More about Fallout 4
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 50 percent of the 8,788 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, currency); the score docks it lightly for that.
27.8 hours to finish it, 160 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 5.8 times the campaign.
430,936 reviews stand behind that percentage.
Deck Verified, so no launch options and no controller remapping before it runs.

What players say
it's useless without mods, sadly. you pay for the game and either get super long loading screens on 60 fps. or its unplayable on higher fps. F U bethesta for not fixing this. didnt even fix it on the next gen update! otherwise i would recomend it. because the game itself is awesome, when i played it on x box one, back in the day

The dev's keep breaking the game for modders and stealing modders original content and selling it for profit
I finished Fallout 4, and honestly, by the time I reached the end and started clearing out the side content I had left, I was getting bored. A lot of it felt like collecting weapons and checking things off a list, so I eventually stopped. But let me rewind a bit. I expected more from it, if I'm being honest. It's still a good game, though. For me, it sits somewhere between Fallout 3 and New Vegas. The story is good...
