"Hey, chin up. I know the night just got darker, but it won't last forever."

Fallout 4 is definitely a good game, overhated because what came before was better (not that I'd know, I've never played them).

While the gameplay was relatively lackluster and it felt like I was either one-shotting or mag dumping every enemy, it was pretty fun. Building up the camps was fun at first, but quickly became tedious when resources got short and more survivors joined. Not to mention me not being able to figure out how powering lights works.

The story was serviceable, while I have a few minor grievances they aren't nearly big enough to go on a tangent about. My biggest gripe was that some times the response prompts would not make it easy to figure out what I'd actually end up saying (or I'm just dumb). The characters, on the other hand, were pretty great. My favorite companion (besides Dogmeat, of course), is Nick Valentine, and boy did they cook with him. A cop with a heart of gold and instincts of steel from before the Great War who's consciousness got put into a prototype synth who has to grapple with the fact that he isn't actually Nick Valentine? Peak. Other supporting characters like Deacon and Preston Garvey were great too, especially Preston (Minutemen best faction).

80/100.
Deathclaws suck to fight, especially without power armor.

Flipline please update the older games with food truck mode 🥺

Grand Theft Auto definitely gets overhated just because Rockstar milks it's online so much but the story is extremely fun and the characters are incredibly well written.

I been thinking about this game for a bit, and I've realized just how good it truly is. The campaign has a brilliant story full of emotion with large scale exciting action. And the characters, specifically the three main protagonists, are in my personal opinion, some of the most well written characters in history. All of them have depth and nuance, and they all feel incredibly real based on their lives, but that's just Rockstars specialty I guess.
