    Sometimes fun, but mostly trash. Bugs, crashes, and reused assets. A money grab.

    I think its a great fallout game, been playing it alot since release. If you're interested in the game, just look on lets play videos on the game and decide for yourself. Don't listen to the youtubers that just copy their information from other youtubers and subreddit.

    Most servers are full and the players are very helpful.

    It's a glorified fetch quest game with nothing ever interesting, annoying survival meters and too small inventory / stash size.
    I encountered some bugs (although not as bad as I thought it would be or used to be), the first being my UI was invisible, my fps was capped at 72 and my controls never saved, all of those I managed to fix with some .ini edits.
    The other bug I had was I lost everything I placed in my base half the time when I close the game which sort of killed any motivation to keep playing.

    If you don't mind fetch quests I would maybe say try it on sale. Never full price.    … Expand

    this was just a cash grab. it'll be interesting to see how many more times they can do this to the Fallout series. The smart people I know avoided this game. I got it for super low $ and i'm glad i did because it is terrible.

    This game is not as bad as people say. The main idea of all games of bethesda is present. Players can do everything they want, the are so many different locations to visit and many enemies to defeat and rewards to beat them. Graphics are bad and there are technical errors but the game is still fun

    If you put all bethesda's dodgy dealings and goings on aside and look at what they have done with this game since, its absolutely astonishing.

    It plays perfectly on my P.C, 20 hours in and not a bug/glitch or crash.
    The graphics are slightly dated and the combat similiar to older games but the introduction of N.P.C's has really made this game into a true fallout experience.

    I am so happy that Bethesda didn't just bin this game and that they stayed true to their word in the end.

    This game for me is about on par with F04.

    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.

    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

    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.

The audio logs and notes,On the positive side, I think this is, far and away, the best world Bethesda has ever created. Their environmental storytelling and worldbuilding remains - as always - top notch. The game is richly atmospheric, and exploring the world - the actual act of wandering and seeing the sights itself, not necessarily the mechanics of it - is a truly rewarding experience. The audio logs and notes, though annoyingly overused, are often quite good, telling a story about a world that failed that's arguably darker than anything Fallout has done before. Hope replaced with despair, good intentions gone horribly wrong, haunting ghost towns that show you exactly what went wrong and how without ever having to tell you... it's got it all. It's genuinely a beautiful world, and that's something that has kept me playing, despite its many, many, MANY flaws. Also, the weapon and armor crafting system, though not perfect, is solid and enjoyable to interact with, as is the versatility of the new perk card system used in leveling up - even if, as I mention below, it has some serious flaws of its own. Plus, you get to explore with friends if you want to, and while it's far from a perfect system, coop in this game is genuinely enjoyable on balance. Finally, building a base is cool, even if it has serious issues (see below).

    On the cons side, let's start with something that simply needs to be said: this game is a buggy, broken mess. There is literally not a single core element of this game working reliably anywhere close to 100% of the time. In fact, without much hyperbole, I think it'd be faster to list the things that DO work reliably than it would be to list the things that DON'T work reliably. Nevertheless, here's a very small sampling of the bugs I've personally encountered or experienced.

    -PvP scaling is completely broken at higher levels.
    -Base building is finicky and buggy. Sometimes you'll just lose your entire base to the void - not saved to storage, not just needing to be placed back down, gone.
    -Sometimes food and drink don't work.
    -Sometimes people become invincible.
    -Sometimes enemies become invincible.
    -Sometimes people can't get into power armor without the game crashing.
    -Sometimes people literally can't get out of power armor.
    -NPCs regularly clip into buildings, each other, the ground, etc.
    -Sometimes hostile NPCs will just stand there, doing nothing, not reacting.
    -Sometimes quests will fail to progress, period, and must be abandoned and restarted... if they can be abandoned and restarted.
    -Sometimes other players turn invisible. Or their armor does. Or their power armor does, turning them into a horrifying deformed monster, as getting into power armor stretches the player model to fit the power armor frame.
    -Sometimes creatures vanish when you kill them, or ragdoll physics off into space and THEN despawn, or fall through the ground, preventing you from looting them. This is great fun when they're a legendary enemy that you just burned most of your ammo and stimpacks killing, just to lose out on the legendary loot that was the point of killing them in the first place.

    Then there's some of the appalling design choices, from a bizarre and inconsistent UI to a non-functional economy to the much-talked about and truly awful tiny S.T.A.S.H. limit. And the lack of an XP sharing system for kills, which can actively punish you for group play. There's the near-total lack of an endgame, the baffling lack of text or push-to-talk voice chat, the strange and ultimately damaging insistence on not using human NPCs in the game, the quite poor balance inherent to perk cards, the poorly thought out crafting costs and item weights, etc, etc.

