I have a very hard time reviewing this game because similar to its cousin Skyrim the open world is expansive and there is so much to do, in the same fashion as most bethesda games you can kinda just walk into a direction and you'll find something to do. What makes this game different from its counterparts is that the issues with the game overshadow the open world. I think the most glaring issue with Fallout 4 is the settlement system, settlements suck to play with and they aren’t self-sufficient at all, which makes it feel kind of impossible to leave them for too long, also the crafting mechanics, while fundamentally okay take weird resources to get, and you can't buy most of the resources so you have to go out in the world, but they don’t tell you places to find them and it just sucks it feels like there’s no way to upgrade your weapons in a fun way. This isn’t the biggest issue with 4 though, the biggest issue with this game is that the rewards for each mission just aren’t much so I never had any motivation to play a single level besides intrinsic, which only goes so far. By the end of my time with Fallout before I eventually never picked it up again, I would end up playing one mission, not feeling rewarded at all for doing so, then going to my settlement before realizing I couldn’t do anything there, then I’d just turn the game off for the day. This game is really disappointing, and it is one of the last bethesda games I’d recommend to anyone.
