    It’s just a clunky reskin of fo4 with no depth. I’ve put about 50 hrs in at this point & will probably continue for a bit because it’s a comforting loot cycle that pleases my lizard brain. It really lacks the feeling exploration possibilities that Skyrim & fallout worlds have. The bugs, UI, bland emptiness, and shit tier maps are why I wouldn’t recommend…but is a decent time kill if you’ve enjoyed their previous games

      Same, I pirated it to give it a try, put in a few dozen hours to make sure I’m not missing anything but left pretty disappointed tbh. It has a strong interesting opening but the more you try to get into the nitty gritty details, the more shallow and flawed the game becomes until you’re just doing chores for the sake of it. Some people find enjoyment in these chores but it ain’t me, maybe in a few years it becomes better. I got phantom liberty instead and am having a blast there instead

          When I say opening / beginning I don’t mean the 20 minutes of prologue, I mean the first ~5 hours of game showing new mechanics and worlds to you, making the illusion that there’s lot of unique fun content to do. Eventually it all started to look like same formulaic shallow crap to me and the game didn’t live up to that initial impression of freedom, exploration and progression, it’s half baked in everything.

            The game didn’t open up for me until about 8-10 hours in and felt really weird and restricted during that time. No idea what impression of freedom, exploration and progression you’re talking about here because the beginning does not give you anything like that at all with how it makes you follow the very boring main quest.

        Same happened to me, I pirated it to try it out and after an hour or two I got bored and called it quits. I returned to it once more but after maybe 5 hours I just uninstalled it.

      Verbatim my opinion. There’s nothing enjoyable here folks unless you like turning off your brain, fast travelling to planets and 100% search missions.
