Despite struggling to get into playing the game steadily at first, this game is truly something else. Fallout: New Vegas is the single-player RPG dream come true, with entirely non-linear gameplay and story, you can play and progress through the game exactly how you think your character would do it. There are no real barriers on how you make your character, or how you choose to play. As opposed to something like Fallout 4, NV does not give you a predetermined personality or backstory, you can kill every NPC, and the dialogue choices are plentiful and impactful.

The gameplay can be challenging, and rather annoying at first, but there are plenty of builds to create and mess around with, and you can choose to talk your way through situations, brawl your way through them, or you can even play the game without killing anybody.

The wild west aesthetic is something that hasn’t been explored in any of the prior Fallout games, or many RPGs for that matter, and it was great to live out some wild west scenarios, and gamble my way to getting kicked out of every Casino.

The game is rather old, which creates a lot of problems when it comes to installing, running, and configuring the game, but once you get past some of the technical grievances, it’s a really great experience.

This game was really refreshing, and it was especially nice to get such a tabletop experience from a video game, and it is very reminiscent of the earlier 90’s Fallout titles.

8.5/10 - A must buy for anybody interested in an RPG experience.
