With that merit comes the fact that it also includes some of the most powerful and dangerous enemies to grace the nuclear-scarred wastes. Say what you will, but the enemies in Fallout 4 are undoubtedly the best designed in the entire franchise. Nightmarish mutated animals and insects that haunt the stagnant wilds of the wasteland. Deathclaws confidently stalking any foolhardy adventurer brainless enough to wander into their territory. Super Mutants sporting armor made from pieces of debris and relicts of the world before the Great War.
The spark that seemed to make Fallout 3 such an engrossing experience didn't seem to be present in the latest iteration of the Fallout franchise and the games reputation suffers to this day.ĭespite the lack of enthusiasm for Fallout 4, one thing cannot be denied: the enemy design in the game is magnificent. Although the game featured extremely refined shooting mechanics, an inspired wasteland to explore, and, even in this day and age, an amazing amount of interaction and interactivity with between the player and the game world, players and critics were generally unimpressed. Following the game changing Fallout 3 and subsequent cult hit Fallout: New Vegas, the bar was set pretty high for Fallout 4 and a lot of gamers would say that Bethesda missed.
Fallout 4 was met with mediocre reception.
