    The negative bandwagon led by YouTubers and diehard Fallout fans have skewed perspective and opinions of this game for the most part. The game is flawed but far from the 'cash grab', 'dumpster fire' or 'unplayable mess' many make it out to be. Any offline Fallout title would be much less of a strategical risk for Bethesda as opposed to trying something completely new that can fail horrible, as it just might.

    Bethesda's biggest mistake in attempting an online multiplayer game of this scope might have been picking the universe of Fallout. The title implies this might be a Fallout story and dialogue driven RPG, yet it is anything but that. This is not a traditional Fallout game in any way or form. There are some NPCs in the form of robots but they are few and far between. There is no dialogue, no choices to be made and no consequence of action - all staples of all Fallout games before this one.

    That being said, the game behind the Fallout front it is actually quite enjoyable. Contrary to many stories the performance is pretty solid across the board and framerates are higher than Fallout 4 while offering much more detail in draw distance and small details. '

    Bugs have become a staple of any Bethesda game and I have to say it was a lot better than I expected. During the beta there were some glaring issues with the game speeding up on my 240hz screen but they fixed this before release - although they capped it to 60fps now, creating a whole new issue with disgruntled PC players. One bugged quest is the only real bug I encountered beyond that, though there are supposedly quite a few quests that cannot be completed at this time.

    There is a large amount of content to be found. The map is by far the largest in any modern Bethesda game (starting from Morrowind, that is) and the environmental storytelling - terminals, holotaps, notes, etc - is up to par with what we have seen from Bethesda in previous titles. There is a huge amount of stories to be found in this world. A lot of quests tie into this and though some of them feel like hollow fetch quests, there are plenty that actually immerse and interest the player in the underlying story.

    I do wonder what target audience Bethesda had with this game. Most traditional Fallout fans are definitely not among them, which is for a large part the cause of the public outcry against this game. The game at time leaves you wondering - 'What exactly is this'? - to quote Bethesda themselves. It is unique in its style - but maybe it's unique because hardly anyone actually wants this. By its marketing, it almost seems they wanted to target the Fortnite audience with this game but I can hardly see the average Fortnite player playing Falllout 76, which is pretty slow-paced and non-competitive in comparison.

    Personally, I had a lot of fun with the many beta hours and the first day of gameplay. It plays a lot like Fallout 4 in terms of combat and building and the multiplayer side of the game can be mostly ignored if you want. The added benefit of strolling the wastes with a friend or partner is great but the events and PvP hardly add anything solid to the game.

    I would recommend this game to players who have no great affinity with storiytelling in games and like to play casual shooters or building games with friends. For any Fallout fan who wants dialogue, story, and consequence of action - this game is not for them. But the many 0 reviews on this page will say enough about that.    … Expand

    World size is better than Fallout 4, but quests are fair and i feel no "fallout". There is no friendly NPCs, so world looks empty. World activities (events) are strange and looks like "fifth dog leg". I still hope that DLC and patches will change situation

    People exploit the crap out of this bug fest of a game and Bethesda is wasting their time banning people that "talk bad". Its actually easy to level up legitimately by simply exploring and doing a few quests.

    At its current state id say stay away. Only buy if it is 15 euros or less as its simply a reskin mod of fo4 which I have also played for 700 hours. I also played the fallout series since Fallout 2.

    I do not recognise Bethesda anymore, and at this point I will stay away from all their games.    … Expand

    A glorious mess. Audiovisually enternaining with the intrigue of exploration contrasted by bugs, bad design decisions and constant nerfing. As if the design goal was to prevent players from getting strong, powerful, rich and well equipped.

As if the design goal was to prevent players from getting strong, powerful, rich and well equipped.

    I didn't miss NPCs and their life story and liked the terminal/robot/holo way of getting to the point and issuing the next quest. Discovering locations is exciting but there is no "cleared" marker and practically one is expected to return for more scavenge.

    Ballistic weapons felt underpowered, not a decent sniper rifle like my all-time favorite New Vegas Anti-Materiel rifle. Melee on the other hands feels very effective: even without building for one, using a legendary super sledge wrecks most enemies pretty quickly. Perk cards are okay but I liked Fallout 4's approach where I could have all the perks I wanted at level 80: hoarding, damage improvements, defenses, crafting, etc. at once. Instead, limited points and card swapping.

    Camps and workshops make little sense. Camps despawn and likely won't respawn upon login due to location conflicts. Workshops provide so little resources (just nerfed) that you have to take pick them up periodically or they stop producing.

    It's too easy to get overencumbered and thus kissing goodbye to fast-travel. Living like that for weeks makes you appreciate the landscape and hate the middle section of the map as there are very few ramps leading up to it. This comes very annoying when there is a quest stage sending you between the regions or a timed event you won't be able to reach in time on foot.

    PvP doesn't seem to be worth it and should have been a separate mode entirely, maybe after one completes the main story and is at least level 50 (the max level for weapons also) so there everybody has an equal start and build/skill is the dominant factor.

    There are several dozen major bugs (too much damage bug, stats and cards not working properly bug, uncompletable quests, etc.) so in order to avoid the frustration the early birds have suffered through, I recommend waiting for 6 months and far more impactful patches at least.    … Expand

    On the good side, the world design is outstanding: the map is huge and varied, and there are sights to take the breath away. (No spoilers, but there's a certain bit of monorail infrastructure, in particular . . .) It's just plain fun to stomp around Appalachia. Also, the gameplay is all right, about as good as that in Fallout 4, though VATS is radically changed. I played the game for a while at launch, then again after the recent Wastelanders updated, and I have to say Bethesda have done a credible job of shoehorning some interesting narrative into the game.

    On the bad side, my main objection is to the ever-increasing pressure to spend more real money just to be able to play the game. At launch, the Atomic Shop carried only cosmetic items, as originally advertised. Returning to the game, I find that one of the most basic game mechanics - repairing weapons and armor - is now dependent on micro-transactions. It is possible to earn Atoms in-game, but it would be a real grind to earn enough to be able to afford Repair Kits sufficient to to keep up with the rate of deterioration of weapons and armor. If you have a full set of power armor you need to repair, you would need six repair kits (at 50 Atoms a piece, with discounts only if bought in bulk) . . . and simply building more armor is not really an option, because basic materials (screws in particular) are hard to come by.

    In short, the game is diverting for a while, even enjoyable, but loses all appeal once it comes down to a choice of futile grinding or spending (even more) real money.    … Expand

Whether it's slap system which encourages griefing, wanted system that cuts you off from the rest of the players until one of them kills you, workshop where your own turrets start attacking you if you're wanted and where players can infinitely contest due to slap system, and finally Hunter/Hunted mode which has no cross-server matchmaking so good luck finding 4 players willing to PvP in a 20 player server. Only found 1 match in 5 days now.

    -Some events like sheepsquatch are interesting.

    This game sucks in many many ways. I start:
    -Graphics are bad for today standards, i really don`t care about it, but i understand the people that complains about graphics. A lot of assets are reused from fallout 4.
    -Animations: well, animations are embarrasing. I mean, they look really janky. Every animation in game, like in Fallout 4, and they have not corrected it. It`s 2018 bethesda, graphics aren't going to improve a lot, but animations can improve. You had one job, and the result is pitiful. Also the collision in all bethesda games it's...well a bit terrible saying it lightly
    -Gameplay: well... Gameplay is boring. At least solo, i don´t know how it is to play with friends. gunplay feels janky too. A cover system could been pretty good, but no... And the new V.A,T.S is the most jankyest thing of all game, feels horrible to use it, the real time change destroyed totally it, now is a janky amibot that misses a lot unless you take a vats oriented character.
    -History: is bad,very very bad. I can`t describe it with other words. Terminals? Robots? Really? You scrapped the best thing of Fallout, the word, the characters, the stories theytell you, their progress.
    I discover myself doind missions in this game and do no knowing what the heck i'm supposed to do because i refused to listen to MORE F**KING holotapes, or reading the notes. That's just boring, and i hate it, Bioshock is a good example of this, but WELL DONE.
    -Servers: lag, enemies T-posing and teleporting, players teleporting too, disconnects...i suffered almost all of this and is unacceptable. EDIT: with new updates almost gone,all of it.

