If you compare it with the previous part, it comes out somehow ambiguous. On the one hand, New Vegas had a longer and more interesting plot, but the game noticeably lost its atmosphere. In Fallout 3, the plot was completed in a few hours, but here there is an addictive action and four options for the development of events for different factions, which, however, are not so different from each other. Side quests have also become noticeably more interesting and varied.
The Mojave Wasteland is truly a wasteland, with one and a half buildings located on it. The most interesting place here is the REPCONN headquarters, with a bunch of doors, terminals and robots, with a museum and a secret weapon - the only interesting building that you want to explore and explore. The rest are ordinary one-story houses with nothing interesting in them.
The game is made in nasty and annoying yellow and brown colors. Perhaps this makes it closer to the canons of the series, to the dirty yellow first parts, but it looks ugly.
There is no smell of atmospheric music in the spirit of the third part. The city itself, New Vegas, does not make the right impression - three and a half boring casinos, the NKR embassy and a small store.
If the main thing for you is the plot, then welcome to New Vegas. If you want to feel the atmosphere of post-apocalyptic America, return to the previous part.
