Long Live the NCR!

this game has the potential to be good and once in a while you can have alot fun playing,
but most of the time this game is either boring or just frustrating

super inconsistent experience and most servers are stupid toxic

top 5 games ever made
whenever people say the word, "video game", you should think of this masterpiece
I would personally recommend to bump that difficulty up, download some mods from nexus/vortex, and enjoy

fun simple game
prob better then 99.9999% of everything else on steam lets be honest

good single-player but multiplayer is a total disaster

good game
awesome game if co-op

really good game
good gun mechanics
nice selection of firearms and realistic arsenal
fun ai
overall really fun

Ive read alot of reviews both on and outside of steam that claim this game is either so good it cures cancer or so boring you fall asleep playing it. From my experience, I disagree with both perspectives. To keep it short and sweet, the first 3/4s of this game is awesome. You slowly get more and more powerful and master killing a variety of demons, not only statistically improving but getting better at the game itself. There are occasional moments where the pacing falters, either due to you spending way to long trying to figure out how to proceed with a level or mismanaging supplies (due to the fact you dont know how many more enemies you have to kill), but the game is able to consistently provide a fun slash and tear experience despite its simplicity. If you are going to play the campaign fresh for the first time like I did, I recommend using powerups as soon as you find them and not worrying about weapon/armor points. I rarely found secret areas or did challenges and had more armor/weapon/energy points then I knew what to do with.

So why the negative review?

Roughly after the "ice" level, (youll know what Im referring too once/if you have finished the campaign), this game goes downhill quickly. For context, the final fight of the ice level was a long bloody and intense experience which I consider the unofficial ending of the game. Its a great culmination where you fight all the demons youve fought so far using your vast arsenal, constantly dodging and "parkour-ing" around the level. However after this, youre forced to play through a repetitive boring slug fest of a level which not only feels too similar to previous levels, but lacks any sense of intensity that previous levels had. At this point you also get so much "upgrade points" and ammo that you basically mow down everything you see easily, with no strategy required.
WHERE ITS GETS REALLY BAD
If it was just for the cons that ive already mentioned, I probably would still recommend the game, but I have to address the disaster that is the ending.
This entire game, you feel like your tearing through a horde of the undead, clawing to get your way to some sort of a big bad guy or final battle. I was excited to absolutely pulverize one of the scientists or decapitate Satan himself. Suddenly, your thrown in front of a bullet sponge with a annoying arena mechanic. I killed it on my first try ready to continue playing the game. What I didnt realize is that it was the final boss. I imagined I would at least get a satisfying cutscene to end the game off after such an anticlimactic gameplay ending, but I was disappointed when I saw a boring setup for a sequel with no resolution.

While the story isnt as bad as other games like Farcry 5 or the Witcher 3, and the game has great initial worldbuilding and gameplay; the ending is so anticlimactic and disappointing that I have no choice but to not recommend.

You see, capitalism..........

games great

community is garbage

makes for a sub-par at best experience