    Summary: worst fallout game, janky, unexistant history, bad servers... could be fun with friends, but my friends aren`t going to buy this...

    EDIT: with the last updates the game is a lot better in terms of stability and bugs. But it's core problem, the lack of npcs and souless story hits it hard. Played a bit again to discover new content and dropped it again fast, the new content (Battle Royale? Serously?! XD) was too little.

    Playing with a group it took about 10-15 hours before the game got tolerable. At the stage where we were no longer having to worry about resources to micromanage the survival system, around Level 25-30, the game started to open up and give us more options.

    We had more caps to trade with players, more resources to sell at our camps, and were starting to be happier with the visual appearance options we had.
    It's worth saying that the game is still incredibly mediocre in its current state. The quests are barren and mostly unmemorable, the performance isn't amazing and the servers have disconnect issues regularly. There's a lot to explore in Appalachia, but not really a lot to do beyond sight seeing.
    With that realization my group struck on making our own fun: Roleplay is where this game shines.

    Arguably more than any previous Fallout game, 76 allows you complete character freedom. You're no longer the protagonist, you're one of many to emerge from Vault 76 and your path is yours to decide. With no real draw from the main quests and little offered tasks beyond chasing levels and loot, our attention was quickly drawn towards the camp system.
    If you liked settlement building in Fallout 4, you'll like it here; infact I like it *more* in 76, it feels more personal and rewarding considering that it can be visited by your friends and other players. With the camps being more limited in size than Fallout 4's settlements, they feel strangely more inviting as you spend more time there.

    My group picked up the roleplay path of traders. We made our camps together, made characters and had hours of fun greeting players like we were the NPC's and they were the protagonists. We provided a friendly area for new players to visit right on the path from the start of the game, and after a week of making our own stories for once, we walked away from 76 with not only a positive outlook, but a desire to purchase the game and keep playing.

    That said... We made our own fun. From a Roleplay stand point the game is fantastic, I just wish it offered more features on this front and really built to that strength. Fallout 76 is a confusing game, it seems to want to offer the traditional Fallout experience, but doesn't go far enough with the features it needs to make that experience. Meanwhile where it excels, in its multiplayer character opportunities, it also doesn't go far enough to really flesh out those systems and make the game a truly unique positive entry in the Fallout series.

    All round, if you enjoy sandbox freedom and you enjoy roleplaying, you'll likely enjoy playing, just make sure you've got a group going in as not a lot of players use voice chat, and text chat currently isn't implemented.
    If you enjoy the single player experience, that's still there in 76, but it's incredibly limited by the game's current roster of content.

    6/10 - A creatively liberating, yet shallow experience. Lots of potential, but needs further fleshing out.    … Expand

    Leaving all the bugs and issues aside, it's just not much fun to play. I was on the beta, started again with a new character, so have not got past level 8 yet, so maybe it gets better. But so far it is just a lot of micromanagement of inventory, and searching around for locations to scrap junk. Very slow progression like ESO, but just not a lot of interesting stuff to do.

While I love this game to death, it is only fair to review it based on the technical aspects.… Expand

    Utterly Mediocre.

    Yes, Fallout 76 is a Fallout game, but a boring, uninspired one. The translation of Fallout into what is essentially an MMO is just poorly executed. I like the concept of it, but it falls flat. Firstly, it's a buggy, poorly delivered mess. The AI is either broken or they just didn't really bother adding any in, the game crashes and the servers go down constantly    Utterly Mediocre.

    Yes, Fallout 76 is a Fallout game, but a boring, uninspired one. The translation of Fallout into what is essentially an MMO is just poorly executed. I like the concept of it, but it falls flat.

    Firstly, it's a buggy, poorly delivered mess. The AI is either broken or they just didn't really bother adding any in, the game crashes and the servers go down constantly and other varied problems persist throughout gameplay.

    Secondly, the lack of NPCs make the world feel empty, the quests & quest log are just unappealing.

    The multiplayer aspect is completely unnecessary as PvP is completely lacklustre and hasn't had any thought into it and perhaps the only saving grace of the game; being able to play co-op with friends is fun, admittedly, but so far I've not had a single quest where I've thought "I really need a friend to help me out with this".

    The C.A.M.P system is mostly irrelevant and unnecessary too. There's not really any gameplay reason to have a camp other than "because it looks cool".

    In terms of gameplay and RPG elements, the combat is just appaling, the perk system allows for no focus in play-style and the enemies are buggy, samey and don't feel challenging at all.

    There are other problems with this game but at this point, you get the idea already anyway.

    So who is this game for? If I had to give an answer, I'd say it's best for people who enjoy games like Rust but with no challenge whatsoever:
    + Pros: Is fun with friends, does have some kind of cool lore stuff buried somewhere in this mess of a game, the end game seems like it could be relatively fun

    On a basic level, FAllout 76 is fun. It's fun to explore the map with friends, listen to audio diaries and shoot a few crystal zombies. However, after about three hours a feeling starts to settle in that you've seen all there is.

    Fallout 76s world is functional. Someone really had fun with the map editor. They're on-pair with Fallout 4, in some cases even better. The places feel lived-in and every town went trough little transformations that where build by the survivors.

    Shame you don't meed a single one of them.

    What you meet are crystal zombies, molerats, wild dogs and ghouls that will some times spawn in hordes five meters behind you like in an early 2000s mmo whenever the game feels you need some action. Not that it would be a challenge tho. You can easily outperform the ai by simple walking backwards and shoot the approaching enemies. Often enough they will bug on reaching you, make their attack animation. Then stand there for a second like they just forgot what they wanted to do before approaching you once again.

    Public quests are similiar. I've seen more interesting ones in RIFTS initial release - in 2011. But they don't matter - the loot that they offer doesn't matter. Like most loot in the game. After finding more then fifty pipe pistols it starts to get tideous.

    Fallout 76 feels like Fallout 4 - just less. Less crafting. Less building. Less enemies. Less character development. I would write less rpg too, but the truth is that Fallout 76 isn't an rpg anymore. It's a mediocre shooter with progression trough lootboxes.

    It's noteworthy that there's a surprising lack of clothing and furniture in the game. The cynic in me assumes that it has to do with the built-in online shop. As the 60$ initial cost where merely an entry fee to the shop. Here you can buy hats for 5$, power armor paintjobs for up to 20$ or new furniture for your base. As well as looks for your character and other cosmetics. Even clothing.

    Which is kinda neeeded if you want to stick out. The Character Editor is even more basic then Fallout 4s, which is baffling considering this is a multiplayer title. You will see the same 15 faces again and again. Because that's all you get.

    Last but not least is the inventory management and menu control: It's bad. On the pc, building a base feels like playing the Piano. There was no effort in improving controls. It's really, really dissapointing.

    Fallout 76 feels like something the B team made with existing assets. A quirky little thing for learning and testing the waters. Sold for 20 bucks. But it's not. It's a fully fledged product for 60$ with an in-game shop containing items for hundreds of dollars. And to me, it feels like someone wanted to make the most money with the least amount of work possible. The truly nefarious could even go as far and say that it's another take on paid mods by turning the Fallout franchise in a 'live service'    … Expand

    This isn't a bad game. It has an interesting open world to explore and the crafting system is worth delving into.

    The negatives:
    - A badly outdated graphics engine that features muddy low detail graphics
    - A non-consensual PvP system that is more annoying than useful
    - A jerky combat system that has plagued all Bethesda games

    - The main story is the definition of mediocre. After a long time of play, I have only completed around 5 main quests.
    - Another terrible aspect of the game is the way the story is conveyed. Relying on holotapes and notes devoids the story of any soul. For me the abscence of human NPCs is not the main problem. They could have told the story in a myriad of other creative ways.
    - Long gone are the radio hosts that accompanied you on your lonely voyages.
    - For a game so focused on looting and crafting, you are offered a stash size of 400. This means you will be selling, scrapping and bulking all of your valuable stuff all the time. It truly feels like a chore. I have absolutely no idea how they thought 400 was good stash weight for most players. (This will change in the future but still unacceptable).
    - I have seen very few players in some sessions and quite a few in others. In both however, the interactions are extremely dull.

