After playing a 100+ hours on PS4 and now slowly moving to PC this like many other reviews is a complicated one. I have been a long time fan of the series since it first released and have played version on some console / pc since then. So for me this game has been a super fun experience for me enough to buy it on PC and keep on playing. Its been my game for COVID-19, so I will give you the good and bad and you can make your judgement based on what my experience has been thus far.

BAD (and sometimes downright ungly)

- The launch was a complete disaster, so much that it made me delete the game off my PS4 never to return until now. It was buggy, bad, and simply not fun. The world with out NCP's felt unfinished and uninteresting. Bethesda deserves every negative review going forward because of the mega belly flop they preformed with a an awesome story line . Sometimes you gamble big and lose big

-Post launch bugs are still in this game, you will hate them and learn to live with them. Hot fixes are coming out so they are at least trying to listen.

-Even though I own it - fallout 1st has some huge quality of life items ( portable tent and scrap box) that really give you a huge advantage in the game. My hope is that they offer some sort of olive branch to new players or ones who simply dont want to pay a monthly free for this feature. But for now it is what it is so its up to you to make that choice.

-The Atom Store has mostly cosmetic times that you can earn through game time but some of these skins should be put in as items you can get through game play.

-End game grind / game play needs some big improvements - Scourchbeast Queen and Wendigo Collosus really need buffs because they are loot pinattas that just get nuked - Gold Bullion and Caps have hard caps so its hard to amass any wealth. - Looking forward to seeing what they improve on this.

The Good

- A massive map, that has a lot to explore. Areas are well designed and really cool, simply put its fun to walk around and once you encounter, deathclaws, mothmen and other NPC's it becomes even cooler

-The perk system even with its major flaws leads to some interesting builds and its simple to grasp.

-Game play is simple- it takes you less than five minuets to learn what you need to know and get right into it. For me its just a fun relaxing game.

-Wastelanders brought life to what was a dead game - its by no means perfect but its a different experience now and is now the product that should have been offered on launch. - The story is fun, and gives you purpose to get to level 50 and with all of the other NPC's that surround you it enhances the good parts of 76.

-This game is what you make of it, if you have hesitations then stay away from it. If you are a LONG time fallout fan like me you will learn to really enjoy this game despite its flaws but it is not for everyone. I am more than forgiving than other players and its easy to understand why people still have sour grapes. The launch will still be the worst gaming experience I have every had. If you are on the fence just watch and read every review - give it some time before you pull the trigger.

A completely unpolished game that feels more Alpha than ready for release. From bugs to just straight out broken talents and points that don't count for anything I am really getting a Fallout 76 vibe at this moment. It could be good but once the new league comes out for Path of Exile and Diablo 4 is released, you can shelf this game right at the back of the ARPG backlog

Can't get a refund so I am gonna keep playing OpieOP

Edit:

After playing POE for a few days, I have decided to wash my hands of wolcen. Nothing about this game is even close to other APRGs and because other games are better / free - this game is Fallout 76 all over again.

Sad because it had a lot of promise.

I have been playing games my entier life since I first laid eyes on a Joust machine when I was 5 years old. I have played a LOT of video games and this one has completely taken my breath away.

Why you should own this game:

- Priced right
- Rewarding feeling when you finally beat a level
- Amazing sound track
- Little demand for computer power, so if you are not fortunate enough to own a good PC you are not left out
- Super increadble character desgin, backgrounds and animations that make you feel your in an early era chartoon.

Why you should play this game:

Its simple enough to learn and difficult enough to keep you playing. Think of Contra but with better controlls and enviroments.

I havent felt so good about a game since Shovel Kinght. Just take the time to play it and even if you quit with in an hour the overall design of this game is so good that it is worth every penny you pay for it.
