Best wishes from... Bethesda
This card positively beams with good cheer, and the "Happy Holidays!" font is pleasingly comforting, like your favourite auntie's warm cardigan. One of the best.
Visuals | 8 | Pip boy's wide grin and cheerful face is always a welcome sight
Festiveness | 7 | He's got a Santa hat, but that's about it. It is a nice hat though
Composition | 7 | We hoped for something more evocative of Fallout's steampunk style
Effort | 7 | It's Pip boy, with a Santa hat, in a snowy field. Good, but not award winning
Score: 8