    This game is riddled with frustrations. Despite it's endless faults, it can be enjoyed if you enjoy survival games. (Looting, crafting and exploring). If you are expecting a Fallout game, steer away.

    To conclude, Fallout 76 is at most average. The bad response it is getting has everything to do with how Bethesda marketed and communicated the product. They should have released it as a beta for a year or so and charged 30$ for it then when ready charge 60$ for it. Too bad    … Expand

The lack of any meaningful story makes the journey just as meaningless.

    If you want to find lore then there is plenty of it. Holotapes and text logs are plentiful but you are experiencing a story that has already happened. You're a trespasser in someone else's journey. We could have lived in a world where the responders were dealing with the Brotherhood of Steel or the Enclave dealing with MODUS. Instead we are left with the husk that is the aftermath. Personally, I would have rathered had a full fledged story experience that I could have played with friends or solo and then also have the world we were given. In the same vein as ESO presents it's non changing world, we could have just lived in a static world that doesn't change with any major action we do but still have a story presented to the audience while dealing with the repercussions that an online only world has to deal with.

    The good:
    -Big world to explore. Can be atmospheric and beautiful. Fun locations. Good options for varied difficulty levels (after leaving the facile starting areas)
    -Translates some of Fallout 4 Survival Mode features into a more reasonable difficulty. Interesting environmental pressures at the best of times.
    -Decent graphics with some shining visual moments. Excellent sound and music. Good acting on voice logs and humanoid monsters.
    -Coop can be super fun.

    The Bad:
    -Fabulously tedious interface that gets worse the longer you play. Inventory menus were slow and unintuitive in every previous title, but two were turn based and the realtime games at least paused when you went to inventory! The system is archaic and nearly unworkable when monsters spawn around you in real time. Building and crafting menus are one step forward, two steps back from Fallout 4. The menus in general are an unholy marriage of PC complexity and Console button saving. All of the unfun housekeeping and inventory repacking takes waaaaaaay longer than it should because of these issues.
    -Graphics are uneven. Some glitches. Some ugly areas.
    -Shallow quests. Few NPCs. No player dialogue.
    -Combat is clunky and repetitive. Enemies are glitchy and dumb.
    -PVP is uncommon, pointless, unbalanced, and a huge immersion break. PvP usually starts by accident and neither side has a clear win condition. When a member of my party accidentally murdered another player, I was able to kick him from the party, execute him for the bounty, and then he rejoined the party a few seconds later. What is the point? I'd prefer separate PVP and PVE servers as opposed to the hybrid system presented here.

    TL;DR: this is and feels like a really big Fallout 4 mod. If that appeals to you, you'll have many hours of fun. If you're on the fence, wait a year and see what direction this game takes with updates and DLC. With a few shake-ups, it could be memorable. Right now, it's a rough-around-the-edges niche product pretending to be a general audience action game.    … Expand

Tout simplement car je suis mitigé. Je suis rassuré sur certains points mais un peu inquiet sur d'autres. En effet j'avais très peur a cause du multijoueur que le jeu ce transforme en vulgaires GTA ONLINE avec des joueurs " Cancers " voulant a tout prix vous tuer pour looter votre stuff. Heureusement rien de tout ca. Le Pvp jugé médiocre pour certains et parfait pour un joueur comme moi. Dommage que le jeu soit en soit assez répétitif. Aller chercher un mission, entrer dans un batiment remplis de " Calcinées " ou de " Goules " prendre un objet et ressortir chercher une autre mission. Encore heureux que les quelques évenements apparaissant aux 4 coins de la map sont là pour donner un peu de peps. Sans oublier les HitsBoxs un peu foireuses et l'argents très compliqué a avoir en jeu !… Expand

    Some people say there is now story - there is story, lots of it. If you start playing this game without sniffing around and just skip everything you game will tell you - you would not understand anything there. There are many lore parts which explain almost everything happening there, why are there these kind of creatures, what faction tried to make life better in there etc. IT does feel a little bit different than FL4 because without NPC-s you do not have different choices for answering. Quest are linear but not bad. If you played FL4 with looking under every peace and rock, did every single side quest, then you will like this game. If you just go from point to point without paying attention much of the story - it is not for you.

    Game is released a little bit early. I think after few months game bugs will be fixed. Bethesda will add more content there and today it is impossible to know will they introduce NPC-s or not. But as a story goes, there are factions and it is possible to add NPC-s without mismatching the lore.    … Expand

    Unfortunately, I only got a couple hours into the game before giving up. The motivation to explore the world compared to the past Fallout games just isn't there. Without human NPCs to talk to, the game felt very incomplete and empty. The side quests are by far the weakest point of the game, which consist of asking you to go to location X and finding a holotape, or killing X amount of enemies. This is the kind of quest structure you expect from an MMO.

    The whole time I was playing the game, I just wondered why I shouldn't just replay Fallout 4 instead? The gunplay and graphics would be the same, but it would have everything else that 76 was stripped of.

    This is a great game for people who come from MMOs and are used to the type of repetitive content those games have (albeit SWTOR is the exception) or people who only care about gameplay.

    I'd give it a 6/10. If it didn't have the exploration and environmental storytelling that these games are known for, it'd get much worse. What a pity. The setting would have made a good traditional Fallout game.    … Expand

    A fresh new idea for the Fallout universe is spoiled by bad decisions and sloppy fulfillment.

    Graphical: Depth of Field toggle, FOV slider, 60FPS cap.
    Player interaction: Push to talk, text chat preferably global or multi-channeled.
    Trading: Vendors shouldn't share caps across map, buying only restores about 25% of the worth back to the vendor, ability to set your camp or a workshop as a trade location/trade request board, if its really an issue of players getting to many caps make food/drink worth zero.
    Building: Allow buildings to semi-clip into terrain as moving camp with blueprints is next to impossible, Need a large increase to the stash size or another way to store things such as build-able loot containers (with locks), increase the maximum size of your camp as well as budget per level.
    World: Event quests need a run over for breaking and bugs, I know they won't add them but no NPC's really leaves you feeling like you're chasing ghosts, Even though they give a reason for it I would like anything other than more scorched to fight in towns.

    All in all it is fun to play with a few friends but is more frustrating the longer you play as storage management becomes a major time sink and the outcome of most of the stories is "They're all dead and you missed it entirely." If Todd and the company does want this game to succeed in anyway they need to start make changes fast, as the stash size issues were known since halfway through the beta and have not been changed yet.

    After the annoucement I was sceptic, but after seeing B.E.T.A. myself I was surprised. Fallout 76 is not empty, it's full of little stories and big quests, you just need to find them.

    The game is not perfect and currently I would say "just for fans", if Bethesda fixes the issues the community requested during B.E.T.A. (stash, dof) I'm pretty sure it will be able to find new fans.

    It's acceptable, I don't know how else to describe this game.

    Bethesda wanted to try something new, and that's very okay. I just don't think using an established IP to do so was all that wise.

    The lack of NPC's is felt, and you feel it fast. For all the jokes about Preston Garvey's quest system, at least he was there. You could interact in any way you saw fit. Here, you're just finding about stories for those who've come before, and it gets stale incredibly quickly.

    If you were on the fence already about this game, don't buy it. However, keep an eye on it for the future, see what Bethesda is planning before you bite the bullet.

