Is Fallout London Worth Your Time?

The highly animated Fallout London mod by Team FOLON is finally here. The mod is essentially a new Fallout game, introducing new quests, weapons, locations, and more. In our video breakdown, GameSpot goes over whether this fan-made mod merits a download.

Downloading Fallout London will completely overhaul Fallout 4. Therefore, playing this mod will require you to know Fallout 4 alongside all of its DLC, and if you want to play the normal Fallout 4 again, you’ll be forced to uninstall the mod.

The game itself starts like most Fallout games: You make a character and eventually leave an underground base. Once you reach the surface, you take a train that shows you what’s left of London.

As the name suggests, the mod takes place in London, the first time players have been outside the United States. Even though it’s a fan-made mod, it has the look and feel that most players have come to expect from the series. What’s nice about the mod is that it even has futuristic double-decker buses, red phone booths, and even real-world historical landmarks.

The studio made some changes to make Fallout London stand out from the original. For example, Bottle Caps are not the primary currency used. Instead, the game uses Tube Tickets. Fallout London’s early-game is more linear, but the city is dense overall. It sacrifices extensive open areas and replaces them with smaller landscapes that can often feel like mazes, and finding locations requires some legwork that may turn away some players.
