Fallout: New Vegas is an adventure unlike any other I have undertaken in gaming. TL;DR: 9/10.

When I first played New Vegas, I was a complete newcomer to the franchise; I had not even played more than 5 minutes of Fallout 3 at a mate's house.

First stepping in, this world was different from what I was used to as a non-rpg gamer. You start off weak and with a scarce amount of clout. Over a steady progression through the environment around you, you become stronger, wiser, and the gravity of your choices become more significant and relevant.

It goes without saying the journey is worthwhile, in no small part owing to the various choices, actually consequential in nature, one can make

This is a universe filled with Satire, Macabre themes, A menagerie of Glitches, and some unfair Balancing Mechanics.

Bearing those observations in mind, this is an adventure game that stands the test of time. Narratives, and the stories we project onto them more so, are what ingrain experiences into our memories. Fallout: NV is a prime example of what the medium can accomplish, and in my humble opinion is a testament to Human Imagination.
