As my first time playing a Fallout game, this was a fun experience that sucked me into playing hours at a time, though the experience wasn't flawless. The story did a good job of getting me to care about the main character and his/her quest to find their missing son after witnessing his kidnapping. The gameplay had satisfying gunplay, and I abused the heck out of the VATS system. Open world and perks reminded me of a slightly more modern Skyrim, but the crumbling buildings and ruined highways don't really give the same environmental atmosphere that Skyrim did. After a while, it frankly started to feel very samey as you cleared out more areas of enemies. Some quests were better written than others, and I did have a few bugs jump into my game, though nothing major. I enjoyed this game a lot, and probably would replay it in the future with mods to make things more interesting.
