Fallout London - Review @ GamingBolt

Fallout: London Review - London is Calling

It may not be the most optimized experience, but Team FOLON's long-awaited mod is a fun romp through post-apocalyptic London.

Fallout: London begins with the usual Fallout spiel – war unchanging, the world in ruins, etc. – but there’s no Vault to emerge from. You don’t venture into the wasteland to find a family member (thank heck), but rather answers and connections. The post-apocalyptic playground may still feature all the tenets of Fallout 4, from junk collecting and armor and weapon crafting to settlement building, but wrapped in the remnants of a completely different culture. London has fallen, and you have no idea who you are.

An amnesiac protagonist isn’t a new concept, yet it remains a solid enough mechanic to introduce players to the world while allowing them to shape their own story. The lack of a voiced protagonist furthers that goal – for all intents and purposes, you’re one of the people from the labs. Nothing is known about you or the scientists seemingly conducting experiments in a facility beneath The Shard. When a gang known as the Vagabonds breach it on an alleged supply run, you break free.

[...]

Final Verdict: GREAT
Fallout: London is immense in scale, at times almost impossibly so for a mod, and despite its technical issues, the attention to detail, plot, and 
atmosphere ultimately make it worth the trip.

Score: 8/10
