Missing so much of what makes a good Fallout game. RPG elements dumbed down to merely a skeleton of its former self. No satisfaction in leveling up, no need to put thought into what skills to pick, and worst of all no sense of diversity to each playthrough. You have one save file? That's all you're ever gonna need baybeeeeee!

Doesn't help that most side quests are basically get this, or kill that, or worst of all build this shudders. Without any sort of interesting story to back it up, by the time you reach a certain level, you'll just decide to rush to the end of the story because you've seen basically all the game has to offer by then.

Is there any fun to be had at all then? Absolutely! The gunplay is actually quite satisfying and fun. And there are multiple quality of life improvements that make it a bit hard to go back to earlier entries. The atmosphere is also still on point even if I prefer the more desolate feel of the other games. That's about it though.

I could get into the story, but I'd rather just sum it up as: neat set pieces, barely any depth.
