well worth your time.

Personally, while I don't think it quite achieves the level of quality that Fallout 3 had, it's a very solid and enjoyable Fallout game that's well worth your time.

    Fallout 4 is divisive among fans, and I can understand why. While the story is interesting enough, the dialogue suffers due to the flat performance of the protagonist's voice actor (I played as a male, not sure about female performance) and the lack of depth to conversation options. The game effectively tries to be Mass Effect and it isn't very good at it. Fallout 3 seemed to have a conversation option for every kind of player in every kind of situation. Fallout 4 gives vague commands that result in the protagonist saying things that you never intended for them to say. These commands are are basically always the same: Positive response, negative response, sarcastic response, or request more info. The quality of conversation suffers as a result.

    Fallout 4 also eschews some of the traditional mechanics of the series. Gone is the karma system, stat allocation, and equipment degradation of previous titles. While I enjoyed the new perk tree system and didn't really miss the karma factor, I was disappointed that repairing equipment was removed. In a post-apocalyptic game with a focus on crafting and scavenging, this seemed like a no-brainer, as it really adds a level of depth to the immersion. I would have at least appreciated an option to turn it on or off.

    Settlements are another huge new addition to the series, but the system has a lukewarm implementation. It's truly addictive to upgrade a settlement and watch it grow. I've spent much more time on settlements than I ever thought I would. However, the system makes demands of the player a la The Sims. You seemingly are always being tasked to go build a new one, although you are free to ignore these quests if you like. The trouble comes from your need to manage the resources and happiness of each settlement, which can be annoying. More so is the fact that any settlement can come under attack at any time, and if you don't respond in a timely manner, the settlement suffers damage and the happiness of the inhabitants goes down. You may be on an important quest halfway across the map, unwilling or unable to simply drop what you're doing to help. More importantly, defense rating is a factor. Why did I build 10 turrets for a tiny farm if they can't old off a gang of half a dozen raiders? It makes no sense.

    These are the largest criticisms I've seen leveled at the game, and they're all valid. However, I don't think they detract enough from the experience to stop it from being good. The rest of the game is pure Fallout. You wander off into a huge wasteland loaded with a nearly endless amount of places to see, characters to meet, quests to undertake, items to scavenge, and fun to be had. The tried and true Bethesda method of having something new and exciting every 5 feet to distract you from what you were previously doing remains strong in Fallout 4. This is a game that's very easy to get lost in.

    Improvements have also been made to combat and weapon customization. While it doesn't handle nearly as smoothly as a Call of Duty game, Fallout 4 has solid shooting mechanics that allow you to play it more like an FPS if you want to. A lot of my experience with the game was playing it like a shooter and only utilizing VATS (the series' famous targeting menu) when I needed it. Weapons also allow for a variety of customization options and although many of the upgrades feel same-y after a while, it still allows for diversity and progression in your arsenal, especially when you get into special weapons with unique perks.

    Scavenging and crafting are also a key focal point of the game, and thanks to the upgrade system, new approach to power armor, and settlement building, almost everything you collect will end up being useful in some form. Sometimes the most significant thing you'll find in a location isn't a new weapon or armor piece, but a hefty supply of a specific material you desperately need. For me, scavenging became a meticulous and addictive process that provided a meaningful feedback loop.

    Fallout 4's graphics have been criticized, but I never understood why. I never expected Uncharted levels of quality, and given the appearance of Fallout 3 and New Vegas, the visuals here are a significant upgrade, in my opinion.

    While I don't enjoy Fallout 4 quite as much as I did Fallout 3, I still think it's a great game that's provided me with a ton of genuine enjoyment. What it gets wrong isn't enough to take away from what it does right. After all, Dogmeat can't die in this one, and that's worth something. If you liked the previous games, you may feel like there's a few things missing from this one, but I'm willing to wager that you'll still have a great time wandering the wasteland of Boston    … Expand

For example when talking to an NPC, it draws out gun out of nowhere or walks away while talking and cuts conversation which means you need to start conversation again from beginning.

