Well, damn, I knew it wasn’t Obsidian developing this one, but I still expected better. I feel Bethseda is starting to head the same way as Ubisoft, remaking and redressing the same game over and over again, and dispensing with this thing known as fun along the way.
If Fallout: New Vegas was a diamond in the rough, then Fallout 4 is a polished turd.
Positive: | Negative: |
A fairly big post-apocalyptic world to explore | The world feels lifeless with similar places piled almost over each other |
Does a fairly good job at mixing shooter and RPG game-play | The game is clogged with mmorpg-tier quests that do nothing for the narrative |
An underwhelming, bland story filled with bad writing | |
The factions are pretty boring this time around | |
Almost no options to role-play | |
The game-play is unbalanced, and gets repetitive eventually | |
Feels like Elder Scrolls with a Fallout skin |
