It’s the lonely strum of a guitar over a campfire. It’s the heat shimmer coming off the I-15. It’s seeing the silhouette of New Vegas on the horizon—the glow of the Lucky 38 acting like a false star. Obsidian understood that a desert isn't empty; it’s quiet . And in that quiet, every sound matters: the rattle of a bark scorpion, the click of a landmine, the smooth jazz of Mr. New Vegas telling you somebody loves you. Yes, the shooting mechanics feel like they were coded by a pack of feral ghouls. You can’t aim down sights properly without a mod, and the VATS system sometimes glitches out so hard you spin 360 degrees and shoot the sky.

If you’ve never played it, go buy it. If you have, it’s time for another run. Try a melee-only explosives build. You won't regret it. It’s the lonely strum of a guitar over a campfire
But I don't care.
