Fallout: New Vegas Review

Fallout: New Vegas came out back in 2010. At the time, it seemed like it might be less popular with fans because it was less mainstream. New Vegas is, after all, a spin-off of the successful Fallout franchise instead of being a more direct continuation of something like Fallout 3.

However, Fallout: New Vegas has proven the test of time. Many fans now consider it to be the best in the franchise. Are these fans correct, or have they been wandering the irradiated Vegas desert too long?

Let’s find out!

Not Reinventing the Wheel

Fallout: New Vegas came out two years after Fallout 3. And the new game looks and controls exactly like Fallout 3 did. This may be disappointing for fans who wanted something bold and completely new. But it’s reassuring for someone who wants a more familiar gameplay experience.

That experience focuses on completing one main story while getting pleasantly distracted by all of the side quests and the open world environment. If ever there was a game where you could just spend a day walking around and discovering something new, this game is it!
