I played this game when it first game out and it muted my entire Xbox to the point that the only fix was a hard reset of the system. I only rented the game then and I promised to never buy it again- but years later when I saw it on sale on Steam for 9$ I decided to pick it up just to see how was coming along.

I've spent about half of my play time ignoring everything because I was so immersed in decorating my little house. There's so much freedom to the base making element, and as you unlock more and more decor/utility options you'll only want to keep finding and making more.

I have a pet bear that chills in the back room of my cabin, a lil' ray of sunshine that plays music on my front porch, a robo dog that fetches stuff for me & life is good. 🌞

That said, when I first started playing on my Steam Deck it was absolutely unplayable because there's no option to change the font size OR the color(other than for your pip boy). Most of the game is yellow tinted, but Bethesda STILL chose yellow to be the default font color. I was absolutely uninterested in all of the story because I couldn't even ******* read it.
But, I ended up downloading a simple HUD resizer & since then I haven't had an issue at all.
The story is sub-par compared to the older games, but still much better than anything that was in the base game at release.

All in all, I'm very glad I got this game and gave it a second chance. I haven't been glued to a game like this in a while & I can't wait to watch it develop further.
I love my little cabin in the woods, I love my Yogi-Bear and I love the friends I've made along the way while rebuilding Appalachia. 🖤
