Its strength is atmosphere and discovery: the Capital Wasteland rewards wandering, and the metro tunnels connecting it create a genuine sense of a broken city. VATS makes combat readable. The main quest is thin and railroads hard at the end, and the green filter over everything flattens the visual variety across dozens of hours.
