- RPG Site8.0After how successful Fallout 3 was, more of the same gameplay is something that was expected and is actually pretty welcome. It's a shame that right now there are so many bugs and technical problems breaking the game on all three formats, as that's enough to prevent it from being a better game than its predecessor in my eyes. If you love games with a great story or loved Fallout 3 and can look past the bugs, New Vegas is a must-play.
- Push Square7.0Fallout: New Vegas cannot be faulted for its ambitions — it is a tighter, more focused game than its predecessor. Compulsive gamers will get hundreds of hours out of its vast open world, which is rich with interesting characters and things to interact with. The problem is, New Vegas creaks under the weight of its own achievements.
- PS Lifestyle7.0Sadly, I’m still not sure if putting in the hours is worth the effort just yet because of the random crashing that occurs, and that can really break your patience if you forgot to make that last important save file. The critical side of me feels that this game could have used more polish, especially since the game engine has already been out long enough for the developers to work out the kinks, which they clearly didn’t do.
- GameSpot7.5It's unfortunate that it suffers from so many bugs and other inconsistencies. Role-playing veterans expect glitches in games this complex, but this one far exceeds tolerable limits for these kinds of issues. And yet as busted as it is, Fallout: New Vegas is periodically awesome and consistently compelling. If you've got the stomach for some technological lunacy, this is one gamble that will pay off.
- Video Gamer9.0It's fair to say that Obsidian has never really had a defining success. For years it's been the studio that gives us "almost but not quite" games - from the unrealised ambition of Knights of the Old Republic 2, to the scrappy mess of Alpha Protocol. Well, that reputation dies today. Despite the numerous bugs, New Vegas is a magnificent RPG, one that stands head and shoulders above its predecessor. More importantly, it's also the game that Fallout fans have been waiting for. Van Buren can finally rest in peace.
- Game Trailers8.6Fallout: New Vegas is a hugely satisfying game that manages to put you into a believable world that you have a great deal of influence over. If you loved Fallout 3, there's no reason to avoid Sin City, and if this is your first time in the wasteland, well, come on in, grab a gun, loot a corpse, and get ready for one hell of an adventure. Just be sure to keep an eye out for bugs--the most deadly ones aren't always the radioactive kind.

Take a deep breath, be patient and play.
This is my first time playing this game and my first time finishing a Fallout game. Since the beginning I have had at least 10 crashes... 1 of them wiped out 2 saves, 1 hour of my progress. Every time I get a save crashed, I can only manually restart, from the button of my PC and then try another save. I then discovered that I can close from Task Manager if I have the window on another monitor, but no one should have this problem. On Steam Deck it works fine but sorry, I don't think anyone can afford 500 euros for a 14 year old 20 hour long game. The graphics and technical details have aged but it's enough to make you realise what's happening on screen. Doesn't require bethesda launcher but it's still broken. Progress moves slowly but the story is interesting. You can not make all the choices you want: Walking to the mission, I saw 2 gangs fighting in the street. I tried to help one of them and both gangs attacked me. In one of the side missions, I wanted to help a group of hostages escape after being captured by the bandits. I went to that place, looked at the bandits, freed the hostages without any conversation and the bandits just left. Many of Bethesda's games have mission problems that make no sense. What I really like about it is that there are useful items that you find by looking around, you don't have to search for "Press the E button to search for items" every time. Although the game is good, especially for the story, the fact that I can't play it on a normal computer gives me a headache and makes me stop playing.