    War.... War never changes - A Streamers Review On Fallout 4

    Fallout 4 is the first game of the franchise I have ever played. It is based on Boston(USA) which means nothing to me as I am a tea drinking Brit. There are a few bugs in the game which can cause blue error screens even if you have a PS4 Pro so remember to save frequently. Overall I found it a great game but not a masterpiece    War.... War never changes - A Streamers Review On Fallout 4

    Fallout 4 is the first game of the franchise I have ever played. It is based on Boston(USA) which means nothing to me as I am a tea drinking Brit.
    There are a few bugs in the game which can cause blue error screens even if you have a PS4 Pro so remember to save frequently.
    Overall I found it a great game but not a masterpiece and I will tell you why.

    When the game starts you are slowly eased in to the mechanics of the game. You pick your name and various stats which if you know nothing about the game can make it a difficult start.
    From the beginning if you are not paying attention to the story you can miss out a lot on what the plot is about but the game does a good job in reminding you on why you are scouring the wasteland.

    One you get past the ''Tutorial'' you are left to fend for yourself in the open world, Luckily you have your trusted pip boy with you which is your Stat, Quest, Inventory guide and many more options.
    There is also base building which is not crucial and can be avoided until a certain part in the quest line which you will be forced to create structures. Personally the base building feature is majority of the fun.

    The game does tell you where to go but after completing the first 2 main quests there is a big jump between 2nd and the 3rd which you will need to level up to survive. On the way to the 3rd quest various locations can be unlocked which will become fast travel points.

    There is a difficulty which turns fast travel off but I will not be covering this in the review

    Once you get past the 3rd, 4th and finally the 5th quest you will see and hear of various factions popping up around the world. This is where you will use your own mind to decide which faction you think does the right thing and which you will have to join. Once you join one the 3 factions (Excluding minutemen) you will not be allowed to join another and will have to finish the game with them and the subsequent DLCS. You can do a few quests for each faction to get a feel for them and their values, the game does a good job in explaining what will happen once you join the faction.

    Certain areas of the game will cause a drop in frame rates, mainly down the southeast area of the map which is heavily populated. Mods can also be used on this game however I noticed that mods cause lag for me and blue error screens start popping up frequently with mod use.
    If these issues were sorted with error screens I would have given this game a 10/10. I am starting to believe my community when they say Bethesda is filled with bugs.    … Expand

    I actually wrote an essay on this game that I had to cut pages off of.
    I would say don't judge this game by how it is without the add-ons; It'd be about 8/10, maybe even 7.
    However, the picture becomes incredibly clear that the story is not what it appears as you uncover more information throughout the game, doing added missions in expansive areas with Far Harbor and Nuka-World; This is    I actually wrote an essay on this game that I had to cut pages off of.

    However, the picture becomes incredibly clear that the story is not what it appears as you uncover more information throughout the game, doing added missions in expansive areas with Far Harbor and Nuka-World; This is the most clever twist I've ever seen in a Bethesda game. It's a shame the publicists couldn't give the writers their due credit because it would ruin the plot device.

    I'm not going to do a full review of the game because I've already put a ton of effort into analyzing the story, which is easily the game's biggest selling point.
    If you're looking for a post-apocalyptic world mixed with something like Blade Runner, this is a great place to go.
    If you're looking for an exploration-heavy open-world RPG FPS with base-building elements, this is a great place to go. (Though I wish they could've just made bases in this game online instead of trying to do it with F76)
    I very strongly recommend playing this in Survival mode if you're looking for a challenge; Though loss of fast travel may seem like a turn-off, there's definitely an added layer of immersion with the limitations (needing to eat and drink to survive, needing to sleep like a normal human to function, ammo having weight, being prone to more illnesses, etc...).

    Gun and gear customization is great / better with add-ons.

    Game-play accommodates many play-styles very well: I've done a play-through all melee, as well as with minimal VATS-usage using mostly automatic weapons.

