Here, though, you get to explore a brief, pre-war prologue and see a little bit of what life was like before the bombs fell, turning your Boston-area suburb into yet another super mutant-filled wasteland. I liked every one of those games quite a lot, but I will say that I was a little disappointed with how closely Fallout 4 sticks to that formula of factions, exploration, and points of no return that you cross as the factions are inevitably pitted against each other and the story winds down. There's a great game in Fallout 4, but how much of that greatness gets through to you is largely dependent on your own tolerance levels for those glitches and how willing you are to play another game from the same template as Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 3, and Oblivion. That's also to say that it's occasionally kind of broken, from performance issues specific to the console versions to scripting glitches that might just prevent you from progressing to the same sort of "physics gone wild" moments that make for killer animated gifs and such. Fallout 4 follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, which is to say that it's a large, sprawling world filled with so many different quests and locations that most players will miss entire subplots as they scavenge their way from one side of the world to the other. At some point, I just want the games to work reliably. But with each release, the "fun" of watching the games glitch out and behave in maddening and/or hilarious ways became a little less thrilling.
On the previous batch of consoles, it felt easier to work past the technical glitches-on some level, it was just impressive that games of that size and scope could even run on an Xbox 360 to begin with.
This has always been the push and pull of Bethesda's action/adventure/role-playing games. Occasionally broken, but robust in a way that few games attempt, let alone achieve. You get a set of power armor almost immediately, which is a nice twist.īuggy, yet beautiful. To see that score (note that the text is identical across both versions of the review), click here. Due to performance issues specific to the console versions of the game, the PC version has been given four stars out of five. Editor's note: The above score applies to the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game.
