Nov 27, 2018This game is definitely not worth buying even for 10$. It's just so boring.
-
Nov 27, 2018Ugly, dated graphics. Boring, mindless grind play. I want my money back. A stark disappointing contrast to other amazing releases this year. This game has killed faith in Bethesda. If the next Elder Scrolls uses the same game engine, will not be buying.

Nov 30, 2018It has some of the look and feel of a Fallout game but it doesn't deserve to be part of the series. They should have never released this mediocre attempt just to produce an online experience. Instead Bethesda should have realized what they are good at: deep single player RPG's, and improve on that.
-
Dec 2, 2018This game is borderline unplayable at times. They released a game that wasn't ready and what seems to be on a server that can't handle the type of gameplay. Game has a ton of lag, bugs and glitches. I'd spend your money elsewhere.

Dec 4, 2018The game is very boring, online does not make the game better and sometimes annoying at all and you might also be interested in an NPC

Feb 23, 2019Gamers community don’t need this game... All Bethesda fans waiting for a new The Elder Scrolls, continuation of Fallout, but not this abominable try to earn easy money for Todd Howard. I hope it will be a good example for other developers.
-
May 13, 2019I am giving it a 1 for the intent. The game is a bug, it is visually the messiest AAA game I have seen in years plus you wont care for any of the story line since there are 0 NPCs and that takes the soul of the game.
-
May 26, 2019Bethesda, this game is straight doodoo. no npc having game, boring gameplay, buggy asf, broken, pay to win, no fun. This is shameful. Please do not make any future games like this, it is a complete fail.
-
Jun 1, 2019By far the worst game iv ever played not just in bethesda but on the entire ps4 platform itself.. An obvious money grab. I purchased it for 15€ just to see if its as bad as i ultimatley knew it was going to be. 15 is too expensive for trash like this... I feel bad for anybody who spent 200 on power armour edition
-
Jun 2, 2019Worst Bethesda game ever hope Todd Howard gets boowed during next E3 **** you m'y dude
-
Jun 5, 2019I played all fallout games and they were all amazing. I never expected this game to be the worst game I ever played. I tried giving it a chance but the glitches never stopped. The game does not have a good storyline and it was just a waste of money. I feel bad for the fans and who purchased the expensive packet. If I would have waited and see all the flaws, I would have never purchased this game.

Aug 1, 2019I sold this game for 30 bucks,
And im glad
I bought the collectors edition and tried this game in singleplayer (online) and with friends bouth its the biggest crap. -
Feb 1, 2020Bethesda is clearly trying to cash in on a beloved franchise. Avoid at all costs.
-
Nov 1, 2019I waited to give it time. Let them fix it and make it better. I dont feel they have. It is still buggie and i just dont understand why they keep messing up. I feel there greed is showing and i will not buy another game from them without renting it first. If you are enjoying this game good for you but this left a bad taste for me.

Apr 4, 2020es una verdadera decepción un juego lleno de errores imperdonables no entiendo como pudieron sacar un juego que tenia potencial pero fue una m**** de juego
-
Oct 23, 2020Wow was this bad. After playing fallout 4 and really enjoying it, this was really disappointing. I put a good amount of time into it at launch, but I couldn’t even bring myself to finish it. The story (if you can call it that) was lifeless and empty. Just a terrible game and a complete waste of money.

Sep 6, 2021Making an online only game in a singleplayer franchise, Making a cashcow out of a loved ip is a betrayal of the fanbase and shows what's wrong with gaming.
-
Mar 15, 2022Stash limit ruins this game. Bethesda is blatantly using game mechanics as a money grab to force micro transactions and paid memberships
-
Nov 16, 2018If I could give a negative score I would.
HEY BETHESDA ... YOUR 15 YEAR OLD WORLD ENGINE NEEDS A RE-WRITE OR JUST LICENSE CRYENGINE. THANKS - ex LONGTIME FAN -
Nov 15, 2018Fallout 76 is a beta that they want you to buy for full price. They should have gone with Steam Greenlight if they had any respect for their customers.
-

Apr 21, 2021Bought game on sale for $13 on PS Store. Played for about 20 minutes - all of which were inside the intro vault due to 3 disconnects. Game never saved, so had to remake character 2 times. Asked Sony for a refund and they accused my internet of being the problem before issuing a refund. Stick to single-player games Bethesda...
-
Nov 20, 2018Im just angry..thats all. And really? Positive reviews? You are kidding right...
-
Nov 19, 2018Even without the bugs this game would be bad. It removes the most important elements of previous Fallout games (story, choice, interesting characters) and replaces them with the worst elements (not very good FPS combat). This project should never have gone beyond the design phase because the design of the game is fundamentally flawed and a terrible idea.
-
Jun 21, 2019Absolute pile of steaming **** . Bought this on recent Amazon sale for $17 and i think I would have more fun flushing that money down the toilet
-
Nov 14, 2018Not actually Fallout so... whatever this is supposed to be it's not a game that anyone wanted. It's also quite ugly on the eyes. 2010 called, and they want their graphics back.
Music and sound are ok though... so if you're into that - it's fine. -
Dec 3, 2018Online only, no NPC, micro transactions, lag, bugs and glitches left and right. Absolute mess of a game in all fronts that don't deserve to carry the Fallout brand.
Avoid at all costs. Vote with your wallet.
This is not a real Fallout game. -
Nov 16, 2018
-
Nov 15, 2018I won't forgive Bethesda for doing this to the franchise. Stop milking this cow and go back to the drawing board. The Morrowing-era engine in a $60 game in 2018 is preposterous.

