Here's the thing, I played about 30 hours of fallout 4 and I'd say I enjoyed most of it. But the writing of this game lets down the rest of it, say what you want about the bethesda formula of looty inventory management sims but I personally quite enjoy them. There were a few quests in fallout 4 that were good enough, notably the mechanist, but the rest of them are just fetch quests with some random theme. It's just so unengaging and it's sad because I don't think you need to change anything apart from the writing to make me enjoy it so much more.
The story was fairly cliche at times, but I enjoyed it. The absolute highlight of the game for me was all of the duels, they felt rough and took a while to learn the moves and overcome. Came with a lot of the same feelings as overcoming a tough souls boss. The game looks very pretty I found myself using the photo mode and admiring the environment a lot more than I thought I ever would.
The ending genuinely almost had me in tears, really enjoyed the game .

Setting up an elborate escape plan to get through all of the objectives and back to the escape vehicle was great the first few times, but only doing that becomes abit boring. Even with the inclusion of new tools I just wasn't enjoying it that much anymore. And the sandbox and creative modes didn't really interest me

Jac told me to play this game for a very long time, I ignored him. But it truly was such a banger. No piece of information, no minute clue that you find is irrelevant and I don't reallythink that a game as ever made me feel as smart/ created the feeling of the fog lifting like this game did. When a new chunk of information suddenly connected several others and a small part of the greater picture unfolded there truly is nothing that matched that feeling. After finding out what I needed to do and realising it meant trying to do the part of the game that I found the hardest but this time under the pretense that I would only have once chance, the adrenalin, fear and excitement that coursed through me was unrivaled. Then completing it first time with no practice was a dopamine shot from heaven. The ending was also really good at creating the feeling of new beginnings whilst still leaving you with time to say goodbye to the people you'd met along the way. What a fucking banging game man.
