Fallout 4: Post-Apocalyptic Fun For Those Who Seek It

Fallout 4, released in 2015, is one of the best games I have played to date. Coming from someone who had never played any of the previous installments, I fell in love with the world as if I had been playing for years. The basic premise of these games is that sometime in the late 1940s, our nuclear war with other countries escalated and nukes were dropped on our country. Anyone who could make it to deep underground shelters survived and waited over a thousand years in cryogenic freezers for the world to be safe to walk in again. The goal now was to rebuild society and basically start from scratch again, but with the radiation the world was now different. There were monsters running around and the landscapes became barren. This is now the world that you, the player, explore. In this game you are a father looking for his son, who was abducted before he was unfrozen. Throughout the game you explore a post-nuked version of Boston and meet many types of characters along the way, while listening to a portable radio playing nonstop tunes of the era. An energetic reporter, a cyborg detective, a trusty owner-less dog, and more befriend you and journey alongside you. There is so much to discover, so many different paths to take, and so many moments to behold. While this isn't a game for everyone, and requires many hours of investment, I can assure you it is worth every penny.
