this game is fun, but the community and its company are equally toxic. spend your money and time elsewhere. the few times this game is fun is with friends, and at that point, there are thousands of better multiplayer games you can choose from.

It's like Risk of Rain 2 but autistic. I love it.

Very good. It's the first game in years that I WANT DLC for. Replayable, engaging, highly animated and detailed, and full to the brim of content. The only criticisms come in the lack of things to do in Act 2 and the bugs in Act 3.

Summary: 7.5/10. The story is fantastic and diverse in choices with creative and interesting moral choices and consequences. However, the very clunky controls and combat as well as a lack of polish leave me wishing Bethesda gave them more than 18 months to make the damn thing.

Fallout: New Vegas still holds up as one of the best Fallout games made, which is ironic considering Bethesda didn't make it. Obsidian was given the Fallout 3 engine and only a YEAR AND A HALF to create the game, so the fact they were able to make such an interesting and well written story in such a short timeframe is already impressive. The quality of the DLC fluctuates, but overall is well worth the price as it is now. No faction is purely good or evil; every one of them is flawed. The setting is engaging and interesting, and the multiple endings and stories that intertwine help immensely with replayability. If you value story over gameplay, then this is a must have. The perk system and leveling skills is also very enjoyed and fun, and I find myself missing it in Fallout 4.

The reason I call it a First Draft of a Magnum Opus is because while the story is excellent, the game play and controls are pretty bad. Obsidian clearly didn't have enough time to work out all the bugs and clunky controls so the gameplay is serviceable at best, broken at worst. The game looks pretty terrible, and not because it's a post-apocalypse. Animations are barebones and unnatural, there's no sprint button, enemies feel like they don't even flinch when you unload into them, and some of the normal people look more deformed than the ghouls. Even for its time this game was ugly. Guns are clunky and some iron sights don't even line up properly.

However, even with all of the flaws and clunkiness, the story is just that good to where I find myself replaying this game over and over again every few years. Don't come in expecting the gameplay to be anything more than rough, and expect some bugs and annoyances. The story is where this game shines, where even to this day people debate which factions are the best for the wasteland. Overall I highly recommend it if you enjoy stories in games.

A Flawed But Legendary Game

Summary: 6/10. Above average incredibly fun exploration and world building, but bugs, poor writing, repetitive dungeons, and a weak combat system hold it back.

The game is far from perfect. It suffers a lot due to the fact there's like 3 kinds of dungeons (Nordic, Dwemer, and Caves) and they feel basically the same. The side quests aren't very compelling, the writing is pretty lackluster, and frankly I find the combat laughable even for its time. It's also insanely buggy, though that pretty much goes without saying.

That being said, it's incredibly fun to play. Exploring without quest markers on is really fun, I highly recommend avoiding fast travelling as exploring and traveling is the best part of the game. The modding community is fantastic and helps elevate the game as well, so playing with mods is almost a must. The world building and lore is fascinating, and even though the game's textures are rather ugly the vistas and orange skies of dusk as you ride your horse down a mountaintop trail listening to the amazing soundtrack is unforgettable.

I've enjoyed it, regardless of the flaws it has. It's not a masterpiece, but it's fun. If the writing was more engaging, and there were more unique and interesting places to explore, as well as more interesting plots and character writing, it would be flawless (besides bugs). Overall I recommend it.

This is one of the strangest games I've played in a while, but that's not a bad thing.
PROS:

• It's a funny game! Some jokes fall flat, most don't. It's not a particularly long game so it doesn't get old.
  
• Playing in VR is definitely better, but I don't own VR. Playing with a normal screen is fun too.
  
• There's a lot of secrets and collectables if that's up your alley. It's not too hard to find most stuff.
  
• Platforming is pretty fun!
  
• In my entire playthough there was rarely any bugs, which is very impressive nowadays. It's well made.
  
• The artstyle is pretty appealing, so the graphics are good.

CONS:

• The game is pretty linear, despite having a few dialogue differences for choices.
  
• Combat is pretty samey, definitely not the focus of the game.
  
• Without VR it's hard to get a sense of depth when platforming, so you'll miss jumps every now and then.
  
• If you miss a collectable on a level, you can't really go back to grab them. If you want everything, do it all at once.
  
• Get used to Justin Roiland's voice. I don't mind it personally but I know some people might.

Overall, I'd recommend this game! It's pretty quick so the price is a bit high personally, but you'll have fun with it.

I bought this for the meme but its actually really fun! No joke I'd recommend it, it's super fast paced action. For the price, I'd recommend buying it