    Holotapes and Notes worked reasonably well in the other Fallout games as they were side content, there for you to stumble upon at random. The main content was filled with NPC's, allowing the repetition of some quests (Eg, Prestons) to take a short while longer to set in before you recognize it. In Fallout 76, the game feels like filler, as nothing of true importance actually happens. The player is an observer, not a catalyst. And that, is what kills this game for me, and i'm sure many others.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gonna preface my review by saying there is a genuine hate campaign going on against this game that is in no way justified. While the game has flaws a plenty, there's nothing massively out of the ordinary for Bethesda games (or in some cases, many other games.) A lot of these reviews come from people who have VERY CLEARLY not played the game. A lot of criticisms are based off of straight up lies and fake news.
    Additionally, this is NOT a "main series" Fallout title. This is not a singleplayer RPG but instead an open world multiplayer loot'n'shoot survival game. This is a spinoff game. This is a game that is a similar genre to Fallout 4, but not the SAME genre.
    So keeping this in mind, I'm going to review the game under the following criteria: Open World, Multiplayer, Loot'n'shoot, Survival, and "Game".

    Open World:
    One thing Bethesda does that no other studio seems to be quite as capable of is making a genuinely OPEN world filled to the brim with details and exploration. There's junk and clutter around every turn that manages to breathe life in to an otherwise dead world. There's always something on the horizon, and there will be content you simply wont see even after hundreds of hours of gametime. The mantra of go anywhere, do anything definitely shines through in this aspect.
    The story is also told through the open world, each significant area seems to have a piece of lore attached to it that can be learned through recordings, notes, and diaries on computer terminals. Reading through these pieces of information not only lets you experience the story, but also gives you gameplay hints and clues that can help you discover any secrets in the surrounding area.

    The game has a main story, but it takes something of a backseat this time around. A lot of people are critical of that, and I can understand why. However, I don't find that it impacts me much to begin with. The main story provided by Fallout 3/4 are incredibly shallow, and can be completed very quickly by just bee-lining it towards the next quest marker.

    The lack of NPCs and NPC dialog is a bit eh.

    Multiplayer:
    As far as the multiplayer aspect of the game goes, it works quite well. I'm able to get in to a game no problem, and it runs very smoothly. I'm able to play with my friends from around the world with almost no noticable lag. The core game works well too, I enjoyed exploring and fighting alongside my friends, and building camps was definitely rewarding.

    The PvP is a bit dumb however. Easily exploitable. There is a purpose for PvP however. Random fighting in the wasteland is meaningless, where the real PvP comes in to play is over controlling territory in the form of Workshops. Owning a Workshop allows you to harvest valuable materials for your benefit, but someone can come along and try to claim that workshop for themselves. Unfortuantely, there's nothing stopping them from constantly retrying, meaning that if they have the patience, they can force you to keep defending your property.

    Also always on microphones and no text chat... the fact that they thought that was a good idea is a massive yikes from me. Very bad decision, clearly they're out of touch with games.

    Loot'n'shoot:
    A system that basically defines Bethesda's Fallout now. There have been a lot of positive changes to this system. Crafting is much more in depth, breaking down materials and weapons is meaningful, weapon degredation is back and works well with the system they made in Fallout 4...

    The killer, however, is the god damn piece of crap STASH. Why is there a 400lb limit? Even being careful with how you sort your loot, it just ruins the game entirely since you eventually come to a wall where you have to make room in your STASH or don't pick up any more items. This completely breaks the game loop.

    Survival:
    It's basically the survival mode from Fallout 4 except toned down a bit to be less of an annoyance. Keeping yourself unfed isn't a series of increasing debuffs, but a singular large debuff that gets applied when you drop to 25% of your hunger/thirst bars. Keeping them above 75% provides buffs as an incentive to maintain them. Additionally, there's even more benefits to preparing your own food over eating random junk food you find on your journeys.

    Diseases are back, and so long as you aren't getting bitten by rabbid animals or rolling around in dirt, you'll stay healthy. Makes sense to me, so it's a cool touch.

    Game:
    Simply put, the Gamebryo engine just CHUGS in this game. It's at the end of its lifespan. The game runs horrendously by default, and you have to do some SERIOUS gutting to make it playable. It doesn't look bad, but for how it runs it should be looking better.

    FOV isn't locked contrary to popular belief, but an FOV slider would have been nice. The 63 FPS cap is a dumb compromise.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is fun to play but the quests are just you being talked at by a recording while doing errands back and forth. You don't really get a sense of progression because you already know the NPCs related to that quest are dead and that your efforts won't affect the world.

    Hopefully they will add some interactive NPCs in the future, even it's just robots that you can actually talk to (as opposed to just being talked at by). They promised future gameplay modes, so maybe they can add a co-op story-mode expansion (a sort of mix between Borderlands and Fallout 4) that takes us to another region of America, such as Pennsylvania, where we can encounter human NPCs that were out of reach of the Scorched plague.

    I love the levelling and perk system. I find the multiplayer more engaging than in other multiplayer games of this kind. Everyone I have come across in game has been awesome to interact with and the emote wheel is great if you don't want or can't use voice, although it can be a little fiddly to use. I find the crafting system is also a lot easier to use then in Fallout 4 and this adds to my enjoyment I actually want to craft as opposed to Fallout 4 where I wanted to avoid it, in addition to this, I find base building better than Fallout 4. The ability to build and move it wherever you want is awesome. Also, it is much easier to do then in Fallout 4

    Cons;
    The bugs and performance issues. I really hope these can be sorted out because it is taking away from my enjoyment. I would rate the game at about 7/10 if it were not for these. I find the questing very difficult as well. I get lost and sidetracked often and the lack of NPCs is very noticeable. The lack of content is not a con for me because there is enough here right now to tide me over until new content is released, as long as it is free.

And dont even get me started on the buggy AI, animations, powerarmor slenderman bug, and much more. I could almost forgive some of the lack luster issues if the game actually ran well and didnt bug out all the time.

    I agree with a lot of the criticisms, I consider Fallout 76 fair to good, and I rate it 6/10 to 7/10 (I rounded up) — but that's coming from a player whose absolute favorite games are Fallout 3, NV & 4. For me to be saying "fair" to "good" or be rating it a 6/10 to 7/10 is the equivalent of a less franchise-loyal gamer rating it 3/10 or 4/10.

    I have played something like 6 to 8 hours so far and just reached level 10. I was concerned I was truly going to find myself bored, but I've been managing to enjoy myself reasonably well. The moment I discovered the first robot to trade with, I was able to earn enough caps by selling loot to use the fast travel and base camp relocation abilities, which are key to making exploration and questing less of a slog. I have felt the tingle of excitement upon encountering a new area, getting quests — especially if there's a voiced robotic NPC quest giver, which is honestly just as good as a voiced human NPC quest giver in my opinion — and hunting down the various enemies while trying to achieve my goals. While the absence of raiders and mercs is quite noticeable, what's really missing are the neutral to friendly NPC communities. Take a place like Covenant in Fallout 4. You meet them, they test you, they tentatively accept you and you suspect there's something amiss with the town. There is a number of ways to proceed, and the choices you make result in significant differences as to how this side-story plays out. So far, it seems Fallout 76 will not and cannot offer players experiences like that.

    The bottom line for me is that Fallout 76 feels like a stand-alone DLC with a simple premise: Bethesda will set you up with a very large play area as a sandbox to play in, 80%-90% legacy world lore from the other games in the franchise, player survival mechanics and enough basic, repeatable quests to motivate you to continue. As a committed lone player, it does in fact get quite lonely and spare, but if I were paying $20-$25 for this privilege, rather than the $60 I paid, I would say it is definitely worth the experience.    … Expand

    Da ich Fallout 4 gespielt habe, mit allen DLC´s und es echt gut fand und Stunden damit verbrachte habe tut mir Fallout 76 echt weh.

    Es ist kein generell schlechtes Spiel, aber es setzt nichts so wirklich zu 100% um. Die Performance ist katastrophal...selbst Fallout 4 lief flüssiger...warum hat es einen 60 FPS Lock? Ich habe Framedrops immer wieder mal geht es runter auf ca. 35 Fps und das mit einem Ryzen 2700x und einer GTX 1080 in FHD, das sollte selbst auf ultra settings nicht passieren.

    Survival...naja das man Essen und Trinken muss und seine Waffen reparieren zu müssen...das kann man nicht wirklich Survival nennen.

