    Useless game

    keep getting disconnected from their server constantly even after the Bethesda support recommendations.

    Great game. What I love most about it is that it plays almost identically to the Fallout series, and its almost a continuation from Fallout 4.

    Not only that, you play online with other players! The best part about this is that you do not need to participate with them or don't have to worry about being player killed.

    The story is pretty interesting and deep, yet you aren't forced to listen to NPCs drag on about things for hours on end. Usually a holotape gets you on your way, which is cool if you don't want to stop the pacing. Another great feature is the C.A.M.P. You can store your items in this totally customize-able area in your stash, build a home or cabin and defend it from outside enemies. You can also open it to the players or lock your doors if you wish.

    Fallout 76 is also amazingly beautiful. For all the extra space they put into this game, I enjoy the vistas between event locations love to build my C.A.M.P. around the wilderness. Though sometimes the trips can be a little long, I think its worth it and makes the game feel a lot more realistic. There are some locations on the map that are done so well, it almost feels like you're there. The White Springs Resort (aka the Grianbrier in WV) is an absolute gem and full of fun times.

    I enjoy the crafting, though sometimes the stash gets too full and you have to unload items once and a while. Usually I opt for scrapping weapons and armor for crafting skills and extra parts.

    There are many other things I'd like to mention in Fallout 76 to praise, but I'd just urge you to play it before reading any more reviews.    … Expand

    It is still a pay-2-win game that is NOT free-2-play and ALSO requires monthly subscription to enjoy without constant frustration and feeling you are playing some cheap free-2-play mobile MMO

I do like having the live events, however the quest like structuring of the game doesn't leave the door open for exploration and adventure when playing with friends in co-op. To say the least it is a bit boring in co-op and is not challenging enough.

    However, where the game does shine is when playing as if single player or lone wanderer. Graphics and environment is beautiful. The combat and stealth mechanics are well fleshed out. The NPC interaction and quests are refreshing enough.

    There are some lurking hidden dangers where the player can die rather quickly. Overall I'm going to keep playing until complete. I do wish the difficulty would scale better. I like a challenge.    … Expand

    It kinda feels like a lite/worse version of Fallout 4. The new missions with npcs made the game better, but the stories are still not really interesting and way to short.

A change a while ago completly ruined the game for me tho. Enemies now scale with your level so there is not really any player progression. A low level will deal as much damage to an enemy as somebody with a higher level since the enemies scale to each player. When you get stronger over time the enemies in the same area get stronger aswell so there is not point for me to upgrade my character. The System before was way better, where enemies would have a certain fixed level in a specific area. I also prefered the perk system in Fallout 4 where you could unlock every single perk. It is a grind to unlock every perk, but this was another reason that kept me playing. Why couldnt they just make a Fallout with coop combatibility instead of an online Fallout. Im just gonna stick to the other Fallout entries for now.… Expand

Yes, this game does have microtransaction, but so does Fallout 4 creation club, and it's just optional. No point to complain about having nice and cool cosmetic stuffs from atomic shop. Atomic stuffs are carried over on each new characters on the same account are the pro. When I see all the negative reviews are laughable to me.

    It is really disgusting that after you pay 60 dollars/euros you will have to get a gamepass like subscription to enjoy the full game, and its not just skins, but armors and completely different game modes. Fallout 4 looked better and the building is not fun anymore and it has no point. Literally no choices in an RPG and it doesnt have some of the fun gameplay mechanics in other Fallouts.

    A complete wasteland of wasted potential. Elder Scrolls Online was a major failure, and it seemed like it would be Bethesda's greatest failure. However this game managed to take that title. Not only is this the worst game Bethesda has ever made, it is the biggest letdown in over a decade as Bethesda fell from great heights to this pathetic mess of a game.

    It's hard to define all the reasons this game is bad. Disgusting business practices? Bad customer support/service? Crap forum moderation? No cohesive plan for DLC releases. Day one game breaking bugs persistent through year two? Yea, this game isn't even worth this review. Done.

    This game should 've been a Multiplayer add-on for Fallout 4 because it's basically the same game without an offline mode and that's it.

    The graphics are ugly as sin with absurd post-processing effects. They made combat worse than Fallout 4, so they removed the fun part. The reward for my first quest was a slot machine token.

    The game itself isn't that bad, especially after the major updates. But it's simply not fallout.
    If u aren't a fallout fan I can't find a reason to stop u from playing this, but if u r, don't play this.

    You can play it singelplayer if you want but if you play it multiplayer it only gets better.
    Only thing they need to do now is remove the overpowerd legacy weapons so new players have a chans to do any damage on a boss before its dead.

    But if you are new and like Skyrim/Fallout3/4 then try it. it is good now.    … Expand

    What an incredibly buggy mess. Even several years in the game feels like an early access title. Plus outrageous microtransactions. How sad that the gaming industry has fallen this far. Gaming used to be fun, but it's now nothing but battle passes and corporate greed. It's honestly toxic.

    Bethesda released Fallout 76 full of bugs as money grabs, and damage so much their reputation that they stopped investing in Fallout franchise.
    Nonetheless Fallout 76 is worth playing as solo player. It reminds of Fallout 4 but with a significant bigger map.
    Many bugs and patches, left the game terribly unbalanced to play with others. I'll skip the MMO part.

    in 2022 Fallout 76 has some bright moments, especially "steel dawn" DLC and of course they finally added NPC's (LOL). But it's still not even mediocre game, but pretend to be close i guess. As a fallout fan i'm sad, that this franchise getting worse with every game since Fallout New Vegas. If Fallout 4 has it's own charm, Fallout 76 is just bad.

    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]
