    Fallout New Vegas and 3 are better than this although its still a good game and i defiantly recommend it .

    Fun way to pass the time but it's more of a sandbox for me than a real game. I haven't been bothered to do the main quest, which isn't very engaging. The combat system is meh and, while the game looks better than its predecessors, it's still relatively flat.
    However, the open world remains fun to explore and the sheer amount of side quests make it worth playing.
    All in all a pretty okay game.

    This game is not as long as it should be, not worth the money i spent, the previous games were better, and every fallout game i have played has way to many glitches, i am very dissapointed in bethesda.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fallout 4, when you get down it, is a game that achieves everything it sets out to do, its just that what it aims to be is another unambitious open-world adventure. The vanilla game itself runs well, though when there are any hiccups they are extremely noticeable but not game-breaking, same with the glitches which are, from my experience, almost entirely graphical. The game also tries to tell a narrative with multiple paths, which is maybe the most unengaging because of the plain dumb plot and the lack of significant story interaction. Progressing the story requires quest completion, which means completing simple tasks like killing enemies or interacting with something or someone, which isn't always terribly interesting but almost always clear to the player thanks to quest markers, though ultimately the entire game is just following the way point and making a lot of the same interactions. Combat is the game's greatest strength, every weapon feel great to use in bouts but a lot of the enemies you'll be fighting aren't all that interesting, with illusionary battle tactics from most of your combatants, they all may as well fight like Space Invaders. Players can also customize their abilities with perks, which is honestly just fine, their fun enough even the useless ones. Something new to Fallout is settlement building and crafting system, which sucks and is the most boring aspect, for some people along with me at least especially because its lacking and shoe-horned importance. Another big part of the game is the huge explorable open-world, which is incredibly detailed and is almost entirely filled with interesting locations, however some of the things you find or have do in these places may not really be all that interesting, Getting around to these places is easy with fast-travel, but I feel like a lot of the loading screens from doing so slow down the pace with later game loading taking significantly longer, i feel this wouldn't be a issue if the area around the locations was just more interesting same with the interior exits on to seemingly empty (but almost always) roof areas. As a whole the game is fine, if you like this sort of thing then play Fallout 4 but if you don't then prepare to be shutting the game off when your attention shifts to anything that isn't as dull.

    6 - (GOOD) There is a decent amount of fun to be had in these games albeit with a few noticeable drawbacks. Worth checking out at some point especially if on sale.
    7 - (GREAT) A game that has some flaws but all in all is a great game worth every penny of its purchase price.
    8 - (AMAZING) Game of the year contender only allowing for some minor flaws.
    9 - (SUPERB) One of if not the best game released that year, truly special.
    10 - (NEAR PERFECT) One of the best games ever made.

    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.

    Very few RPG elements, the map is too big and too empty (that is the biggest problem of this game), graphics are bellow average no matter this is a big open world game the engine it is just outdated, the majority of side quest are incredibly blend,mediocre, unoriginal!
    No matter which fraction you side with the game is basically the same (big **** no no since this should be an rpg game).

    Fun, at times a bit repetitive and a little tiring, Fallout 4 is an overall enjoyable, relaxed and intriguing action RPG. I'm not a big fan of the franchise, but the story and its characters are very fun, very interesting to learn more about. The game, just like other Bethesda games, has its quirky, buggy, but build-with-love DNA.

    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.

    Fallout 4 is an amazing game. Seriously it's very good but it has also lots of issues. First is poor optimization on PS4. Second, map is unreasonably big and side missions always repeat themselves. It gets boring after a point. In a dense area or a large shootout fps drops to somewhere near 22. A.I. is very dumb as it is in many other games. But what's worse is bugs. Hell, it even makesFallout 4 is an amazing game. Seriously it's very good but it has also lots of issues.

Satisfaction and musics are great. Graphics are good for its era. Most fun part is ability to hold and move anything (if not very heavy) like moving props in gmod. Game is based on looting and crafting system. Number of items in game is unbelievable. Story is amazing and attractive. Player can get the feeling of revenge easily. World of Fallout 4, Commonwealth, is huge and almost every part is filled with enemies, secrets, missions, and etc. Perks are fun. Leveling up and investing points in base perks unlock other perks connected to them. Father and son feeling is at point. Almost everything is great but again, bugs.. It feels a little unfinished. 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. Anyway, post apocalyptic world feeling, atmosphere is great but as i said it feels "uncooked". Expand

    Al igual que mucha gente este fue mi primer fallout y después de innumerables horas de juego comparado con sus hermanos este se ve vacío.
    Las misiones secundarias se reducen todas a lo mismo, ir a buscar a algo o alguien a un lugar y matar saqueadores, mutantes u otros enemigos y la mayoría no tienen ningún trasfondo ni nada que te atrape, cosa que no pasa con otros títulos de la franquicia.
    La dificultad aunque puede ajustarse me parece bastante ridícula, y a nada que buscas te encuentras con armas o trajes que te facilitan demasiado la aventura.
    Es muy fácil buguear al personaje intentando entrar, colarte o saltar por sitios que a simple vista parecen accesibles,
    Los gráficos me parecen bastante por debajo de la media en su época aunque esto se lo de menos se nota y bastante.
    Pero aunque tiene bastantes cosas negativas también tiene muchas otras positivas como el sistema de construcción de asentamientos, el de módulos de armas o el arbol de habilidades que no estaban en anteriores juegos.
    En resumen el juego esta por debajo en calidad a sus antecesores pero es muy divertido y da para muchas horas de juego sin contar los DLCs y personalmente le guardo cariño por ser mi primer fallout y ser el que me introdujo a esta gran saga.

    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

    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.
