Not what I expected

In Fallout: Shelter, you are a Vault Overseer. You must ensure that your dwellers are happy, you have to make sure everything is full - make sure you don't run out of power, food or water - and you must ensure that your shelter is safe for your dwellers to live in.

As a fan of the Fallout series on Xbox, I saw this on Steam and thought that I would grab it and see what it was like. I was expecting something a lot more like the original gaming series, maybe walking through the vault itself. It's not like that at all. It's very much a one dimensional game, with just the layout of your vault in front of you. However, there's a lot that can actually be done in this game and it exceeded the expectations when they dropped upon seeing it when I first opened the game.

This game isn't at all what I thought it would be like. It's a lot of strategy and being ahead of the curve, a lot of being mindful of resources and having to know when to send dwellers out, when to rush things, when to build things. There's a lot that needs to be considered at the same time. It's a little hard on this aspect, but it's actually really fun. I'm having a blast with it, and the achievements definitely make it worthwhile to play, if you're an achievement hunter. This isn't what I thought it would be, but it's a lot funner that I originally expected.

It's definitely a bit of fun and it's free to play on Steam, which is a total bonus!

It is not fun, not realistic, tiring, annoying, stressful, its scenario is not playable, Game does not allow you to play even if you insist to play. it is not 3D, not 2D only one dimension but it is tiring computer also.

Similar to Sims Games

A free to play game on the PS4 and it can be addicting and time consuming. Essentially, you are an overseer in an underground vault and are in charge of taking care of your guests for infinite time. This would be considered a God-like game, similar to Sims. Part of the Fallout series, this game is side scrolling and doesn't really have an end objective.

If you are a PS Plus member, you'll be given exclusive goods if you play on the PS4. The people in your vault have to do different jobs to keep the vault active and themselves alive; like cooking, running electric stations, water plants and even procreation. They must defend the vault against intruders and monsters too and there are even missions you can send people on.

The game is fun, but probably best played by teens and adults.