    Online Multiplayer...entweder man spielt mit Freunden im Team oder man sieht außer den Pünktchen auf der Karte stundenlang keinen Spieler. Wenn man doch mal einen sieht will er entweder PvP oder eben ein Team eröffnen für seine Quests leichter zu gestalten...wow super. Unterhalten kann man sich mit fast niemandem, die meisten wollen es nicht und wenn dann können die "Mitspieler" kein Englisch...
    Zudem es mir so vorkommt als würden die NPC plötzlich stärker nur weil ein hoher Spieler in der Nähe ist...hatte es mehrmals das Supermutanten im gleichen Gebäude erst Lvl 5 (anfangs mein Level) und dann plötzlich Level 14 waren (es war eine andere Gruppe im selben Questgebiet) und ich dann nichts mehr tun konnte außer weg laufen.

    Camp bauen...ist eigentlich großteils alles wie bei Fallout 4...nur das die Materialien teils seltener sind.

    Wenn man es mit Freunden spielen kann macht es schon Spaß, selbst alleine kann man eigentlich alles erledigen, aber es ist recht eintönig alleine...

    Fazit: Ein neues Fallout mit einem Koop für bis 4 Spieler hätte meines Erachtens völlig ausgereicht, denn gerade das was an Online Survival Spielen interessant ist fehlt hier oder ist eingegrenzt.

    60€ ist es nicht wert, da gibt es rein mechanisch kostenfreie Titel die es besser machen.    … Expand

It feels like I felt playing fallout 3 for the first time. Scrounging for ammo and fights actually felt dangerous. In New Vegas and Fallout 4 that feeling was definitely missing.

    There are quite a few downsides that most people are probably aware of. The engine is old, so it can strain your PC or console. Bugs are apparent everywhere. Servers are unstable. And the worst part is the weight limit. You can max out in a single room or from 3 enemies, and your "home base" stash limit is only 400 lbs, not even twice your own carry limit. For any packrats, this is a big issue. However, I've found the game much more fun with a weight limit "glitch" so you don't have to worry about that, I just enjoy exploring the game and pick up whatever I can.

    TL:DR: Exploring, atmosphere, and feelings of real danger are great. Rest of the game, ehh.    … Expand

After sinking sixty something hours into the game, I can say it’s a good first attempt at an online multiplayer game. Yes, it still uses the Creation Engine but not the same one used for Fallout 4 or Skyrim due to the engine improvements such as all new rendering lighting and landscaping technology; that allows for sixteen times the detail, and yes you can visually see the difference between Fallout 76 and Fallout 4. Such as the glossiness on the golden strips on the Vault Suit that was not present in Fallout 4.

    Now Fallout 76 isn’t the prettiest game released this year or this decade, but it is by far the prettiest Bethesda Game Studios Game released today.

    Leveling Up in this game has been refined from Fallout 4’s perk chart, I especially like the fact that I can switch out my perk cards when I’m playing with my friends to allow for greater team play, however, I’m not so much of fan of the fact that your special stops increasing after reaching Level 50 but there are adding the ability allowing you to respec your characters special in latter update
    sometime after launch.

    The Appalachia Wasteland is truly the biggest most diverse wasteland we’ve seen to date allowing players to capture some truly amazing screenshots. Yet due to the immense scale of the Appalachia Wasteland and lack of human NPC populating hubs, towns the world seems oddly empty but not completely empty due to the questing give robots found throughout the world such as Rose or the
    other players exploring the world along with you.

    The microtransactions in Fallout 76 aren’t an issue due to them literally throwing Atoms at you for playing the game and completing challenges. So what do buy with these microtransactions well it’s all cosmetic items that offer no gameplay advantages at all to the players of the game. These microtransactions are also paying for all the DLC the game will have post-launch allowing Bethesda Softworks to make all DLC free not splitting up the player base.

    I myself haven’t participated in any PVP in Fallout 76 as of yet but have had some of my loot stolen.

    The story isn’t the best story featured in a Bethesda Studio Game, but it isn’t too bad either. The endgame isn’t the worst nor the best but launching them nukes is pretty fun and challenging. When one is launched players have two minutes to leave the blast area, but one is fired most players come over to the edge of the blast radius to watch the nuke detonate. Don’t worry about players firing nukes every twenty minutes as Bethesda have thought about this every Tuesday the launch codes reset and need to be decrypted once again from a new word and different numbers, and players aren’t allowed to nuke the starting area.

    Crafting has been reworked in Fallout 76 where players now need to find plans that allow players to build new gear giving you an edge over enemies that are just above your current level. Not only do you need to find plans you also need to find the resources to craft this new gear once you’ve learnt the plan, however, the stash limit is currently restricting my crafting progression slightly, but this issue is being addressed with an update sometime this month.

    So all in all Fallout 76 isn’t a great Fallout game but is a good action-adventure game on your own but is a great action-adventure game when playing with friends.    … Expand

I held out and waited for release. Release arrived. I woke in Vault 76 eager to get in the wasteland of west Virginia. Picked up some stuff left behind kindly by the overseer wherever he she was. Opened the vault door and there i was in the wasteland ready to get my first taste of radroach. Now the graphics are not oit of this world but it looked ok some places looked amazing (gtx 1070) so i was on max settings ive seen a lot of complaints that this is a terrible looking game. It isnt, but its not great either a few patches in maybe it will be a lot better. So as i was saying i started wandering the wasteland following the main quest which is ok for the most part until you realise the multiplayer element is pointless and the quests are so go here get this go there fetch this which is ok for a few missions but got to the point where i got a bit sick of it considering on some you had to travel great distance. The action/shooting part is tedious at times and the AI is quite dumb which i figured may improve a few patches in (yet to see) as i mentioned the multiplayer i did team with a couple of guys but we all seemed to be in the same pointless loop of not really needing eachother so after that i played solo. PVP which is the reason i was looking forward to 76 as oppose to being the difference to its previous games in the series was pointless nobody shoots anybody they all see no point due to the stupid mechanics. As a survival element game there is no reason for it to be so other than eating drinking. If your familiar with say ARK,Rust,Conan Exiles etc the elements like building, fighting npc, pvp, base building, teamwork in 76 the element is pointless. The game as a whole is ok not the worst ive played but a long way off being good and a long way from terrible maybe in 6 months it could be worth looking again after a few updates and a cheaper price. So after i played quite a goof while reached level 20 etc had a good run i decided to try my luck on a refund which to full credit to bethesda i received in full no hassle. So to finish if your a fallout fan this game is ok not great and is not half as bad as its made to sound by critics and rager fanboys its worth a look at a cheaper price but at full price £50 GBP its an overpriced ok game.… Expand

    I'm going to give credit where credit is due. The world Fallout 76 is installed in is huge and simply beautiful. The landscape and the main interest points (camps, bases, towns) are very well done with a lot of hidden stashes and secrets for you to find and loot. The hostile mobs that you find in the world can spawn on pre-coded events (quests) or you can force some to spawn (byI'm going to give credit where credit is due. The world Fallout 76 is installed in is huge and simply beautiful. The landscape and the main interest points (camps, bases, towns) are very well done with a lot of hidden stashes and secrets for you to find and loot. The hostile mobs that you find in the world can spawn on pre-coded events (quests) or you can force some to spawn (by annihilating everything with a nuke, it just works), needless to say, the way the mobs scale up to your level is perfectly fine, yet I still wish that some of them posed a bigger threat (Scorched are literally just training dummies for me at any point in the game). I also would've liked the Appalachian folklore beasts to be more unique to this world, rather than having them encountered quite often. They're still interesting to fight, Scorchbeasts being literally hell sometimes to take upon. The crafting and base building in this title are a total improvement over the same systems from FO4, although I still wish they'd have more in store for them. Most likely that wish will be done through future content patches, if any. So far basebuilding had a few breaking bugs that i've encountered but they've been seemingly fixed as of 22/11/2018. The game rewards exploration for sure, and also punishes digging in too deep in some situations. The quests in the game, although as much as I wished for them to be given or completed at human or sentient ghoul NPCs, are at a fine level. They're exactly what you'd expect from a survival game (which this title is, people tend to forget that FO76 is a survival game and not an RPG like the previous installments in the franchise, despite the way Bethesda tried to introduce some lore in the quests with no friendly NPCs around). The quests push you to explore, kill, loot and sometimes, even group up with people in order to face a big threat (group objectives are usually optional, really wish they weren't). For a survival game so far, it is what you'd expect, the survival mechanics (hunger, thirst etc) are well implemented. Now on to the bad parts. FO76 uses the Creation Engine, which is in a huge manner a refurbished Gamebryo engine (engine used for Bethesda games pre Skyrim launch) and it shows its age. There are a lot of bugs and glitches. I've encountered a lot game breaking bugs that just prevented me from doing something that I wanted (specifically in base building). Despite those bugs, I found something else to spend my time on while waiting for Bethesda to drop a patch to fix these problems. So far I can say i'm relatively happy that they've taken care of a few truly nasty game breaking ones, although seemingly ignoring the other minor bugs. The game has a no push to talk button, while being a survival game, which is unexplainable to be honest.
    To summarize the ups and downs:
    Ups:
    -Vast and huge world, great for exploration
    -Lore, despite being introduced the way it is, has its moments a lot of times
    -Crafting and building on point, wish they expand those systems in the future.
    -Survival mechanics work
    -Combat system from FO4, still good
    -Unique mobs, many dangerous, even while in power armor, some, completely training dummies
    -Works good with friends that appreciate survival games with a small questing experience twist

