    I'm still going strong several months after release. I've played Fallout 76 far more than any other Fallout game. There were no doubt some issues at launch, but the game has taken way more abuse than is justified. The updates since launch have added a lot of cool new features and ways to play.

    I'm looking forward to the new additions coming out throughout the year.

    A game that had a lot of problems at launch, but since the Wastelanders update it's a different game altogether, give it a go, many hours of fun

    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.

    I cant really see where the bad criticism comes from. Sure the game has its bugs but so has most games in the beginning. Played it now for a weekend straight and that alone is worth its money. And it still have so much more to explore.

    It's not a perfect game, but there is a huge explorable world, and a constantly updating amount of content. The newly added Battle Royale mode is a blast! The lack of NPC's isnt bothersome, it really adds to the ambience of the freshly apocalyptic world.

    Even though flawed and buggy it still is a pretty good game especially If you have friends to play with, if you don’t mind that there no NPS’s (wich they are adding in September) it’s still stays true to the fallout genre and serves a really fun game with interesting quests and lore.

I really rated Fallout 3, Fallout 4 was good, Fallout 76 started off terribly and seemed sort of pre-release standard (Bethesda seem to do this all the time). Fallout 76 has had several updates and DLC added which have transformed the game for me, yes there are still a few bugs but now there are separate servers for PVE and PVP and another for the new Battle Royal aspect. As I am not unemployed or a student I find the missions and content enough to keep me busy within the game as a single PVE oriented player. I have enjoyed base building, farming, trading (via vending machines), getting and upgrading power armour, tackling the ghouls,scorched, mutants and many other creatures in the game. Some of my best experiences have been casually interacting with other players. I am not in a group or a clan and normally play alone, however the Fallout 76 community is very good; there are some idiots, spoiled little kids and dicks as in any on-line game but in general mostly everyone I have met has been friendly. My first interaction was whilst building a base as a level 10, a level 100 guy came to see what I was up to and gave me some tips and a really good weapon. Later another guy saw me selling junk at Morgan Town Station at level 20 and said if I helped him collect some items he would help me out as he liked helping new players. He showed me new areas on the map, made and gave me under armour, power armour and upgraded weapons and ammunition, that experience changed my play. I am now level 100+ with upgraded T51-b and X-01 power armour and can tackle a scorch-beast (though it's still better with a second player) , on a casual basis I give food, water, weapons and hopefully some help to newer players I meet as the community did this for me. Those previous experiences changed the game for me. There are voice comm's in game so you can interact and If there's an annoying kid, gang of dicks or total ass on the sever, server hop, there's plenty other servers but in my experience those sorts are few and far between. The Fallout community was, and is more than just the actual game. I for one am enjoying Fallout 76, the updates and DLC just add more for my enjoyment but I guess at the end of the day it boils down to what type of game/experience you were looking for. In my opinion if you want instant gratification and pay-to-win this is not the game for you. If you want to PVE with casual player interaction at your choosing then this is the game for you, with the added bonus of PVP and Battle Royal servers if you fancy a go at that.… Expand

Base building has been overhauled and is much more user friendly than launch (can build bigger/better). Dungeons are different play modes have been added. NPCs will be coming to the game. You can now sell your unused legendaries to a special vendor to trade for the items you actually want. Bethesda has been listening and i'm actually really impressed with how much progress they've made in this short time. Looks like they're just getting started too.… Expand

    I've seen all the complaints of problems with gameplay and the Atom shop related to early and later dates after the initial release and the Wastelanders release

    I really love this game. it seems simplistic at first glance but there is so much detail added to the world and the gameplay, I have to commend the designers.

    I can't comment on PVP, but I play solo and in a team with friends. I have noticed any griefers and the community is helpful and friendly.

    I understand there was complaints about the amount of content before the free Wastelanders release, but I can't fault it now. As a previous WoW and Guild Wars player, plus many other solo games, I'm enthralled with Fallout 76

    The base-building aspect of the game adds a very pleasan't thrill to the entire experience. Also the Vendor machine mechanism of selling in-game items to other players for in-game currency, is also a brilliant idea. As a busy person, I appreciate the Atom shop which allows (for the most part) cosmetic improvements to be purchased for real money. The range and number of these items are a pleasant surprise

    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.
