The best one-liner I can use to describe this game is "Fallout 4 requiers no skills." Both because it is easy, and because the Skill system that many fans have been playing with for years, has been replaced. If you are unfamiliar with the fallout franchise, then you will not mind the change as much, but veterens of the series might see this as a turn off.

But the game at it's core is good. The gun play is fun, there are builds for every playstyle, endless crafting potential, base building at all your settlements to defend against enemies, and much more. The game still has the fun wit and charm that comes with the atmosphere of all Fallout games, part of which is the reason why it is one of the best franchises in many peoples opinions.

On the other hand though, the in game talking choices are pretty poor. You get 4 vague descritions for options, and the one you pick might not even be the one you though it was. The weapons can be modded to be anything you want, but the actual number of weapons is very low in comparison to previous games. Also the game has terrbile scaling, as it becomes hardly a challenge to take on a group of super mutants, while being naked and only using fist weapons on the hardest difficulty (I have a full playthrough of this and got bored at around level 30ish. This is pre DLC launch with the new Survival difficulty.)

Overall in my opinion, the pros out weigh the cons on all fronts still.

The Pros being:

• Simple to learn and get into for new player
  
• Various playstyles and fun ways to murder
  
• NPCs with depth and character
  
• Crafting and base building with endless potential (and soon robots to craft)
  
• You can get a robot girlfriend
  
  and the Cons being:
  
• Game stops being a challenge after a certain point, thus making it less fun.
  
• Dialog options are too few and too vague
  
• Only a few different base weapons to choose from.
  
• Another Settlement always needs your help.
  
• Your robot girlfriend can reject you.
  
  The game is a good buy now, and will be a better one once all the DLC is released. If you are patient, wait for the GOTY edition with all the DLC and stuff.
