    I enjoy the solitary life that is fallout games but this adds all new elements and friends and live events. It’s really a great game. Best $45 I ever spent.

    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 funYYYYY

    Fallout 76 is a depressing shell of a fallout game, poor online, poor story, and overall a poor game.

    Ich habe alle Fallout Teile bis jetzt gespielt und da durfte Fallout 76 nicht fehlen. Ja es hat noch einige Bugs aber die kann man verschmerzen. Die Grafik ist alt? Egal das macht Fallout aus. Wer Solospiele liebt sollte hier nicht zugreifen aber wer mit freunden gerne zockt ist hier genau richtig.

    No refunds, no fov, insanely shallow, this is a definite dont buy. No substance, no fun without friends, nobody has mics. This game is just not fun. Period. The stash size is a constant 400 which limits you to about 10 hrs of actually playing the game. Absolutely dont buy this.

    Wish I followed the advice of the internet and not buy this game even though I experienced the beta, don't know what I was expecting to change. Not worth the investment of your time into this game. Pick up something else for 60$

    I would like to know why EXACTLY they changed this game so much. Were previous customers actually consulted on what they wanted more of or was it a poorly thought out executive decision. If I wanted to interact with random people and "join up" I would have played Call of Duty. Hydration, Food Consumption, any interaction with other players, fast travel cost should all be OPTIONAL!

    Most of these reviews come from crybabies that expect the company to stick to the same old and not try different things. I'm sure a proper RPG will come from them again and I support this move.    … Expand

    Did you enjoy past fallouts? Can you not get enough fallout? Then this game is for you! Do you like to shoot things? Do you have friends you like to play with? Do you like to play all by yourself? Good! This game is for you! I am absolutely loving the game and been playing it for about 40 hours so far.

It isn't even that I expected more, I just expected a game while this just feel like a complete was of time. I don't really know what they could do to fix this game by way of patchs, I think they just need to accept that it is/was a failed concept and move on. Im just gonna go play Skyrim again.… Expand

This looks like a quick asset flip for some cash while they screw up TES6 with the buggy creation engine. This game looks and plays like it came out 10 years ago.    … Expand

    Horrible..
    Take the old Fallout games. Make it multiplayer though its singleplayer and not multiplayer anyway. Remove everything else except looting, crafting and shooting.
    There is no content what so ever. No ultrawide support. 60 fps.
    I have never seen a finished product so empty than this.

    This is an EPIC ADVENTURE , alone or with your friends, doesn´t matter what you are doing, you can have lots of fun, the game needs some fixes and there´s nothing that cant be fixed in the future, so, ive been playing arround 30 hrs since the launch of the game, I didn´t had the oportunity to play the beta, but, this is a good result of the fallout online experience.

    For a 60$ game, you get random bits of written texts, no dialogue, no voice acting (audio tapes are trash), no story. Take FO4, remove all content but the map and make it different, add a few new mmo monsters, awful bugs (technical but also mobs), cheaters, a broken, out of date engine with poor performance graphics, fetch quests and rampant boredom fever spreading fast.

    Just no, enough. You can't make a solo game without looking dumb and silly in the end and yet you managed to make your situation worse when avoiding making all the things you kinda suck at.

    Any fun to be had from exploring and scavenging will quickly evaporate into frustration due to technical problems at a fundamental level. Core quest design is also heavily hamstrung by not having any NPCs - the lack of consequences or social positive reinforcement for your time and effort makes your adventure seem purposeless.

    This is the first Bethesda game that I will not be purchasing since Morrowind. The whole world seems so lifeless and lonely. It is astonishing that this game is being sold for $60. It should be a 20, maybe 30 dollar at most early access game on steam.

No NPCs, no immersive or fun companions. Just you, wandering around. Endlessly. Instead of NPC quest givers, there are piles of holotapes everywhere. So you no longer even pretend to have a conversation.

    Now, I personally never played Fallout games for the combat because the combat in all of them is quite bad. I've always played Fallout for the dynamic world building and RPG elements. Fallout was the type of game that made me feel like my choices matter; this is seen especially in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Fallout 4, a bit less so.

    The mechanics of this game aren't very different from Fallout 4, a lot of innovations that came from that game are inherited into this game. Fallout 76 has a lot of recycled aspects and because of that it feels like that this game is rushed.

    Now, take the world building, RPG elements, and NPCs out of a Fallout game. What do you get? A glorified battle royale with Fallout 4 combat mechanics, which wasn't even good to begin with.

    Graphics are quite bad; low texture quality, ugly mesh models, and stiff animations make this game an eyesore to look at. Performance is awful as well; how can an engine, that's almost a decade old mind you, run so poorly on the current generation of consoles?

    So yeah, Fallout 76 is a game with such wasted potential. If this game wasn't charged for full price, I would've been more lenient. However, they want me to believe that the game is as good as a game like Red Dead Redemption 2, and that game is superior in almost every single way in my opinion. I would rather recommend you to purchase that game rather than this, especially when Red Dead Online comes out.    … 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.