    В принципе хорошая игра, но из-за большого количества багов на релизе и нереализованного сюжетного потенциала (а он был), игра вышла просто хорошей, хотелось бы большего, особенно в части нарратива.

    Didn't know what to expect and never played any Fallout games before. I really enjoyed this game especially the base building, weapon & armor customisation etc.

    Bethesda's best gameplay to date. thats the best thing i can say for fallout 4.
    The world is somehow less interesting and engaging than the all grey world of fallout 3.
    The Narrative is as bad as it gets but neither oblivion, skyrim or fallout 3 tell great stories sdso its as you would expect. side missions are pretty much the same, there are some nice areas and secrets scattered around    Bethesda's best gameplay to date. thats the best thing i can say for fallout 4.

Теперь поговорим о сюжете, который повествует о том как ГГ теряет сына и идет на его поиски спустя сотни лет. Надо ли уточнять,что сюжет здесь калл? Единственное, из за чего стоит такая оценка–это наследие серии и геймлей.… Expand

    Fallout 4 es una experiencia imperdible, controles justos, gráficos justos y unas historias que te dan flexibilidad histórica, me he conectado muy bien con ciertos personajes y el carisma no falta; el juego vale la pena.

    Fallout 4 engages you by its graphically astonishing, beautiful, dangerous and unforgiving world. But falls short on providing depth to what looks superficially engaging.
    How ironic it may sound, the game's achilles heel are its predecessors and its Bethesda's peers, that made more with less.
    The game still provides you with a good open world RPG experience.

    The beginning of the game can be very tedious and it takes too long to level up but finally hitting high levels and getting a decent build working for you can be quite satisfying.

    The story was certainly not the best and most factions were pretty weak motivation-wise.

    While there are many better action-RPG games on the system, it's still a game worth playing on the PS4.    … Expand

    This was the first of the fallout games I had ever played. Let me tell you.. I was NOT disappointment. The story, over all, wasnt bad. The game play was fun and the visuals were pretty neat. The unique mobs and dialog made this a really enjoyable game. Being able to discover an open world in this manner was my cup of tea! This game provides excellent DLC as well. Would recommend.

    A step back for the Fallout franchise. Really enjoyed both Fallout 3 and New Vegas, so it was very exciting to see a 4th in the making, but I just can't bring myself to complete it. My major complaint is they focused way too much on the new "building" mechanics. I'm not here to play minecraft. The graphics are mediocre, however, so are most of Bethesda's games.

    THE BAD

    · DOWNGRADED. Fallout 4 basically REMOVES many of the core mechanics from previous games; skill points, proper player dialogue, player choice, karma system, and the reputation system, faction affiliation, There is barely any survival elements to the game. Within an hour you're given a Power Armor and a mini-gun. Choosing answers via the dialogue is difficult because the whole sentence is not spelled out meaning that your character might say something that you did not intend him or her to say. But that does generally not matter. While there is options, these are only an illusion of freedom. There is Yes (yes) sarcastic (yes) and No (yes) and more information. So there is really no choice. Many characters are invincible. The game is constantly telling you where to go and who to talk to.

    · Lack of INNOVATION. Fallout 4 re-use the same creatures and enemies as in FO3. The world design is more or less the same as well. It's as if this is forcibly put into the game to make it LOOK like Fallout. But in the end it's a post-apocalyptic gallery with content from Fallout crammed into the mix. The mission design is outright horrible. All missions in the game can more or less be summarized as such: (1) Retrieve someone or something or (2) Kill someone. Then you ALWAYS have to shoot your way though hordes of enemies to complete the task. What's then the POINT with roleplaying??? There is no roleplay. The only SKILL that really is valuable in Fallout from a role-playing point of view is shooting. Worse than that the game forces you to do so. This also means that there is no surprise elements. You always know what the next mission is or what's behind the next corner.

    There is more to say about the good and the bad - but what I already have said summarize it. In the end Fallout 4 is downgraded from previous titles and the game lacks innovation. I will NOT buy the next Fallout game if it is like this.    … 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.
