honestly a pretty good game. However, I do have trouble with my dwellers happiness. Once you have low resource on any of food, water, or power, it can be incredibly difficult to get back up in that stuff. Also, regarding the events and experimental vaults, I wouldn't bother with them. Anyway, pretty good game, definitely deemed worthy of 4 stars.

Game crashed as soon as I tried to enter a side quest in the wasteland. Now it keeps crashing everytime I try to load my vault. Paid for the season pass, now I can't even open my vault. Tried clearing the cache, the data, and uninstalled and reinstalled. Loaded my vault from the cloud and it keeps crashing. Multiple people have said the same thing, still no fix!

The game is fun, but it leans very heavily into paying into the game to feel like you're making progress. I didn't mind spending a few bucks supporting the game until it became clear that they are dishonest about how points are used/ costs. I noticed this especially in the battle pass. It said it would cost 10 Nuka Cola to advance, but then proceeded to use 18 of them.
