So there I stood, freshly emerged from the vault with the beautifully decrepit landscape teasing me, taunting and practically begging me to explore it.

Luckily I knew that the real adventure would begin once you leave the vault.

It’s a painstakingly slow burn, and even though I’m supposed to care about what had just happened, there was no proper fleshing out of the characters and it just ended up feeling all wishy-washy.

Something catastrophic happens to your family later on which sets up the basic premise of the story. It opens with a pretty neat and powerful character creation toolset and you’ll have a bit of time to spend with your family before everything goes to hell and you’re forced to take shelter inside the game’s iconic Vault-Tec vault. Now we’re here in 2015 and it’s time to don the Pip-Boy yet again as we explore a post-apocalyptic world full of dangerous raiders and bugs (of both the creepy, and technical persuasion).įallout 4 starts off by giving players a glimpse of life before the nuclear war. It became an instant hit and stole the hearts of many wannabe vault dwellers. 7 years ago Bethesda reintroduced the world to the nuclear wasteland in the form of a first person RPG shooter.
