Fallout 4 for PC is a highly customisable action RPG with plenty of sandbox style freedoms. If you love tightly controlled and disciplined games, this may not be the one for you as you have a choice in just about everything you do, see and travel to, perfect for the mavericks amongst us who always wonder what is behind that rock, inside that disused – or is it? – building and who would much prefer to go off and explore the fantasy world in which they find themselves rather than be funnelled along a story arc, no matter how tightly plotted it is. About the Game To understand the premise of the world you will have to simultaneously project yourself forwards and backwards in time. Back to the 1950s to pick up their ideas of what the future would be like, and then forwards to 2287, taking with you much of the shiny chrome and leatherette vibe of 1950s diners, jukeboxes and drive-in theatres, and adding robotic house-keepers, jet-packs, and flying cars amongst many others. Loosely, the player – as male or female protagonist – witnesses the murder of their spouse and abduction of their child. After some time consuming cryogenics, the protagonist escapes the vault, designated ‘Sole Survivor’ and heads off, determined to track down their son and gain revenge for their partner’s murder. Pick a Side, Any Side Throughout the game you will come across four different factions and you choose which you want to support. The Brotherhood of Steel: As the macho sounding name implies, this faction is bursting with war ready heroic soldiers. Join up with them to battle synths, mutants and ghouls: the brotherhood’s aim is to eradicate all these beings from the face of the land. They are also anti-modern tech, gathering and hoarding early tech in order to save the city from corrupting influen
