    Fallout 4 manages to stay true to the mind blowing Fallout 3, while offering much improved visuals. The gameplay is more fluid and is just as addictive.

    One of the best games I've ever played. Honestly, as much as i liked Fallout 3 I probably prefer this one. Great cast of characters. Power armor is amazing. The combat/shooting is much improved. Tons of locations to explore. I actually really enjoyed building my bases. I understand one of the major complaints was the lack of branching dialogue.

    -Huge game
    -Loot system is addictive
    -Crafting is very fun in upgrading weapons and armour
    -So many quests that are so much fun
    -Has great replay ability with the different factions and endings to the games

    Fun game if you don't judge it based on previous fallouts. Its buggy and very glitchy, but other than that I don't have many complaints. It is fun for what it is

    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.

    Fallout 4, lets just say that it is a perfect post-war survival game, because that's what it is. The graphics, the style, the game-play. It's not just that, but the wide variety of mods on PS4 too, it just make the game customized to your liking, making it more and more enjoyable.

    All around it's a great game! Graphics could be better, her hoping fallout 5 will improve on that someday.

    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

    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.

    Are you the experiment?

    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.

    An excellent game from the now quite controversial Bethesda softworks. The game has excellent shooting mechanics and rpg mechanics.

    Basically it's the bugs problem which affect the experience, so far everything else in this game is well done.

    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.

    For me this is the best Fallout game after NV (New Vegas). With quite good mechanics and a graphical improvement compared to the other Fallouts

    I made a meta critic account to review this game because I am extremely disappointed. I pre ordered this game weeks in advance because I am a if fan of the fallout series I know it's not the same game, the RPG feature being the major factor

    The story based game play can rarely be a bit restrictive, but with mod support and a free roam option, the game is perfect.

    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.

    I loved this game. I'm aware that many hardcore Fallout fans were, understandably, not satisfied with certain elements of the game but I had a great experience. There was an enormous colorful world to explore, improved shooting mechanics, awesome power armor, and interesting companions were just a few things that I loved about it.

There was an enormous colorful world to explore, improved shooting mechanics, awesome power armor, and interesting companions were just a few things that I loved about it. With my long backlog of games I normally only do one playthrough so I didn't get to see how my in-game choices affected (or didn't affect) the story therefore this element of the game had no impact on my personal enjoyment. 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.

    A great game, I did not understand well about why a 67/100 of user criticisms, but I do not care about their complaints, I will continue to like this game because of the game world, good narrative and the combat mode of the game, if I consider it as the best Fallout game I have ever played.

    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.
