My goodness what a mess of a game this is. On the one hand, the gameplay is quite fun and entertaining, at least for a while, but on the other hand, there is the terrible, impossible to follow story line, the samey mission design and the absurd difficulty spike after about 40% of the game. I had a rather fun time until that difficulty spike and had no problem with continuing the main story. Then they robbed me of most of the abilities you unlocked since the start of the game and threw an abundance of tanks, helicopters, super mutants, missile launcher troops and soldiers at me. I had to play that part 11 times until I finally managed to beat it. After that, comes a mission where you have to defend a 50 meter long glass wall for 3 minutes while a constant stream of mutant enemies is trying to break it. I tried that two times, did not even get close to beating that part and then uninstalled the game for good. I can not really recommend the game to anyone that is not into self torture.
