    I originally rated this game a zero because I couldn't log in, turns out it was playstation's fault. The game isn't perfect but has potential and is already better after the first big patch. If you like Fallout and have some patience, you may end up liking this game. It's been on sale everywhere.

    I really enjoyed the game lots to explore and discover. Heaps of systems and progression to learn, I can build my dream house anywhere in Appalachia.
    Might not be a gane for everyone, but no need to get angry at people that like the game like many do. I personally cant for the life of me understand how people can like simple repetitive , basic games like Animal Crossing and many JRPGs,    I really enjoyed the game lots to explore and discover.

So let them play and be happy you enjoy something. I personally find much more appealing about a complex, systems heavy game like FO7 than a game where you feel like your just there to press a button on occasion, but many like the simple repetition. And no one is wrong about what they like.    … Expand

    Nothing but smooth sailing on PC through the BETA and now on the release. Got my digital copy through Bethesda, didn't need to enter a code and was in having fun right away. The game is a lot of fun, exactly how I wanted a Fallout game to be and only getting better as they resolve the outstanding bugs.

    This game is getting a lot of hate and a whole lot of misinformation by YouTubers and thier fans. I've seen one review here with "I haven't played it but.... 0 rating." It's no where near as bad as people claim. Is it buggy? Yes, but it's not unplayable. People complaining about framerates and such are mainly PC gamers. This game is better on consoles.

No NPCs was known well in advance of launch and surprisingly works well for 76. It fits into the story. If you're big into fallout lore, felt fallout 4 was crowded, and enjoy survival/base building then this game will be good for you. If you lack imagination, want things spoon fed or are looking for a full fledge shooter like pubg, move on.… Expand

    Albeit negative reviews from angry kids, this game is fun! I had over 15 hours of play time where I enjoyed myself and had tons of funny created moments with other players. PVP is not mandatory which is amazing!
    Sure, the engine is dated and there's a bit of uncanny feel to it, but trust me you will have fun!

    of course there are some bugs that need to be fixed, and they will be. the game itself is great, full of enemies and quests, it never gets boring, and its an MMO fallout, come on, it couldn't be better.

    I played throughout all the Beta sessions on PS4, also stayed up all night to play it during release, have +30 hours in total. Played mostly solo and for about 7 hours partied up with other players who I stumbled into randomly.

    The game is excellent if you have a bit of fantasy, allowing you to create your own adventure. I could never get into Fallout 4 as I found its premise and plot quite bland, but I love other Bethesda games, such as Fallout New Vegas, TES: Morrowind and TES: Skyrim.
    I can understand how the concern of the lack of NPCs can be alerting, but so far the story was very engaging: some of stories were very emotional and thought-provoking.

    PVP is surprisingly fun - had a lot of interesting encounters with other players, which ended up becoming a shootouts for half an hour. The only thing I would change about it is the revenge mechanic, infinitely respawning on your opponent is silly.

    Graphics is great for PS4, being a multiplayer game I did not expect the graphics to be any better, otherwise the server would not be able to handle it. Freezes do happen every now and then but do not require a restart.

    Overall I believe FO 76 has a promising future, can't wait to see what Bethesda has in store for it. See you all in the Wasteland!    … Expand

    And you can do it with friends. The game is PVP optional, people won't just run up to you and start killing you. You won't get sniped by another player you never see coming. Not that death is a huge burden, either. But those who choose to PVP can.

    Graphically the game is superior to previous versions of fallout. Colors are vibrant, darks are dark. Using the Pipboy flashlight is a must.

    Quests can be ignored, but following them grants great rewards in EXP and items. Just moving through the map will uncover new quests and they can all be tracked through the display.

    After a few hours you find yourself moving through a nuclear wasteland encountering many deadly things while you try to find items to better yourself and stay alive. You keep pushing for the next town or next find, because you don't know what could be there. But once you find it, and kill it, you know you will find a great reward.

    My only complaint is that I am going to have to work and sleep instead of play the game.    … Expand

    The game is really really good. The sad part about this, is that people are scoring the game without trying it, out of pure hate for it being online and having multiplayer, or because it's not Fallout 5, like they were expecting. I'm in Fallout groups in Facebook, and I have seen first hand boycott organizations to throttle Fallout 76.

There's so many aspects of the game that is great too. Of course it has it's glitches, just like any Bethesda game, and with it being online only you should expect issues with the server from time to time. But that's not the game or Bethesda, that's just online games in general. Bethesda is committed to continuously improving the game. If you find issues, write it down and report it on their forums, simple. Don't just complain about it on a review site, that by no means leads to a proper solution.

    Great game, great gameplay, great graphics, awesome new creatures, the game feels very lively, and does not indicate that all new games going forward will be multiplayer or online. Don't trust these negative reviews, sour people are going to be sour. They will also be the loud ones because everybody who's enjoying the game doesn't want to delve into the hate that is spewing everywhere. That's why you might see more negative than positive reviews. Believe me, this is a good game.    … Expand

    Great game to play alone or with friends. This is not fallout 5. This is a new way to play fallout while retaining all the immersive elements. It's a little bit grindy but in a good way; it's a fallout playground that you can expore. They are updating and improving the game constantly so its worth checking out.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fallout 76 is a collection of contradictions.

    On the one hand, even at the time of writing, it has some big bugs, on the other hand they pale in comparison to the fun of launching nukes and the multitude of events.
    The story is an incredibly deep, tragic, complicated, meditation on technology and its relationship with humankind, yet it is ultimately a jigsaw puzzle composed by ghosts. It is an incredibly solemn, at times lonely, experience, but conversely it has the best community of people you could possibly play with.
    All of this is to say that Fallout 76 doesn't work on the terms of a typical single player RPG, where choice results from the differing desires of NPCs. BGS has made them before, and there are numerous others on the market. It works because in between the quests and events, there is a collection of incredibly fun gameplay experiences. Fighting the Scorchbeast Queen with a server of strangers, uncovering the history of Appalachia leading up to Reclamation Day (Myst as written by Cormack McCarthy), helping new players build their CAMP, and of course launching nukes. The voice actors are phenomenal, perfectly setting the mood of the game. And the frequent updates have made the game better, with backpacks, events, and bug fixes. The new Nuclear Winter mode is another addictive addition, with high replayability. Highly recommended. Because of, not in spite of, the contradictions.    … Expand

    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.
