**SOUND/AUDIO 9/10**  
  
Probably one of my favorite, or my favorite indeed, is how true the audio/SFX are to the fallout franchise. Although, I do miss the sound of pulling out your pip boy, there are those fleeting moments when you interact with the interface, you hear it when you listen closely. This goes the same for when you make some small achievements here and there, the 1940s radio music cannot be mistaken. Kudos to the additional special effects when interacting with different rooms as well - they sound so good especially when you're playing with your headset.  
  
  
**VISUALS 8/10**  
  
I like how they really did make use of basing the characters like they did in the main game's cartoons. It's a cute touch. My only gripe is that, the game does experience some lag when the Vault gets bigger and it makes it difficult for me to press the mystery man. And I'm not talking about just looking for him, there was a time I was actively pressing on him 3 times without being able to claim anything (probably due to some elements blocking him). This happens multiple times and it can get very frustrating especially when you're in desperate need for caps.  
  
**INTERFACE 10/10**  
  
Convenient as everything is well layouted and anything is easier to find. Especially when you're new to the franchise and you're not sure what SPECIAL means. The rooms have been labeled with their corresponding skill type best for the jobs thus making it easier to understand what are the stats' significance. As it is a point & click game, there isn't much issues to delve on regarding this matter.  
  
**GAMEPLAY 7/10**  
  
Playing the role as an Overseer sounds like a task you would want to test yourself - of whether or not you can pull it off. But as most management games go, some of these tasks could be repetitive. On the plus side, Fallout Shelter gives you a chance to venture into the wasteland yourself and loot for goods. It's just the palette cleanser you need from the constant radroach infestations, raider attacks or even just figuring out who is best for what job. But as the game progresses later and that the vault becomes self-sufficient, you could start to find it difficult to even pay attention to it anymore.  
  
**CONCLUSION 8.5/10**  
  
If you're looking for a game to play whilst waiting for your next chance to jump back into the wasteland, try Fallout Shelter to help keep your withdrawal in check. It's F2P game and not as demanding on your time since it could be played on idle and best on mobile. You can take this baby anywhere you go and even keep it next to you while doing other things just as a real overseer would - constantly managing mutliple tasks and who's to say you can't do it IRL too?