    Put frankly, this is not a good game. It's just not. It feels like an early beta build, or maybe an Early Access title, but it is frankly insulting that they charged $60 for a game in this state at release. And yes, it's a Bethesda product, and Bethesda products are always buggy... but that really, truly isn't an excuse. It never really has been, but in this incarnation of Fallout, where there are no mods just waiting to fix Bethesda's mess, the fact that Bethesda releases incredibly buggy games is just made painfully apparent. Given how many stellar open world games have come out in the last couple years, Bethesda can no longer coast along on their reputation alone.

    Perhaps this will become a good game. I certainly hope it does - it would be a shame to see such a beautiful world go to waste, and there honestly are some good ideas buried in this mess. But right now, it's not, and it's completely unacceptable for Bethesda to expect people to pay retail price for a game that clearly wasn't anywhere near ready for prime time. If you're interested in giving it a try, I strongly encourage you to wait 6-12 months. If it's going to be a good game, Bethesda needs to get its act together and make it one. Don't pay them for the privilege of doing their testing and fixing for them.    … Expand

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

    I originally gave this game a 0 and pointed out its many flaws that it had at the time. I'm very pleased the team has been able to patch this game and improve it so much over what I was playing back in Dec. Now, it's not only fun to play, but there's a ton to do whether you have an hour to play, or a whole day.

    With the next patches and the roadmap that was provided, it looks like this game is only going to continue to get better. It's definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but give it a shot if you're a fan of Fallout and want to join other Wastelanders in Appalachia. If multiplayer isn't your thing, stick to Adventure mode and stay away from the griefers in Survival.

    Edit after Fo1st: if you're into cash grabs, go ahead and pick this up. Everything is monetized now and the bugs are still prevalent. Don't waste your time as there's tons of other good games out there.

The map is beautiful but there's nothing in it. I genuinely believe that if the game added NPCs and some meaningful quests it could become good. As it stands it's just painfully average.

    I mostly prefer this game, because I experienced it, and this kind of experience is good to best, not to mention the updates we will get in the future! Don't get me wrong, the bugs can be a bit annoying but not game breaking. I mostly shrug one and move along when I encounter one. About the gameplay: You loot resources if you want(just like in Fallout 4), some quests need some resources to progress. But when you loot resources by just grabbing them up, the game doesn't feel grindy, it's just like Fallout 4 in mechanics. You won't ecounter NPCs, the game feels empty BUT the WHOLE game is a Pre-sequel to the other Fallout games, and THIS is THE ambience of the game. You can find out why this game is empty, because the story is all about investigating the "why and where".

    About the atomic shop and microtransactions:
    Feels like a money grab first, but after jumping in, you can earn atoms by completing quests, levelling up, completing daily and weekly challenges. I managed to get 1800 atoms overall by just playing 30 hours/ getting to level 33. A power armor paint(for T-45, T-60, X-01 armours unlocked account wide) costs 1400-1800 atoms, and I nailed one by just playing the game. If you find in-game microtransactions expensive, try thinking strategically. Buy the game discounted for like 30 euros(instead of the original 60), then spend the other 30 for juicy cosmetics IF YOU WANT, I must underscore the "optional" for you of course. :)

    Have fun playing the game if you bought the game after seeing this review, and watch out for deathclaws in early levels! ;)

    2019.11.11. edit.
    I have found out they have this subscription, for this half assed game that I've been giving my hope for months. This is utterly disqusting. Bethesda should be ashamed, this is the least they could do. Their reputation went down in the toilet, and my hope for any future Fallout releases too. Oh, and to mention: Good future DLCs cancelled because of this **** or at least delayed. Money talks, Bethesda, for you at least, but you won't crawl your reputation out of this mess anytime soon.

    I have played for 300 hours, with friends and solo. If you are looking to play this game at this point here is my take on this game:

    I felt like the majority of people writing overly negative reviews haven't actually played the game, and instead review bombed it because it's not the next single player RPG experience. It's a Fallout Universe map to explore with stories and content. It was released as a complete story with a story arc you follow throughout your game play, if you follow main stories. There is plenty to do and explore with friends as you complete the story to make the content of this game fully complete in a multiplayer context. The lack of NPCs is part of the story ARC and one of the first things you have to rectify so that you can keep existing in Appalachia. I actually really enjoy the real time implementation of VATS.

    The bad:
    - It's buggy, but I've never had a Bethesda game not be released with bugs TBH.
    - If you want this game for PVP, don't. Play a game meant for PVP and developed with PVP as a basis for the game. PVP in Fallout 76 is mostly an afterthought and player builds can be min/maxed to be nearly invulnerable to casual players. It's just not fun.
    - You need to suspend disbelief to enjoy the story. After finding a note left on a desk of a broken house that didn't blow away in 20 years I laughed. I mean holo tapes left all around on underground desks or workstations, ok. A note on a house in the open?
    - There were glaring bugs that led me to believe that the game was not thoroughly tested or played by the development team themselves.

