Whispering Hills - a Silent Hill overhaul for Fallout 4

Mod review

This mod is really unnerving for most, but I do find enjoyment in playing this beautiful work. The enemies are well balanced, often times too fast than you can ever run, but it's all okay.

Whispering Hills is one of best mods that you must download. It gives you the chills, gives you the right amount of horror in it that you can't stop looking around you... making sure no Lying Figures are there to spit acid on you, or Sirenhead chasing you like a madman.

More enemy spawn option and enemy types (preferably, the infamous Pyramid Head) would be suffice for the mod to make its own way to be its own complete overhaul -- just like Frost or Horizon. I feel that most of the enemies I encountered are very lacking and had to wait for the Otherworld attacks to make it rather... crowded.

All in all, I enjoyed this one and would not mind to see further expansion to this beautiful mod.

Fallout 4

Game review

Fallout 4 is a game that I will say that "it's not bad, but it's not good either." Basically, the main questline is as similar as to that in Fallout 3, but it's pretty linear for most of it. Having to spend 1000 hours on this game, mostly with mods, it made the game "somewhat enjoyable" and "it should be like this," but applies only at certain points in the game.

I haven't seen perks that so unbalanced that when you reached level 14 or so, you already get less rads from eating pre-war food and beverages and giving you waterbreathing, also in the Survival mode, there are more chances you find legendary gear.

The only "good" thing is this game, aside from base game mechanics, is the Far Harbor DLC.

The Fog makes the adventure in the Far Harbor quite a journey and the choices that you made actually made some grim consequences, with one or two out of three available factions laying in the dirt, or trying to get the Acadian Synths and the Far Harbor fishers stand down and end their quarrel peacefully.

As for Nuka-World... well, it's just you being the Overboss of three Nuka-World raider groups and do some collectible hunter all around the Nuka-World and an optional Raider version of what Preston told you to do.

Automatron, however... you just try to vanquish the Mechanist because the Mechanist made rogue robots that roam the Commonwealth and then after that, you just made endless robots to aid your settlement needs (defense measures, supply lines, etc.) or as pack rats and occasional brute of a robot to deal with stronger enemies.

Verdict: Consider it.

I would recommend you to get this game while on sale. It's not really worthed on its net price of $29.99 -- it does not fill the void, but sure it keeps you entertained, especially with mods like Frost or Horizon. Just think of it as Skyrim LE with streamlined bugfixing and less crashes.
