The Survival Mode is a masterpiece
I played this game for the first time on Steam and then here on Gog. The normal game is good, but nothing special: it's an average action with some Rpg elements, a decent gunplay, a mediocre plot and some annoying bugs (among these,the loading times are probably the worst). I can define it as a mixture between Oblivion and Stalker, so nothing more than a ''3 stars'' for me. If you want a real challenge you must play the survival mode, it's really well done and realistic. You need to take care of food, water, sleep, sicknesses ecc. The enemies are much more lethal, you cannot quicksave or manually save and you genuinely feel as a poor piece of thrash who must save himself everyday rather than trying to solve the misteries of the Commonwealth. It means that you don't have the objective to save your son no more: first of all you need to survive, and this isn't easy at all because the map is full of enemies which can oneshot you from distance with nuclear rocket launchers, invisible mines which can tear you apart in a nanosecond and infections which can kill you in a few hours if you don't have the proper medicines. In particular Far Harbor is a nightmare: very engaging with terrible enemies, you often lose yourself in the fog and even finding a place to sleep for the night is challenging. Beside these things, you need to know that there's not the ''TES-style'' autolevel of the enemies: for example, you are a third level boy walking happy in the countryside listening to your favourite radio and suddenly a f***ing deathclaw/giant radscorpion/yao Guai comes out from the terrain and kills you with a single blow. I strongly recommend to try this mode, it's really worth your time, trust me.
Is this helpful to you?
