    I'm obviously the odd one out here, but I loved Fallout 76... as a single player game (important to note). I played the game in 2020 when all the content was released and I was able to play it like a typical Fallout game and I enjoyed it for over 100 hours. Fantastic lore - perhaps the best of any Fallout game - and the sense of exploration and discover was amazing.

Fantastic lore - perhaps the best of any Fallout game - and the sense of exploration and discover was amazing. The community was great too, but I can see it being annoying to constantly grind for crappy loot and legendaries, paying Fallout 1st monthly, and all the headaches that come with online play. If you're looking for a new Fallout single-player adventure, just pick up 76 and play it like a typical Fallout game. Lots of content to hold your attention. Expand

    5 years later after the release. At this moment this game is a masterpiece, runs so smooth on ps5, flawless 60fps. Polished and upgraded version of fallout 4!

    The hate is undeserved, most people didn't give it a chance, its different sure, but it's not bad not by any means. The hate online caused so many to miss out on this great game,

    Game was a total mess on release and deserved the bad ratings, now I most say its one of the best games I played yet, good work they did but there you see again rushing releases never a good thing, bad rating keeps for all the life of the game, now user score of 2.8 for a game which is now for sure a solid 8 or 9.

    2023年7月現在、アップデートによってかなりストーリーテリングも詳細になり、ミッシングリンクだったシリーズの1以前の話がわかったり
    2、3、4までのストーリーの伏線が、相当量詰まった贅沢な仕様になっています。
    リリース以降、アップデートで著しく価値の上がった一本だと思います。

    As of now in late 2022, I think I’m enjoying this more than Fallout 3, 4, or New Vegas. I’m level 77 and I have no real complaints other than the frame rate could be a little better on PS4.

Anyway, the quests are amazing, the guns are amazing and very refreshed from the other games, and the general creativity, audio, and every little animation and effect is so perfectly immersive and Fallout-esque that this is a nearly perfect work of art. I have never had a negative PVP experience, and very seldomly have actual encounters. Some of them are handy in boss fights, which is very cool. Expand

    Pretty new at the game but my first impression isn't too bad, outside of massive performance issues the game is pretty fun i like it.

    Just got into game and from what I have heard it has come a long way sense release with a whole lot of bugs fixed it now runs just as well as any other game. With a ton of available content that was released in past years now is the time to venture into the wasteland.

    In general, you may not agree with me. But I must admit that a lot of work has been done on the game lately. And now this game is quite fun to play.

    After a few years of development and lots of additional content released I can finally say this game is solid. Tons of armor and weapons that all have a variety of legendary effects. Power armor, too, comes in a variety of styles with cool skins to boot. Great on your own, perfect with a fireteam.

    È un gioco immenso, ora nel 2021 è uno dei giochi online più belli da giocare, anche se non è il migliore della saga di fallout rimane un capolavoro dell'online, ho riscontrato solo dei bug di compenetrazione, immaginavo di peggio.

    As of 2021, this is easily one of my favorite RPG's ever made. The new content updates have made this game a real treat for anyone who likes Fallout. If you played this game in the passed and were burned by it, give it one more chance. You'll probably love it.

    "Is the game fun?" asks the people. "No," says the man at IGN, "it is an unplayable nightmare". "Are the graphics good?" ask the people. "No," says the man at GameSpot, "Red Dead Redemption 2 makes Fallout 76 look like Minecraft". "Are there changes or updates coming in the future?" the people ask.

"Are the graphics good?" ask the people. "No," says the man at GameSpot, "Red Dead Redemption 2 makes Fallout 76 look like Minecraft". "Are there changes or updates coming in the future?" the people ask. "No," says the man at Kotaku, "Bethesda just took the money and ran, they don't care about the people". From this, I chose the impossible. I chose to play Fallout 76 and see it for its real value.
    Initially, I was hesitant to write this review. People who are somewhere between having played for two hours and never having played this game love to come here and just endlessly dress this game down. I felt that my genuine opinion, and my insatiable love for this game would just be drowned out, among the incessant waves of "why was this made", "Bethesda was just looking for a quick check", and "the graphics are bad". But I remembered a powerful lesson that I learned as a youth, that shaped me into the strong, God-fearing man I am today: A man chooses. A slave obeys. A man chooses to play this game, and see it for what it truly is, and to understand the deeper meaning behind it. A sheep is told to come here, slap a "0 out of 10" and whine about the controls and occasional glitches.
    Yes, there are some minor flaws. A couple bugs here, some glitches there, but what games never had any flaws. Even Grand Theft Auto V, a game hailed as some kind of magnum opus, had a myriad of issues upon its initial release. But look past these minor issues, and all you will see is a modern masterpiece before you. People love to pound the pavement about the graphics. Red Dead 2, the game that most philistines love to compare Fallout 76 to, came out ten (10!) years after the original Red Dead. That is ten, long years all set aside for the RDR team to work on the new game and improve everything. Bethesda's Fallout team got to work on 76 the second Fallout 4 wrapped up. The release of 76 was just three (3!) short years after Fallout 4 released. I hardly see how that is a fair comparison.
    I urge anyone who comes across this review to boot up 76 and look past your biases, and unwarranted hatred for this game, and revel in the wonderland that is Fallout 76.

    this game has only got better since Steel Reign has dropped, more cafting options great new story questline, the only downside is that there seem to be problems with servers which i can guess that bethesda is working on would recommend to anyone

    This is definitely a must with friends. - Redownloaded it and I'm remembering all of my fallout 4 moments but with friends. 99% of the bugs I complained about initially are not there anymore and I'm enjoying exploring. The only thing I do not like is the micro transactions but that's just a small part of it. If you like fallout 4, give this guy another chance.

    I feel this has become a solid game with a rough start and now it's just popular to hate it. I'm enjoying it almost as much as I have enjoyed other fallout games and feel the game has even improved in certain areas. This game will continue to grow and I'm excited about that because there will be new and evolving stories that hopefully keep the game fresh and interesting.

    With over 500 hours of game play, i can officially say that this game has a great story, and perfect mechanics. On release, everyone gave it hate, but it doesn't deserve that. Its fun, has very few bugs, frequent updates and the Wastelanders DLC. The Wastelanders DLC is a whole other thing on its own, but it definitely adds some spice to the game. 11/10.

    So utterly disappointing and flawed in every possible way… The first few hours, most of it can be ignored, and occasionally the flaws can be forgotten, but only briefly before they come storming back to the forefront. An awful, boring, empty, pointless experience. There is, however, a glimmer of hope. It's worth mentioning that there has already been a Bethesda title that was equally as unimpressive: The Elder Scrolls Online - but looking at it now, it has transformed into one of the best MMOs out there. There's always the hope the Fallout 76 develops the same way and becomes something special, but for now, that seems impossible. It's a world away from that.

    Fallout 76 isn't your typical fallout experience. You don't have NPCs or dialogue, but instead get real players that should fill this void - that ultimately fails to do so. It does some things right, but as of now I cannot recommend getting this game as long as it stays a broken and boring mess that it is right now.

    Fallout 76 is the series’ Freshman introduction into the world of online, multiplayer games. As a result, we are experiencing all of the awkwardness and clumsiness associated with that season of life. It is imperfect and a bit uncomfortable, but I see opportunity for Fallout 76 to be more than it presently it - to be a truly great, rich Fallout experience.
