What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Let's be honest - this is a pretty terrible port of a pretty average game - I've been playing Fallout games since the Interplay/Black Isle isometric days, and FO4 is a step forward from FO3/NV in terms of its gunplay, visuals, and being able to mod your equipment; but it's several steps backwards in almost every other way.
