After watching the Fallout TV show, I felt like playing a Fallout game, so I decided to play Fallout 4 since I already owned it. However, it turned out to be the worst decision I made this entire week. The game is nearly a decade old, yet it still has many issues. My game froze after trying to stop the baby from crying, which happened only 10 minutes into the game. Additionally, my character got stuck in an infinite animation after trying to activate the terminal for one of the missions, which was around 30 minutes into the game. I had to reload the game and lost my progress because the game didn't save. Also, every time the characters talk, their lips move in some of the weirdest ways possible. The movement feels really janky, and every time I run, my character would randomly stop even though my stamina wasn't low.

Fallout 4 sucks! the TV show is 100x better. I have no plans to play the older Fallout games since if Fallout 4 is this janky, I cannot imagine how much worse the older games could be.

After finishing Nier Automata, I was still curious about the story and the world of Nier. So, I decided to play the "prequel" Nier Replicant. However, I wouldn't recommend doing that if you're expecting the stories to tie together because the reality is Replicant and Automata's stories are very different except for a few similarities here and there.

Nier Replicant is Wayyy slower than Automata and I am not exaggerating one bit when I say WAYYY slower. The entire game is mostly fetch quests after fetch quests which got tiresome. I hope you're a fan of backtracking because you're gonna be doing a whole lot of that in Replicant. I wouldn't mind these boring missions if the story was being revealed as we did them but that's not what ends up happening. The story doesn't get interesting until like 10 hours into the game which personally for me is too damn long of a wait.

I really do love the atmosphere of the game though. The game feels so cozy. I love running around Replicant's world while the ost is playing it's such a unique vibe. This is one of my favorite things about Replicant and also Automata as well.

The combat in Replicant isn't all that great but it's still pretty fun. There isn't much combo variation and some of the magic abilities are clearly way more powerful than the others so I found myself running through the game with the same loadout.

Overall Replicant was a slow painful experience. I wish part 1 didn't drag on so damn long because that's what burnt me out the most. I wish I never went into this expecting more Automata lore because that definitely ruined the story a little bit for me.

3 year old game with only 4 stages what a disappointment. Instead of adding more stages the devs decided to release 2 DLC which contained like 6 new weapons and a couple of new characters but 0, ZERO new stages WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL.

20$ game for 3 hours of content (maybe longer if you're really bad or unlucky with weapons).

unlocking new characters isn't even satisfying either because most of them aren't all that great. All you need is a good rng gun and its ggs.

I don't recommend it for 20$. Shit, I got the game for 15$ and I still feel like it wasn't worth it.
