The best gameplay the series has to offer.
PC version reviewed.
Fallout 4 is an RPG published and developed by Bethesda Softworks for the Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC.
GAMEPLAY
Certainly worth mentioning that the character creator is the best I've ever seen in a video game.
Combat is the best the series has had to offer
There is little doubt the new settlement building mechanic could have been better but it's still possible to create some pretty cool things with the tools provided. It certainly does bring something new to the game such as giving more reason to pick up junk and simply providing players with a fun new opportunity to build and manage towns.
STORY
The main story is pretty mediocre. To some extent I didn't like the way all the factions seemed to merge into the main story, instead of like in Skyrim where, aside from the civil war story line, the other factions were separate and each had their own story. At the same time though it did make some of choices more meaningful and meant you couldn't become the leader of everything like in previous Bethesda games.
The game does seem to build around some elements of hope and progress which made it a bit easier to play for me as New Vegas seemed so sombre.
GRAPHICS
The lighting it really nice and makes exploring the world even better
While still buggy in places there have probably been games worse than it at launch, especially in the Fallout series and it doesn't have nearly as many problems with crashing as New Vegas did.
SOUND
Whilst I didn't think the soundtrack was anything brilliant, not that it's bad, I thought it was better than New Vegas'.
VALUE FOR MONEY
