Fallout: New Vegas

In my honest opinion, this is the best fallout game. The lights of new Vegas, the multiple endings, the soundtrack, all the different settlements and the reputation system within the settlements. This game has it all! The wild wasteland trait really adds some great references in the game aswell

Fallout: New Vegas is a game that can be played in every way: you could play though the main story and call it a day, or you could be a completionist like me and try to milk it for all it's worth over several separate playthoughs. you can go around with a sniper rifle on your back and try to take down your enemies before they see you, or you can go in with an assault rifle, or an SMG, or a plasma rifle, or a laser rifle for that matter. you can be noisy and rush in with your grenade MG, or with your trusty chainsaw, or, you can be sneaky and fight with a silenced pistol, SMG or sniper. what i'm trying to say is that the possibilities are virtually endless, and it is up to you to decide what suits you best.

That is just one aspect of the game. What really makes this game one of the best is simply the atmosphere it has. No game in history has ever made you wish a nuclear apocalypse more than this one. weather it be the wide, desolate yet wild landscapes, ranging from scorching deserts to snowy mountains to vast lakes (not as peaceful as it sounds), or maybe the endless sub stories hidden throughout the many computer terminals that are present in all of the ruins scattered about the Mojave wasteland, this game is huge. not just in the size of the map, but in the stories that go along with it, because for all those people who think that this game has no character development, you are mistaken, for the character with the most depth and mystery is the Mojave Desert itself.

The undisputed champion of modern Fallout games and an amazing experience overall. With an expertly crafted world and well written story, Fallout: New Vegas gives the player a wide variety of opportunities to shape the future of the Mojave, be it through benevolent actions and righteous causes or through downright psychotic mass murder. You owe it to yourself to play this modern classic, even if technical issues might slow you down.

My review is too short so here are some extra words for padding.

Pros:

• Great story, perhaps better than 3's
• Interesting characters
• Some new additions to gameplay (sights, mods)
• Deep expansive open world
• Less drab graphics than 3's
• Great RPG elements
• Multiple factions

Cons:

• Not allot of differentiation from 3
• Still can't explore after completing game
• Graphics still look pretty bad

Verdict: Fallout NV is sort of a Fallout 3.5, but it is still great game to play that improves on a number of things. Still a good game.

8 /10.
