I'm just minding my own business loading a customer's fax machine into the trunk of my beater to take back to the repair shop and some HOA Karen calls the police on me, they taze me and steal both the fax machine and all 8 of my company cellphones I had on me.

6/10. They got the suburban America culture down but everyone knows police wouldn't have gone for the tazers.

I see a lot of complaints of the game crashing, just to chime in after a few play sessions and a couple hours I've had the game crash once when a guitar I was holding got stuck to my hand (knuckles controller) and after desperately trying to drop it for 30 seconds the game crashed, aside from that there hasn't been any issues and it runs great on an Index, 5800X/3090.

Here's just my opinions after 4 hours of gameplay.

Cons: No performance options at all, really zero excuse for this.
Gun scopes do not work, seriously.. They just block the iron sights and do nothing.
Performance is a let down, on an overclocked 1080Ti I fall under 90fps frequently indoors.
Game is blurry as-is, had to change some options in a .ini file which took seconds and fixed the problem, but why it this not a damn slider?
Gun scopes do not work, yea again, because of the way I wanted to play the game this is game breaking, especially since the Vive's resolution isn't quite high enough to see enemies at distance you REALLY start wanting a scope but nope.
Not enough controller configuration, main issue is having the left touchpad needing to be clicked in to run, albeit it also acts as an action/use button which causes frequent issues, for instance pointing the controller backwards and clicking to run constantly goes into commanding dogmeat and since I can't see behind me and don't realize, I've on numerous occassions sent him back to the gas station unknowingly.
Tons of really simple to fix bugs that should have never made it to release. For instance the action/use button frequently not working unless you change weapons then change back. Screen flickering black when using computers, menus workbenches etc.
VATS is a mess, they didn't even try.
Several of the guns aren't positioned correctly and you'll basically get the sensation you're holding the stock, not the grip.
Pip boy is positioned on your hand, it feels super awkward and wrong but I do understand why they did this, but still this should be an option in the menus.
There's tons more issues I could write a book, but most of the problems some modder sitting at home could/have fixed in a few hours, makes you seriously wonder what Bethesda was even doing all this time. Did they have just one guy on payroll working 1 hour a day for the past year?

So what does it do well?
Well, it's Fallout 4, in VR and for the most part it works. If you can for a short time ignore this game's glaring issues, just exploring the vast world is unlike any gaming experience I've ever had. Just exploring and fending off the mutant wild life and ghouls you encounter is amazing.

For the price and the time it spent in development just to make it work in VR, it's ridiculous how poor of a job they did. It's definitely something they put minimal investment into. But that said, it's still Fallout 4 in VR, and that's enough to keep me playing more than most other VR games even though it feels like I'm playing an Alpha build.

Storyline is great and the PC version plays excellent.

Now I've already beaten this on the PS4, I bought this purely so I could play online in full 4K at 60FPS. Game performance is excellent and my single 980Ti runs this beautifully maxed out in 4K, while achieving well over 60FPS consistently.

Now the down side, online is completely useless and unplayable unless you're playing on a friends only server. Every single public server is riddled with hackers/script users that will utterly ruin the experience. Because of this, the game ends up being a letdown. Rockstar has seemingly no plans to combat the widespread cheater problem and seemingly only cares about removing player's in game currency.

This game really has nothing going for it. Give it a try if it's ever free but it's definitely not worth your money. Maybe this is due to the fact that I've played through plenty of games that do what this game tries to do but far more successfully, such as Amnesia or Outlast. Or maybe it's that everything is extremely predictable. Or perhaps it's the fact that on a first run you'll beat this game between 1-2 hours.

Those issues aside the main issue lies in the enemy(s) your running from. Neither of which leave you feeling the urgency to run. Slenderman himself is laughably predictable and easy to evade while the second enemy you encounter both runs slower than you and can be stunned indefinitely with just your flashlight, so the entire time never feeling like much of a threat. I think the scariest part of this game happened when the level broke due to a glitch and had to be restarted.
