Fallout 4

Fallout 4 is one of the games which I'm on the fence about. This game revolves around the Lone wanderer exploring the remnants of Boston in a world ravaged by nuclear bombardment. Your goal is to find your son, who was taken from the vault just when the bombs started to fall. However, you have the freedom to complete whatever goals or quests that you want to do first. This first person shooter game also has a outpost system where you can create outposts for survivors to join.
