this game is hard to rate and review because its had such an impact on gaming and the world as a whole, and i think it deserves respect for that, but it isnt anything amazing or great. i will start with the positives though, this game has amazing music, its beautiful and one of the strongest parts about it, i also think that its a great game with friends to hangout in, its a really replayable game and there is alot to do, and i think something about older versions are really charming and if it had stopped being updated and was just a neat little game it would be better for it, that didnt happen though. i think the main issues with this game are the more modern versions and that for me personally alot of the components of the game dont really interest me and arent for me. lets start with how as the game has gone on its been updated so many times with so many things that it just feels bloated and like the original charm of the game has been lost, newer elements dont mesh with the older elements and the devs are to afraid to change older things so the game ends up feeling like a hodgepodge of mechanics and ideas that dont work well and dont fit thematically, for example you look at older biomes like the forests or plains and not much has changed besides they are bigger, and you look at something like the mangrove swamps and they are far more detailed and just look different and dont mesh well with older biomes, i think the devs need to fully rework this game so that moving forward everything fits together more and overall the game feels more consistent, even then im not a big fan of constantly updating a game and i feel like its hurt it in the long run quality wise in an effort to make more money, i am aware that you can play older versions on pc but im trying to review the game as a whole at its latest version, on to the parts that i dont find much interest in im not big into the building aspects of this game and the redstone elements which means that leaving the game with as it is now as a game to play through makes it really nothing special to me personally since most of the old magic is lost and whats been put in the place of it feels soulless to me, i dont think this is a bad game and its definitely fun but its not something that should be the best selling video game ever made because i really think that it doesnt deserve that title and that being that has effected it for the worse

this game surprised me i thought it would be good but i didnt think it would be this great, the world is a bit small but i think that the story makes up for it the fallout world is so easy for me to get immersed in its such a great setting and one major thing that surprised me was that i actually liked the gameplay and combat sure not being able to rotate the camera sucks but the fights are really engaging and it makes you feel like your in a brutal wasteland where people will do anything to survive, it did have some bugs and the companions did softlock me a couple times but i dont think that makes the game bad i still think its really great, it really feels like a true rpg where you play your character and make your way through this world and make choices that will impact people, i wouldnt say its the best fallout game but its still phenomenal and i would recommend to anyone to at least try it
