This iteration of fallout is one of the best hands down. The love and passion that oozes from this is felt from the 18 months Obsidian had to develop this game. It has some of the original developers from fallout 1&2, and you can feel it throughout the game through references to the eerie ambient sounds and the wacky world-building story and character development that carries over from the first 2 fallouts. This was my first game to introduce myself to the fallout universe, and it made me fall in love with the setting, lore and characters, and I was glad this was the first game i played in the franchise. It's the middle ground between what the original fallouts were and elements from 3 and 4.

I have played 165 hrs at the time of writing this and i still haven't completed the dlc yet. There are so many different choices and outcomes that don't hold you back. You can be a soulless murderer overpowering a**hole if you want to, you can kill every character you meet and still finish the game. it doesn't matter how you play It you can choose and that's what brings me back every time. This game has become one of my all-time favorites ever since i first played it. To this day, it has always been refreshing to go back and try new things every time. I highly encourage you to play this if you can. Buying it on sale is definitely worth it, the game and all its dlc is like $5 or even less sometimes.



10/10

Would patrol the Mojave wishing for a nuclear winter again