Nov 24, 2018The 76 was aspirational. Time to vote with your wallets and let Turd Howard and the rest of Bethesda know that we're not going to accept the broken, buggy games they constantly release over and over.
-
Nov 26, 2018Bethesda deserves all the hate they are receiving.
The game shows everything that is wrong with the video game industry today. An unfinished product, a complete lack of content and infinite and meaningless grinding. By far the worst game of 2018. -
Apr 17, 2020Greetings,
Thank you for contacting the Bethesda Support Team.
Go f**k yourself.
Kind Regards,
Bethesda Support -
Nov 14, 2018Its this a joke??? no NPCS, can unistall the game, a million bugs, same graphics of old games like fallout 4, 24 user onlines?, no steam, what.????????????'
-
Jun 26, 2020Hot hot garbage. Pretty much the worst game I’ve ever played and the single that has bought a once great game studio on par with EA.
-
Nov 16, 2018I try to give this 'game' a chance but it is a glitchy mess. It looks and plays like it is 10 years old. This should have been a Fallout 4 DLC. DUMPSTER FIRE

Jan 16, 2019Oh dear oh dear what a pile of donkey do do. Why oh why has no one mentioned you need ps plus to play it! We were told it was just always online like tera etc. Not impressed just traded it in and only got a tenner...price of a large fish supper which isn't always online ))
-
Nov 20, 2018I love fallout universe.But this is a dissaster i hope Bethesda will learn from it.
-
Nov 17, 2018This isn't a game. It is barely the shell of game.
A mostly non-working trainwreck abusing the franchise name to flog off a mostly dead engine and a whole heap of microtransations.
Already riddled with hacks to boot. Avoid like the plague. -

Jul 12, 2019On JUNE 21 2019 a slew of 10/10 reviews pop up. Reminds me of spam reviews for Raven's Cry (worst game of all time). A statistical blip or is Bethesda spamming positive reviews to prop this game up? I'll believe the ultra low scores having witnessed the decline of Bethesda from great RPG maker to producer of utter garbage.

Nov 15, 2018Bethesda should now be mentioned in the same breath as EA after producing a £50 asset flip, bug ridden loot grind like this

-
Nov 16, 2018Very bad game, it’s always crashes on ps4, can’t connect to the server. It is the worst game I ever play
-
Dec 6, 2018Prior to FO4, Fallout was my favorite series, and I still held out some hope that after the negative reviews of FO4, they'd do something better. This is so much worse than I anticipated. You hurt me, Bethesda.
-
Nov 29, 2018Game is buggy but at least some of the bugs can be fixed. Unfortunately the game also includes micro-transactions. Over priced micro-transactions. It's basically a platform to sell micro-transactions instead of a being decent game. Also launched with crazy expensive special editions that didn't deliver on what was advertised. Cash grab.

Nov 15, 2018Эта игра после релиза совсем не оправдала моих ожиданий - куча нерешенных проблем, баги-лаги и прочее. Тупой,бессмысленный гринд и фарм. Очень быстро становится скучно.
-
Nov 16, 2018Worse game ive ever played. Painfull to see that. I hope Obisidian will return to save that corpse.
-
Nov 14, 2018An online only Fallout isnt a Bethesda Stidios game, and its not a Fallout game. No NPCS, no real story, griefers everywhere, ni real RPG elements such as branching dialogue or companions, no fun. What a waste of dev budget and time.
-
Nov 14, 2018This is not Fallout!
It is just a blatant cashgrab.
Be clever, vote with your money. -
Nov 15, 2018Bethesda, you tried to make a online-multiplayer-cashcow like Rockstar with GTA4. Failed. Everything is wrong with this game. Ancient Engine. Worst controls ever. Develope a new engine and give us ES6 and FO5. This "game" is garbage and wasted time. Uninstalled.
-
Nov 16, 2018This is a empty world..
I feel like it's the setting & Bethesda has yet to implement the game..

Nov 17, 2018This game is boring without the story and doesnt seem like good fallout game without it

Nov 14, 2018Fallout 76, or it should be named Frameout 76 because its massive framedrops. One of the worst optimized videogames so far. Terrible.

Nov 19, 2018Nothing more than a quick, effortless, copy paste cash grab using the same old ancient bug riddled engine. Each time the game gets legitimately slammed Bethesda simply thumbs to yet another page in their "Big Book of Excuses".
Send a message, vote with your wallet. FO is dead.
*Edit- So relieved and happy to see critics see and slam this for what it really is.... an abject piece of crap. -

Jan 22, 2019So 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.
-
Dec 25, 2018Fallout 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.
-
Dec 19, 2018Fallout 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.
