Fallout 4 Reviews
Bethesda offers us one of the best games of the year. What they now call GOTY, for possibilities of play, duration, fun and especially for offering us a real world in which to immerse ourselves for months.

Fallout 4 is something special. Something special indeed. No, scratch that. It's downright S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
Fallout 4 captivates with a hauntingly beautiful apocalypse and refuses to let go. Exceptional gameplay is marred by a few flaws, but the Wasteland's flaws have never been fewer.
Though the franchise hasn't come quite as far in the last seven years as we'd hoped, but Fallout 4 is still an impressive piece of work that's not to be missed.
Despite its technical shortcomings, Fallout 4 is still a delight to play, and serves as a reminder of what an experienced team like Bethesda can accomplish with their expansive open worlds. Those looking to lose days, weeks, perhaps even months of their time to a game will find more than enough here to keep them satisfied.
A few quibbles with mechanics and bugs can not drown out Bethesda's triumphant return to the end of the world after the last 7 years - their best game ever, and a serious challenger for best game of 2015.
The old Fallout feel is back, and all the adjustments that have been made over previous Fallout games have been perfectly measured out. With Boston, the Wasteland is a world that has a wide range of factions, locations, characters and features to offer. The flaw of the hurried intro doesn't outweigh everything the game has to offer. Fallout 4 is a game where you look at your watch the first time and see 22:00, then look again a little later and see 02:34 to your horror. This is nearing perfection and it's the game whose needle doesn't leave your vein anymore.

It's extremely difficult to find an experience that at least comes close to what Bethesda offers us with Fallout 4.

Combine that with the level of exploration, and you have something you're going to be playing for a long time. The devil is in the detail, and as soon as you boot up the game, you can clearly see the outstanding level of detail everywhere you look. I went into the game knowing almost exactly what to expect and that's what I got, plus some nice surprises. There are plenty of bugs that you can run into but from my own personal experience, they are bearable enough to not mind them too much. Think of this game as an upgrade to the Fallout series, rather than an evolution, and you'll find almost nothing wrong with it. Fallout 4 is an amazing open-world experience that every gamer needs to experience. It delivers on everything it promised and just a bit more.
Finally Fallout 4 is here, in its new Boston location with huge mission and customisation variety means one thing, say goodbye to your real-world life fellow Vault Dweller!
I probably can't give a higher endorsement of Fallout 4 than this: I've spent around 50 hours playing between the console and PC versions, and I don't feel like I'm anywhere near quitting.
To say that Fallout 4 is a big game would be to reduce it to its shallowest values. The valuable lies not in the mere volume of activities it offers or the size of its map, but the striking depth of its mechanics and the masterful form as Bethesda made the world so that the plot was developed organically through characters, details of the environment and actions of the user alike.

I'd be lying if I said that there wasn't anything left for me to do within the game, and I'm sure that statement will stand for quite awhile as well. A good game and an even better experience.
Bethesda has created another game you can lose your life in. New experiences just keep coming, and you always have another perk to unlock
[WARNING: Mild Spoilers] In the grand scheme of things, Fallout 4's minor issues pale in comparison to its successes. When you put the controller down, you think about the friend you betrayed to benefit another, the shifting tide of an incredible battle, or the moment you opened a drawer and found someone's discarded effects, making you wonder how they felt before the bombs fell. In moments like these, Fallout 4 can be an intoxicating experience.
If you've played a Bethesda RPG, you should have a pretty good idea of what you're in for. Bethesda plays it surprisingly safe with the formula, but they also do a much better job with the story this time around, serving to elevate the game as a whole. While there's no denying that it can be a bit ridiculous at times, its sheer scope speaks for itself. Bethesda has succeeded in crafting yet another fascinating open-world RPG.
Fallout 4 is a roaring response to criticism that the series has ignored its qualities as a shooter in favor of its deeper and stronger RPG roots. Nearly every design change in Fallout 4 poises the game as a more streamlined modern shooter with high production value across the truly open-world Commonwealth wasteland. The introduction of settlements, newly designed power armor, and deeper crafting evolve the Fallout franchise for the better. This occasionally comes at the cost of storytelling, however, with a plot based on stringently polarizing factions as well as diminished interaction with characters in general. But despite these missteps, Fallout 4 will only improve with time, assuredly with the assistance of the community and user-created mods, and soundly reclaims the franchise as a forward-thinking series in the industry today.
Fallout 4 is hugely ambitious and without a doubt one of the best games this year. It's not without its flaws, but very few games made me care more about what I was picking up, how to use it, what choices I made, and even the communities I'd founded. By streamlining some mechanics, Bethesda has made room for other more complex ideas. If you can forgive a few technical imperfections, of which there aren't as many as prior instalments, Fallout 4 exceeds all expectations.
