I actually like this game, but it's true what others have said. It actually used to be a lot better. The combat is so much more clunky than it used to be, mostly because they added back enemy proximity damage (Enemies hitting you by touching you). It's literally impossible to dodge them, so you have to get lucky and kill them first. This is also difficult, especially if there are more than one enemy. Guns drain your energy completely by the time you kill one enemy, let alone multiple ones.

Furthermore, I feel like the enemy animals used to be a lot more varied back then. It's the same type every planet now, but I'm pretty sure this wasn't always the case. Maybe I'm wrong.

Lastly, they butchered the story by, well, actually adding one. S.A.I.L was the main source of interaction before the 1.0 update, then they added this "Bright" Grandma-like character. However, she has the most boring dialogue I've ever heard. It's nervewrecking that she's been shoehorned so hard into the game yet she's about as interesting as watching paint dry. This isn't even considering how bad the fetch-quest filled main story is. If your main story is driven by fetch quests, you failed. This applies to every game ever, period. It was bad enough with the older version's fetch quests as outpost missions, which should have been scrapped. Instead, they took it even further. Why? Why would you do that?

Overall, the game took too many steps back. It has so much potential too, so it really upsets me to no longer support it. Its soundtrack is one of my most favorites of all time too. Maybe they'll actually fix this all, but I sincerely doubt it.

Beat the final boss 4 hours in. This is excluding insane mode. I only died twice.
To be fair though, I also beat this numerous times on the PS3 back in middle school. So I still heavily recommend it. Very great game.

A nice little story I completed in four hours. Get it on a sale, though. The money to hours ratio is sorely lacking here.

This is a very fun game. Very addictive. I definitely would pick it up if you've been wanting a simple yet mesmerizing game.

Okay, I've beaten Fallout 4, and I've decided that I will give a real review. It's earned that at least.

I want to start off by saying that if this wasn't Fallout, I'd recommend this very very much.
But this is Fallout. My standards are higher; Almost unrealistic, yet they still could have been satisfied and they weren't. Yesterday, I neared the ending of the game. I could feel it. I could see the different options I chose. It felt so close to New Vegas with all the factions I could have instead supported, and I was ready to decide this would be the redeeming factor. But it all fell apart with the ending.
If it had given me a slideshow just like New Vegas, explaining the consequences of my actions and the future I've made to everything, that would have been the ticket. I would have declared Fallout 4 as close to the greatness of New Vegas as Bethesda could get it, and I would have changed my review to a thumbs up. Fate had other plans. The generic ending I got, which was even worse than Fallout 3's ending, led me to believe the game was not redeemed. The sad thing is, the lack of Ron Pearlman and the shortness of it killed it. I could tell that no matter what faction I sided with, this generic ending fit them all. It was that short and generic. Bethesda made no attempt to account your decisions into the ending.
Now, you could say it's all about what happens after the ending. Unlike Fallout 3, Skyrim, or even New Vegas, people react to what you've done with the ending. Your story doesn't end at the ending. I would say that would redeem it, but they could have done both. They could have kept this continuing after the ending aspect and given a great, long, and divergent slideshow too. This further shows Bethesda's obviously greater attention to gameplay than the role-playing.
Despite the numerous flaws (Dialogue wheel, fixed character past, removal of skills, terrible intro, bugs, lag, etc. Read other reviews, they go more into this,) I still really enjoy Fallout 4. The gameplay is fun, the story has it's good moments, it's still a timesink, customizing weapons is great, the power armor is great. I even liked the settlements even though it has it's fair share of issues. I can gladly say it's way better than Fallout 3. And, surprisingly, it came close to matching New Vegas. If you have the money to spare, get it. I still recommend a sale though. Our only voice is our wallets.

A free to play sandbox zombie survival game made by an 18 year old developer with absolutely zero pay-to-win aspects whatsoever. The only part of this game that costs money is this gold upgrade and it's completely optional and does not affect gameplay at all. The game gets constant updates for free and only gets better.

Do you see many other free to play games that are actually as free as Unturned? Who deserves your five dollars?

Mindf**k simulator. Arguabely my most favorite puzzle game on par with Portal 2.
