    After 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.

    Fallout: 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.

    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.

    Great game. Good writing, different playstyles and numerous sidequests to complete.
