Where I come from: casual gamer, no other Fallout played before this one, loved Skyrim and Witcher3; I need freedom in my actions and an open world to explore. But that is my main negative about this game: the open world is no fun for me! The wasteland is not interesting enough, you basically see wrecked cars, ruins and a broken motorway. For me it got boring very soon. Other critics: Only 2 main cities worth mentioning, thats too few. (didnt reach the Institute, dont know whats up there). Having a companion is quite cool, but he/she/it is running into your line of sight constantly, very annoying. Ammo is always scarce (only in the beginning?); compared to Witcher 3: there you always have your sword and you always can use magic spells; thats more fun to play) Base building is great in theory. But the mechanics to place objects with controller/keyboard is very very cumbersome. Also this whole thing is of not much use, at least for the main story. I never died so often in the first hours of a game. I got killed by grenades (or flying bugs) like 20 times. Summarizing one might say that I am not made for the wasteland, I am not up for the challenge ;-) There are of course positive aspects of this game, you can read about them in other reviews. For me, the game world just didnt catch me, so I stopped playing after about 15 hours.
