I went into this with high expectations and my first impressions were that is was absolutely wonderful. The graphics are beautiful. The game is smooth. The locations are superb. However, a few hours in I'm very disappointed. This game is geared towards melee play. There is no ammunition for a ranged/VATS player. You won't find a decent gun anywhere anyway, or at least not in any place you can actually get to. Exploration is an exercise in punishment since virtually every location has a mob of enemies that you have no way to defeat with your 6 bullets. And good luck sneaking; even with the perk they'll notice you. I'm a Fallout veteran; I've played for thousands of hours in the Fallout Universe, I can't play this game. Even on Easy the game is punishingly difficult. When you make exploration unpleasant in a sandbox game, what's left? Not much, I'm afraid. It's too bad.
