Reviews
- Gameinformer Gameinformer"Fallout 4 didn’t blow me away like the previous iteration did, but it did keep me thoroughly entertained and fully vested in journeying across the wasteland. As Bethesda's "Welcome Home" marketing campaign teases, when fans of Fallout 3 or New Vegas enter this new world, it'll feel strangely familiar. As one of the top games of the previous generation, this isn't a bad thing at all. Fallout 4 has all of the trappings that can keep you engaged for days on end." 9/10 ~Gameinformer
- IGN IGN"The world, exploration, crafting, atmosphere, and story of Fallout 4 are all key parts of this hugely successful sandbox role-playing game. Great new reasons to obsessively gather and hoard relics of happier times, strong companions, and sympathetic villains driving tough decisions make it an adventure I’ll definitely replay and revisit. Even the technical shakiness that crops up here and there can’t even begin to slow down its momentum." 9.5/10 ~IGN
- Pluggedin Pluggedin"Mind-stretching complications and conundrums aren't Plugged In kinds of problems, of course. And I really do wish I could end this review with those kinds of amoral aesthetic observations. Alas. As you make all those decisions and plod along in all those different directions, you're asked to kill. And kill often. You may decide to be altruistic and heroic as you interact with the digital world around you (though greedy, murderous, untrustworthy and loathsome are all on the list of possibilities, too), but being deadly is still a must. As everything from angry wasteland wanderers to rabid beasties to feral ghouls to gigantic bloodsucking mosquitoes come your way, you will need some kind of club, cutlery or cannon to beat them down with. And depending on how large your weapon is, flying body parts, lopped off heads, and outrageously splashing gore and flesh-chunk goo will follow. Your Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System makes all that rending and rupturing even more prominent by slowing time down just enough to pinpoint specific target areas on your foes. Even a table leg can crush a skull into mush with the right application, leaving mangled bodies and bloody dead things laying around pretty much everywhere. Syringe-injected drugs, popped pills and swilled alcohol can be pretty common, too, as your character either moves to boost his "health" and "strength" or tries to ward off the detrimental effects of the surrounding poisons and radiation. And with repeated misuse, addiction can also be a part of your Fallout experience. Outbursts of f- and s-words and other crudities are unavoidable in this danger-filled world. And you can run around in your underwear—if you want to die quickly. So there you have it. The crazy and cool Fallout 4 is a colossal caboodle of the compelling, the contentious, the consequential and the corrosive. And it's all part of our new age of gaming. For better and for worse." ~Pluggedin
