*Put up 28 hours of gameplay into it and I have only explored the north-western part of the map down to diamond city. The whole shebang about the map being small is totally false because there is more accessible area than F3 had, in my opinion. To that add a lot of ruined buildings that you can explore or enter.

*The graphics are very good, not the main focus of the game but still a good eyecandy (Unless you are a nutjob for the latest-future gen graphics and are a spoiled brat that can't accept something that looks nice but has to be uber giga nice...)


*Scavanging is a thing now! Something that many miss out in the negative reviews as it seems since this is what I was missing in the previous fallouts. It is a post apocalyptic setting, items and materials are scarse so every aluminium can has worth now, every telephone is worth picking up, even rustry trays or lamps are worth picking up now unlike in F3 or NV where you had junk items without purpouse really.


*Combat is first person shooter ish.....but then again it was the same in F3 and NV with VATS still being very helpful, if not more helpful than in the previous two fallout titles.


*Customisation of weapons and armor. Oh yes, yes yes yes! Taking all the screws, duck tapes, aluminium etc to make a new weapon mod to have it fire faster....extended clip...have a more powerful punch. A feature that makes you seek out junk to have the materials to make survival easier and your enemies a bigger red spot on the wall.


*Settlement building. A feature that makes you stop from exploring the world or killing baddies to just lay back and do some good for the people in a sense that you make a community thrive knowing that they will turn the wasteland into an oasis~



*All in all, while some features are 'dumbed down' (as people say it) from previous titles there are other new features that add to this game's worth. It is fallout, it is the post apocalyptic setting that we all love to explore and live through.
