May 7, 2024Fallout 4‘s current-generation port is not the most exciting thing Bethesda could have done to capitalize on this white-hot franchise, and I can think of a dozen other things that I would have been happier with. But at the same time, if it’s your first Fallout, it can still be an excellent introduction to the series, and it feels the best to play out of any of them, with competent and highly customizable combat options and potentially infinite character power. If you’re looking for a more profound, more immersive role-playing experience, people have done a lot to make New Vegas playable on modern hardware. But if you’re looking for fun first, this is still a solid step into the wild Wasteland.

Apr 29, 2024Fallout 4's core gameplay loop is still enough to hold everything together, even if the surrounding adventure is really showing its age, almost a decade after its initial release. A smooth 60fps performance mode is exactly what a lot of returning players will have wanted, and there's still fun to be had in roaming post-apocalyptic Boston — especially with the timeless V.A.T.S. system at the ready. But there's no looking past the fact that open world games have come a long way since Fallout 4 — a title that arguably felt outdated even back in 2015.
