Revisited this after watching the show and i've always had a complicated relationship with this game. Never before was I so hyped and then disappointed in a game - only to recently look back more favorably.

It's easy to judge the game by its cut content, as well as other games of the franchise. What we have instead is a really tight looter shooter still based in one my favorite fictional universes. As well as having a fun settlement system.

The thing that bothers me is the story, its missions, the shallow conversations and choices you can make. It lacks depth compared to its predecessors as well as that dire and hopeless vibe being replaced with this cute sandbox that is Boston. Yet overall, its gameplay takes centerstage and is the fondest thing i get out of this divisive game.

Also the DLC is mid at best lmao.
