With SimpleGreen – a PS4 exclusive – or ReGrowth Overhaul – for XB1 and PC – you can change this. Wasteland or not, the relentless drudgery of Fallout‘s various shades of brown can get somewhat monotonous after a while. I guarantee you, a Fallout game has never been as exciting.

From out of nowhere, Dogmeat jumped on him a split-second before he fired and ripped his throat out. He produced a pipe pistol, and leveled it at me while I was reloading. I was facing off against a raider, and I emptied the last barrel of my sawed-off into his chest as I rounded a corner, crippling one arm and almost killing him. It changes the way you play.įollowers become useful rather than annoyances. Its brutal, it’s punishing, but encounters with groups of enemies are exhilarating.

Now the proud owner of a PS4, I spied the very same game going for cheap a few weeks back, and couldn’t resist. I enjoyed it, I completed it, I clocked hundreds of hours, and then I left it be. However, I bought Fallout 4 on release, for PC, and haven’t returned to it since 2015.

For me, the franchise began in 2008, when Bethesda released the Washington DC-based third installment. I, like most people born in the late nineties, have never played the original Fallout games.