    Downs:
    -Bugthesda confirmed, many remain unfixed, probably will be like that forever.
    -Visual glitches occur very often.
    -Outdated engine shows its age, game has a few optimization issues, not impossible to play at constant frames with a below average PC build.
    -Lack of NPCs (sentient humanoids) is still unexplainable, there should have been at least a few NPC raiders somewhere. I cannot believe that out of all those people that came out of the vault none of them went totally rogue (game should have not been focused on the players being the only inhabitants of the vault, disregarding thus sentient NPCs, is what i'm trying to say).
    -The game can feel dull at points if solo playing, due to how big the world is, there are a lot of open spaces with literally nothing on them.
    -Servers seemingly need a lot of maintenance downtimes, despite not a lot of players being online on one server at a time ( ? - could be faulty engine that doesn't allow big server uptime, who knows, it really sucks when you got engaged in an activity and then you got a downtime of around 1 hour+ incoming in just a few mins).
    -No push to talk yet.
    -A lot of items/objects used to disappear at launch, can't really confirm if they still do today, last time I've encountered something disappearing from my inventory is 3 days ago.
    -Microtransactions (although purely cosmetic) in a game in this state, should not be a thing, at all. Pull an EA and add them later if you really want them Greedthesda.

    Is the game worth 60 bucks as it is right now? I'd say yes and no. You really need to be the target audience of this game in order to get full value. 6/10, has potential if kept updated, like is NMS lately.    … Expand

    If you are looking for your regular Fallout/Elder Scrolls quest grind - don't buy this game, at all.
    Though it has Fallout in the title and the mechanics are pretty much the same as Fallout 3 onwards, you simply won't get the same experience as you are used to.

    What the game can offer however is handing you a massive world to explore with the classic Fallout charm and humour surrounding it.
    Now let that sink in and I'll give you a glimpse on what's good, what's bad, and what's really ugly about Fallout 76.

    QUESTS
    Though it really falls short on meaningful quests at first glance, taking your time getting to know people's stories in quests, notes and holotapes is very rewarding.
    The main quest starts rather simple with: hey, go there and find person X - which is dead already. You find some note, move on to the next person along the trail which is also dead, and everyone is dead. Bottom line - the only humans still alive are you and the other dwellers from Vault 76.
    So there's no human NPCs - period.

    The main quest is a rather well written introduction into the mechanics and as it progresses you will get some side missions along the way and eventually learn more about what happened in the past few years.
    Until you reach a point where you get another main quest that forces you to run across the map for really dumb objectives before it gets interesting again. Awful time flller - afaic there's absolutely no excuse for it other than wasting people's time.
    I'm still stuck with that mission so I can't tell if it gets way better from there but I instead went for some exploration on my own.

    I ran around A LOT so far and though you get hints that something happens here and there there's simply no quest yet to follow.
    For instance - I ran into a camp that is shaking with a holotape about a customer complaint from when before the bombs fell. I hear a scream in the distance - I can't find anything when I try to follow the source of the scream.
    You'll get that a lot as you explore at your own pace. The more you see, the more you will feel like the map is an empty shell that may or may not be filled later on.

    And that's all I can say about that.

    BASE BUILDING
    Now if you are interested in that part I hate to tell you that it suffers from some really horrible compromises that need to be there for it to function, but it absolutely kills the potential.
    On one hand you aren't always on the same "realm" - so your base persists only as long as it can be built again where you had it and nobody else built their base there now. Unlikely to happen - unless you found a site that gives "free" aluminium.

    The amount of structures you can build is ridiculously limited.

    The versatility and ease of just moving your C.A.M.P makes you forget about your base and you just move the base module somewhere else for a hand full of caps to drop your junk or to cook instead of finding a proper station on the map.

    Bottom line - that feature can't deliver, especially when knowing something like an Epoch mod in ARMA or ARK's building capabilities. It makes sense for what Fallout 76 is but it's... meh - I wouldn't know how to fix it though.

    FOOD, WATER, SURVIVAL
    I like that part - though you need some 20 litres per day instead of 2 - it's quite nice and you can see yourself getting better at it compared to from the struggles you may have had at the start.
    Occasionally it may be annoying but never enough to actually be an issue.

    Will lack of water/food kill you? No - you just suffer AP penalties.
    Good compromise imo and as good as you can make it.

    DEATH
    Has like 0 consequences... all you lose is scrap - I haven't reached a point yet where I had such good scrap that losing it may be annoying. And even if that were the case, when you die you can just run back to your point of death and pick it up again.

    PVP
    I only read about it and I'd say it's absolutely useless. There's no base locations to be really fought over as they don't persist, all you can loot is scrap.... useless

    EVENTS
    More annoying than useful - as soon as you are in an Event area the quest for it gets activated and sometimes the event itself - even though you didn't sign up for it. You just happen to be there for another quest and suddenly you get swarmed by mobs. Idiotic implementation.
    And - no serverwide chat or group finder to actually do a shoutout and say: hey guys, wanna do that event? At least to my avail.

    BOTTOM LINE Don't buy this game if you expect a regular Fallout experience. Read up on it, watch videos, check if it's something for you. I for myself enjoy it as I like to just run around exploring and having some content is a welcome change compared to other titles in that genre.    … Expand

Its game-world is nowhere as polished or interesting as Breath of the Wild, Horizon:Zero Dawn or RDR2. Its technical aspects are half a decade behind most $30 games.
    The game looks, feels and plays poorly. Frame stutters, capped framerate, no FOV slider, no push to talk, janky sounds, weapons feel like they have little next to no impact in both audio and visual compared to good FPS, of which there have been plenty since 2017.

    There is a majority of environmental storytelling, if you enjoyed this in other Fallout titles, you will enjoy it here. But there is a significant lack of cohesive main- and sub-plot storytelling. Every location has its own story but you barely ever feel like you're part of a significant storyline with an means to an end. There are also no surprises in storytelling; pretty much every human NPC is dead, you will always return to a terminal or a robot and never be surprised or caught off-guard once.
    The leveling and weapon system are normalized so higher level players don't carry a great advantage over lower level players, making level 20s able to compete with 40s. This artificial balance in turn makes the PvE a complete joke, with the mobs suffering from the typical Bethesda AI flaws since Morrowind (getting stuck, getting confused, standing still. If you shoot a big monster from a position it has hard time reaching, you win).
    As such, there is no real sense of progression either. Hour 3 will feel like hour 30 will feel like hour 300, except you're wearing Power Armor in the end and have an even greater overabundance of Stimpacks to spam and cheese out the already ridiculously easy content.
    The gunplay is incredibly shallow, from bad audio to bad animations and visuals to little impact felt from guns. There is no realism in this shooting, from the way the guns sway to recoil to damage.
    A majority of base movement and combat animations have been recycled from Fallout 3 and Skyrim. You still have swing left, swing right, power attack and block, clunky run animations, clunky wielding animations, pretty much everything that modders worked hard to change for FO4.
    Finally, the character customization is horrible. The most downloaded mods on Nexus for FO4 (and Skyrim) are to improve character customization, visuals, textures and clothes. None of that is in Fallout 76, your character will go through the exact same creation menu as Fallout 4 with barely any improvements made to it, the textures will be bad, the customization will be bad.
    Many clothes just 'hide' your equipped armor pieces, and the majority of armor you find is re-used assets from 4, without even getting a texture upgrade. Customization is one of the most imporant aspects for many people in an RPG and Fallout 76 offers very rudimentary, ugly customization that won't make you feel unique or like a virtual avatar of yourself, just an ugly blob of very dated textures.

