PROS Great atmosphere and overall design. There's 3 radio stations, two have custom radio hosts with music from FO4 and the other has all original music which IMO are all certified bops. There's tons of places to explore crammed with environmental storytelling and lots of interesting collectibles. I really like how the developers have used the environment to conceal really good loot/unique items rather than just sticking them in a big box at the end of the tunnel. You've gotta keep both eyes peeled everywhere you go. Despite the issues I mention below, I am always very impressed when people can gets mods this large and complex running as (relatively) well as it has been for me. There's a running freaking train... like actually on the tracks you can just hop on and ride. I've gone through the loop quite a few times lol. CONS There's quite a bit of hassle to get the game up and running, especially if you own FO4 on Steam. After about an hour of setup my game is mostly stable but I do get infinite loading screens every now and then as well as random CTDs. Credit where it's due, the devs provide step by step instructions that worked for me. By far my biggest complaint is the writing. A lot of quests feel very shallow, you're expected to make decisions that have major ramifications on the world and you're given short expositions dumps about each faction last minute which don't feel any more complex than "we're the good guys because we're good/we're the bad guys because we're bad." Lots of dungeons are confusing to navigate to the point the devs had to put giant arrows all over the place showing you where to go. Also, Valuzon. Seeing Valuzon logos everywhere kills all immersion for me. CONCLUSION Just get it. Put the work in, take a couple hours to get it running stable and play it, it's worth it. Have fun running around the irradiated fever dream of post apocalypse London that these developers have clearly baked with lots of passion and love.
I got this game for free years ago and it sat on my hard drive for most of that time untouched. When I finally did get around to it I was sad I hadn't played it sooner.
