When I'm playing TOW I get Fallout 4 vibes sometimes, its kind of pacey as a game, just like Fallout, its not just action all the time
But I think TOW has a vibe of its own, the alien landscape and wildlife give to the game a very distinct and unique feeling
Also the world and writing in general is very different to the new fallout's. I can see some similarities with Fallout 1 though
In no way its a mediocre game, it is just made on a more humble budget, I'm sure all game developers wish had the money (and herefore time) Bethesda has for making their games
