It’s surprisingly complex, and it’s implemented brilliantly, with an easy to use interface. This settlement isn’t just a simple fixed location where you can rest up, it’s a fully working township in which you can build structures, place equipment, build power grids, and much more.

Very early on you’ll get the chance to set up your own settlement with a small group of people. This is even without taking into account a major new feature, one that’s a huge distraction, in a good way. In fact, it was over 20 hours until I even moved on to the second story mission, so busy is the world, and so numerous are the quests. What’s more, your quest list will build up in no time, and from the off you’ll be swamped with things to do alongside the main story thread.

The game gets you right into the action quickly, and it doesn’t hide its new features away behind hours of play.