    Overall I enjoyed my time. Realistically I'd rate my experience as an 8 out of 10 because I had a good group to play with but the actual game is more like a 7 so I will put that as my review. If you enjoy exploring the Fallout Universe like I do, you'll likely still enjoy this game. In the end, all quests in Fallout have always been [choose to complete quest, or ignore] regardless of how many stat check options you were given.    … Expand

The game has improved substantially, and is finally about what it should have been at launch. I would have given it a 8 out of 10 but it still has issues with network latency sensitivity and is prone to server disconnects during times of server stress.
    Others have already summarized what the game is about, so I’ll just a few of my thoughts here:
    Stories are told through holotape and notes, not your typical NPC interactions of previous series titles. Some of the robots have interesting personalities, but it you crave humanoid NPC interactions this may not be the game for you. Bethesda has announced NPCs are coming with a future Wastelanders update.

    It’s open world, learn as you go. No handholding, only basic tutorial quests.
    The community is generally positive.
    Since the games has changed for the better since launch, I would ignore any reviews posted prior to about 3 months ago.

    I typically pick up a game and play only it for a time before moving on, so I cannot compare it to other RPG MMOs except Elder Scrolls Online. I’m a big fan of ESO and played it exclusively for three years prior to picking up this game. ESO also has significantly improved since launch and hopefully Fallout 76 will continue to get better and better.

    TLDR better than it was, still has bugs, pick it up cheap or wait for free weekend to try it out.    … Expand

My favourite part has to be the building. You got a decent ammount of choice for free stuff (trust me, a lot of cool stuff is locked behind a paywall). It wouldnt be that much of an issue, but they started adding utility objects. The Personal Terminal and the Punch bowl are free, but the better ones, collectatron which collects free junk at a relatevely decent pace (Slower than a workshop harvester), and a fridge in which you can put food items to make them decay slower, are locked behind the atom paywall.
    Building is well done, but with so much content locked in the atomic shop, and the miniscule budget that does not really allow you to make anything relatively big along with a very small building area, it is not that great.
    The world is very well designed, with a lot of intresting locations, but the problem is that it feels empty. They are atleast working on a new mode, where npc will be a thing. For now you got a bunch of clones of diffirent robots. You got Merchants, and Mr.Handies. While there are a few more that dont really matter.

    The Story is just a bunch of notes and holotapes, which i dont bother to read or listen to.

    Unlike in fallout 4, you dont have all the plans for weapons, buildings, you gotta unlcock them, but certain weapons still need perks to be crafted. The problem is that the plan item itself does not warn you of that. This is a problem for vendors, because weapon plans are pretty expensive cap-wise, so you could buy a plan that you learn, only to realise you cant craft it because you need a perk.

    The game's certainly improved over time. It had a rough launch to say the least, but there's actually a decent amount of content now with MUCH fewer issues. It certainly pulls off the RPG aspects better than Fallout 4 since it actually promotes making an actual build instead of an op character that does everything perfectly. That's not to say it's without flaws however. Certain systems inThe game's certainly improved over time.

    Useless piece of crap. Very Idea to put world of Fallout in the rainbow-looking absolutely empty online world is just insanely idiotic.

    With recent updates like wastelanders, this game has seen significant improvement. However, this game still has a long road ahead until it becomes at least 1 7/10. If you really like fallout and are okay with some - by far not has many at launch - bugs, I would recommend this game on sale. Other then that, wait some more. Personally, I find it okay.

    This is, unironically, the worst game i have ever played. Maybe if you want to solo the game, then it is maybe just about playable, if you enjoy being attacked by NPC's and not being able to attack back (they have aim lock). But if you want to get this game and play with friends (IE the "Online Co-Op" feature), then be prepared for the most cancerous game-play you have ever witnessed.

Now, i know what you're saying, "it cant be that bad its made by Bethesda". HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA you will be in for a cruel awakening. For example: for some people you will periodically not be able to move your character in the game, you need to go into setting files to change the FPS cap, need to go into settings to remove depth of field, you have to complete every single quest twice because it only advances the story of the party leader (my personal favorite), your character only has to ability to sprint (actually jog) 30-40metres, dehydration is a thing, I think that is about it although I'm sure there is much more. Oh also, sometimes you cant tab back into the game. Please dont waste your money on this game, although it is almost worth it just to laugh at how bad it is.… Expand

    I played my friends game and it was awful, but clearly they've been adding to it from the launch. That being said there is literally no reason to purchase this game for another 3 or 4 years, gives the time for developers to complete it.

    I continue to try and like this game and can't. It is fun and exciting for the first week until you realize the gameplay loop is unchanging and very boring. You will have to visit the same places every day to farm plastic or metal to make ammo so you can farm plastic or metal to make ammo. As a fan of the Fallout series this was a huge disappointment. Very little to do in a huge map.

    2 for the first experience and 4 for the new DLC, -2 for the bug and the inside store.

    Straszne gówno, cieszę się, ze dostałem tą grę za darmo w abonamencie Xbox bo jakbym na nią chociaż złotówkę wydał to bym się pochlastał.

    I love the rest of the fallout series, but this one is a buggy mess. I lost tons of items I worked hard to grind to glitched storage, and the pay to win just ruined the game for me.

    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]