    All in all, this game is worse than many early access titles currently, not worth $60 for any of its key aspect: There are many superior multi- and single-player games out on the market. There are games with better storytelling on the market. There are games with better visuals and technology on the market that still offer more interesting gameplay than F76.

    I gave it a 55/100, rounded up to a 6/10 on here. It is an 'okay' game but it's not great. It has fun potential, but not more than other games. Games media will likely give it a deluded high 70 to low 80, but what else is new. Just in terms of graphics, stability and features you'd objectively have to deduct a vast sum of %, but everyone knows they won't.
    Still, it's not a 0/10 like all the bombed reviews claim, but its definitely not a 10/10 with vibrant AI as some of the other reviews claim. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

    Only buy this if you have an abundance of income and don't feel bad for supporting the practice of unfinished, recycled games as a service, or if you enjoy environmental storytelling as the main aspect of a game.
    Fallout 76 is an avatar of mediocrity, and as long as gamers don't start voting with their wallets to force Game Studios to shape up, this will be the standard for many games moving forward.    … Expand

I had better drink water." I don't hate the game but it really needs some human NPCs and a story to save it. Finding dead bodies gets old. If they are dead bodies why am I doing their bidding?

    Story: The story so far has been bare-bones. Yes, the world feels very empty, unlike previous Fallout games, where you have a bunch of settlers and raiders all over the place. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. The world we are seeing is the direct aftermath of the Great War, rather than a world that has had 200 years to build anew. At the same time, there have been numerous minor story-lines I've run across that flesh out the world of people who were alive not two decades before I was there. People that my character was likely contemporaries with. It can be immersive if you aren't expecting to be spoon-fed entertainment.

    Multiplayer: So far, this has not been a major issue with me. I had people help me out as I was leaving the vault, and I've turned around and done the same. I've cooperated to help clear missions, and I've wandered off on my own, avoiding anyone for fairly long stretches. As severs get more crowded, that may get more difficult, but this is not your typical MMO at the moment, where you have to deal with a dozen other players behind every corner. It is entirely possible to have a single player experience without interacting with other players. The one drawback is how many Challenge Missions require group participation, but that is only if you care about collecting Atoms. It isn't required for the main story.

    Stash Limit: The big complaint everyone's heads are exploding about. Which... is not actually an issue. Yes, you can only hold a limited amount in your stash at a time. People claim that this penalizes looting, but it really doesn't. Heck, I can run faster while over-encumbered in this game than I could in any previous Fallout Game, without any special perks helping me do so, and I can do it for far longer than I'd expect otherwise. Even when slowed down to just walking, I still move at a good speed, and at worst, I can just spend a bit to summon my Camp to my location and end up looting to my heart's content. No, what is penalized in this game is hording. Stockpiling up a bunch of resources for a rainy day and not using them. People complain about not being able to build, when really the issue is that they can't horde supplies until they can build a mega-fortress. You are encouraged to use your supplies, because you will have to end up getting more, but that isn't overly difficult or impossible.

    There are flaws, definitely. I've had bugs when going into menus and I ended up getting hit with several server drops and game freezes, which is why this is a mixed review rather than a positive one, but this is very much not a 0-star game. And I think it would be very telling to see which reviewers have actually bought and played the game, and which are basing their review off of let's play videos and other second-hand sources.    … Expand

    Sick of the review bombs for what is actually an OK game. You were told by Bethesda that they were trying something new, wouldn't be Fallout5, was to be a online MMO, and you are all so surprised? Don't like the new flavour fine, but it's not worth spending 5 mins of your life to register to give it a zero.

But if you enjoy base building it really is great. This game focuses around building and upgrading either your camp or your personal character. and since everything needs to be upgraded it really makes finding basic junk rewarding. Also a nice feature for Camps and workshops is the ability to have materials that can be mined I think thats a pretty cool addition in 76.

    I will say for the story missions are lacking *Spoilers Kinda*...................... Everyone is dead, so story missions follow something like this, find a object find the holotape find the dead person repeat, Sometimes you get to kill some enemies along the way but for the most part thats how the story or most quests go. As for quality of quests I mean its average nothing crazy, And the quests didnt glitch out for me ever, at the time of writing this I am level 30 with about 24 hours in if you include the beta.

    The reason I put the game at a 6 or 6.5 is for the following, the servers, in all my time of playing the servers disconnected me about ten times in the normal game (I never got disconnected in the beta) and ive had this game hard crash twice for me on my rig. For reference I have a intel i7 7700 k GTX 1060 6 GB and 32 GB ddr4. I will also say when you disconnect from the server it tells you way late. I have been disconnected while running to a part of the map only to realize I disconnected and I now have to re walk all the land I just covered, supper annoying. Another reason for the low score is for the power armor glitch, Ive had to reset my game twice for power armor glitches so far, how this happens is you enter the power armor at a bad angle and get stuck.. definitely not fun. so over all for the game being out for two days ish ive crashed 2 times disconnected 10 times and had to restart the game 2 times for the power armor glitch.

    * (side note) Servers can be very lag prone and has bad hit detection this has only happened once to me forcing me to log out and back in again in order to get a better server. It was so bad to the point of me hitting a enemy then that enemy would hit me twice and then just roll over dead mid attack.

    I will also say that this game needs to have some quality of life fixes 400 lbs max stash size is crap That needs to be raised or weight levels need to be decreased. Also No push to talk is annoying as well. I have also noticed even if you turn off the voice chat sometimes the launcher likes to turn it back on again, only happened to me once in the full release and once in the beta so be aware.

    I will also say this game needs a trader hub, most vendors like at a resort in fallout 76 share the caps inventory and I find that very annoying, I suppose a way to combat that is to server hop but it should still be fixed or have something to offset this. It almost feels like you need to be able to post your goods for sale for other players to see, something like a guild store like from ESO (Elder Scrolls Online) A quick spot to put extra amo up for sale or a great place to get cheap goods. Now when I say feel I mean to say selling items is very empty and not satisfying, since vendor hubs share most caps you feel like there is no point to selling you should just scrap it. It just feels like there was supposed to be a trading store but it never really got put in.

    Also A side note that I have is with repairing weapons if i need to use a gear to repair a weapon when I scrap the weapon type in question I should get gear... makes sense right? Wrong! only wood and steel, It just kind of bothers me. But after all of that I will say one more good thing to end on. Huge map! I very rarely come across players and each area is very different from the starting area in the woods to the swamp to the nuclear waste land its all unique and each spot feels very different.    … Expand

Add to this that at the core, as many have said, the story is read through holotapes and notes (and the occasional boring robot) make it quite bland. Yes, the world is big and if the troubles don't discourage me, I'll probably spend quite a bit of time exploring it, however, I already feel a little bit bored, while for any of the other games in the serie I was still full enthusiastic at that point in my game time. Maybe an offline mode would alleviate a bit of the issues, but the life less experience might not be something that can be fixed. I still try to love it... might just not happen.… Expand

We are meant to find out what has happened in the aftermath of the Great War. Now I would love to see NPCs added into the game and I think this could be done with little effort. Think what if a new Vault opened up and you had to help the people of that Vault create a settlement which will turn into a social hub, think the tower in Desinty.

    Quick hits:

    Pros:
    The world - Fallout 76 has a huge world with something new around every corner
    Base building
    The loot - the loot is great I love the blueprints
    Crafting
    Level / Perks - This is a perfect system for this style of game. They just need to make to so you have re-roll your S.P.E.C.A.I and maybe add on endgame leveling system, think ESO online maybe???
    Multiplayer
    Enemies - a good divers raid on enemy types.
    Nukes - it's a cool way to create a harder zone

    Cons:
    This game needed an upgraded / new engine
    Lunch bugs - this feels like an earlier access game.

Unfortunately, these good things are drastically hindered by technical limitations, missing features, and a player experience that struggles to find any kind of identity.

    If you have three or more friends that are willing to play with you, Fallout 76 can be a ton of fun. Random encounters with other players or taking down a tough boss are just as enjoyable here as they are in any other online multiplayer survival game. Sadly, if you try to go from playing in a group to playing solo, you'll find that the fun factor almost disappears entirely.

    The world is huge and lonely. Whether or not you think this is an accurate depiction of what a post nuclear apocalypse would look like, the fact is that it doesn't make for a fun game. There are no characters to become engaged with, except of course for the other players you meet along the way. And anyone who has been playing online games in the past decade will know that this crowd is crazy diverse, and rarely friendly. If you're unlucky enough to come across the wrong group of people, the game quickly becomes a chore as you get peppered with bullets and goaded into attacking back. The revenge system in place here isn't any good either, and leads to a resource drain for all players involved.

    The game needs work. A LOT of work. In the future, it's entirely possible that enough content will be added to make this a worthwhile purchase, maybe even a price cut. In its current state... well, you're getting what you pay for: A buggy game that's fun with friends, but ONLY with friends.

Set as a resident of Vault 76; players will craft a character and be amongst the first to venture into the Post-Apocalyptic world set in the Virginia wilderness as they attempt to help rebuild a new society.

    Along the way players will encounter all manner of mutated creatures and threats that have zero qualms about tearing a player to pieces or bringing an arsenal of weapons to take down players.
    Anyone who has played any of the series will know that gathering, trading, and crafting is essential to survival as being able to buy, repair, and exchange weapons and armor is essential as they will break and need to be upgraded frequently.

    This is always a trick for some players such as myself as I never know what to fully prioritize when I encounter scrap and can quickly become overburdened. This makes for some very tough choices as player movement will be very restricted and players will be unable to Fast Travel to previously explored areas of the map.

    There is also the matter of needing to ensure that an adequate supply of food, beverages, and medicines are available to restore health as in a radiated area; even stopping for lunch can cause potential damage and mutations to happen.

    There are numerous weapons available to players from crude Pipe Guns to more advanced energy weapons and machine guns and knives. I have found that Melee weapons such as an Axe or a Sledgehammer can do wonders as they do pack a solid punch but are slow and unyielding.
    The map is extremely vast and filled with many areas to explore from old towns to hotels, shops, a mall, an airport, train stations, and pretty much anything else you would expect in a typical community.

    One of the biggest issues in the game is the numerous bugs which hampered the game at launch. Bethesda has worked to fix them through several patches but issues still remain as I write this so players will have to understand that this is part of the game and being addressed but they will likely encounter issues along the way.

    The game has taken a considerable amount of abuse for the state of the game at launch and while I freely admit there are issues; I have had a lot of fun playing the game and have logged a considerable amount of time in it. Despite the frustrations; I have been drawn back to the game time and again to play more. Players I have encountered have been generally helpful and friendly and the game has not become an open Free For All as the Bounty systems in place make it less appealing for players to pick off inexperienced players who are out minding their own business. Some higher-level players have been very generous in passing and have initiated trades to give me High-Level weapons even though I was not able to use them until I reached a higher level.

    There are various Pop-Up events that happen where players can get some nice rewards and slipping into your Power Armor to take down a pack of Scorchers is always a fun experience.

    In many ways this is one of the hardest reviews I have had to write as I can see how some people can be disappointed with the game and will take serious issues with the bugs and general direction. I also see the fun in the game and the progress being made with the updates and enjoy the game despite the issues. If you are patient and temper your expectations with the understanding that the game players have now is not the game they will have several months down the road, then Fallout 76 may be the escapist game you are looking for.

    (3) Poor performance on GTX 970 but playable on medium settings

This is the biggest problem with this game, it's lack of defined identity doesn't help with understanding how to play it and what to do.

    (7) The interface is designed for a console, not a PC and I've had lot's of problems with it
    (8) Base building was not my thing and in this game I just don't understand why I want to do that? There is no one raiding me, so why i need this? At least in Fortnite it makes sense, not in here - for now
    (9) The world without human NPC was supposed to make you feel desolated, but you don't. I feel like everyone is on vacation and left their pets and robots on the loose so they don;t starve
    GOOD:
    (1) The world map is really great with lots of things to visit, but I don't think it's as that big as some people claim. Starting locations are generally small, with no large industrial complexes, hopefully this changes later on

Other players in the game are meaningless as pvp is not enabled (they have to shoot you first before you can hurt them). Base building is bugged and you can lose hours of progress. Inventory is wayyyy too small, meaning after just a few pickups you have to go back to base to scrap. Plus your base storage chest can only take 400 weight. That's nothing!
    You have to constantly switch perks if you want to min/max. That's pretty annoying too.

    -Lack of NPCs, the story is telled by notes and terminals, but it's hard to read those when playing coop. -PVP got to nerfed -Buidying is very limited by the weight limit on your stash and camp size, it would be great to build a large town with some houses and vendors to sell my stuf or buy stuff for me. -Locking players on a server would be great by the reason    Good game, not great.

    -Buidying is very limited by the weight limit on your stash and camp size, it would be great to build a large town with some houses and vendors to sell my stuf or buy stuff for me.
    -Locking players on a server would be great by the reason above or for the worshops on the map that the people instead of negociating or fighting with you, people justo switch servers to get.
    -AI is too dumb, please make the game more dificult by increasing the inteligence os the AI not just the enemy levels.

    So far, i've playied for 36 hours, a level 17 caracter, played some coop, but most part solo, i'ts a fun game, worth buying, i'm having a lot of fun with the daily/event quests, but i miss the NPS and some settlers.    … Expand

    The game is flawed technically but the issues are being addressed. Don’t play on a **** PC and you should be fine. Be honest now... is your pc up to snuff? I know you THINK your PC is good... but is it? If you can get over the bugs and are happy with the knowedge that the game will be fixed, there is a lot of fun to be had. Roleplayers and immersion junkies will love this game.

    Game is not as bad as some retards are saying. It has a lot of bugs, lacks more storage, but nothing game breaking. It's actually pretty fun.
    I hate that it's a console port and therefore you even have fps drops. Yet I still played since beta for over 5 days in total gametime. It's pretty great, gives you a feeling of fallout, like you're actually alone and gets me depressed almost. I    Game is not as bad as some retards are saying.

It's pretty great, gives you a feeling of fallout, like you're actually alone and gets me depressed almost. I would prefer playing with a friend, but it's fun still. And the difficulty? Those are kids that barely have level 20, I had power armor and found the game really easy, until I got Ultracite lvl 45 power armor and now I'm dying to some enemies.
    I think the game will get better. Hopefully more stuff will be added too, for free. Until then a 7 is a balanced grade. Considering people pay 60$ for games that you play for 10 hours max, you'd be a hypocrite to complain.    … Expand

    Fallout 76 represents a big disappointment and the lowest point of the series so far. Riddled with bugs, repetitive and dull gameplay, nonexistent story and outdated graphics, it fails as a both multiplayer and singleplayer experience for fans and newcomers alike.

    Miracles do happen once in a while and No Man’s Sky proved that sometimes it is possible to get back on your feet even after a terrible failure. Right now though Fallout 76 is botched spectacularly on so many levels that even talking about this game is a waste of time. [01/2019, p.46]

    An unfinished game with bifurcated identity and in an almost dysfunctional state. It's hard to build on a bad base, that will never change. Like the war. [Issue#292]
