    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I will not list all the limitations of this wretched game since hundreds of other users have done it for me. I'll just add something from myself. I sincerely regret that Bethesda has acted like this with Fallout. I just can not hold back tears. Todd, thank you for killing this series of games.… Expand

    As a Bethesda fan since Morrowind teleported me to another world when I was a kid...this is absolutely embarrassing.

There's barely any writing in this game, and it's all delivered through mindnumbing goddamn audiologs. The rest of the experience is equally half baked, and relies so heavily on the genuinely awful creation engine and boring, repetitive combat. The multiplayer does little to lift up the rest of the experience. Wait for red dead online to come out instead… Expand

    Here's what I THOUGHT Fallout 76 would be. A 20-30 minute quick games where levels carry on through each time you play in a Fortnite style of gameplay. Players would do the character creation, follow the story from emerging from the vault and then get dropped into a menu (or GTA open world) where they could join quick matches.

    I have been a huge fan of the franchise. Replayed Fallout 1, 2 and 3 several times. Fallout: New Vegas, very good in my opinion. Fallout 4 not as good as the previous one, but still, it felt alive.

    The feeling I get after playing for like 20 hours, is like if I was doing a game and I would tell a friend: "OK, so this is the world, this is where people will be able to walk. I just need to fill it because it's empty." It is absurdly empty. It feels dead. The holotape system is awful and irritating, and doesn't help at all to follow a quest path so you can immerse in the story . All of them feel random tapes. ALL OF THEM.

    CONS:
    Enemies. Enemies? What enemies? All I'm killing are scorched dudes. I killed 2 roaches and 2 mole rats. The rest scorched people.

    Paid content. You can actually pay MORE money to buy stuff (very **** in my opinion) for the game. Like how can you even do that? Where is your integrity? In my wallet? Keep looking then. I find this part extremely hilarious XD Like for real. You can PAY MORE MONEY. Who would do that?

    The no NPC system kills the vibe. To be honest with you, every time I play I keep thinking that I will find a hidden NPC. But it's not gonna happen so... f*ck that.

    PROS:
    Let me state that in NO WAY, the pros make the game any better. Not at all.

    Looks like mods for weapons and apparel are OKish.

    The C.A.M.P it has a loooooot of problems (just like in FO4). But I kind of like the building of your own base.

    I would suggest another title for this game: No Man's Sky from 2016.    … Expand

Enemies are coming in such big numbers, that you basically die every few minutes. You have to collect and produce stuff all the time - otherwise you'll die. It's just stressing you out. I think I will delete the game and replay Fallout 4 with some mods and additional DLCs. That's way more fun.    … Expand

The game glitching and shutting down twice after the 47GB upgrade was even more maddening. I've built my place I have my work benches and I can survive all within five hours of gameplay. I'm now left with no point in the game. My character could survive forever. Anytime I get matched with someone they just breath heavily into a mic and are also lost in the fact of what we're supposed to be doing. Not only that anytime I've ever died nobody has come to revive my character they just walk right by because theres zero rewards for them to save you. I would not ever purchase this game and I strongly want my money back. This game was merely a copy and paste of fall out 4 without the story and heart. Its a pure cash grab do not purchase this game...… Expand

    76 has come out after Fallout 4, and yet there is literally LESS in 76 than in its predecessor. I can't believe that this isn't a joke. This game feels like a hollow shell of a game. They've literally taken Fallout 4, removed everything that made it a good game, and sold it back to us as a AAA game with a $60 price tag. The game crashes ALL THE TIME, the bugs are actually ridiculous, the world is empty, quests are boring and uninspired, and I happen to run into another player once every 2-3 hours. Talk about an immersive multiplayer experience!

    There are no NPCs because Bethesda was lazy and we can all see it. The holotapes are annoying and make for an unpleasant game experience. Very disappointing game! Nothing to do with the atmosphere of a fallout game, instead it feels empty and looks like a easy zero-effort cash grab. A $60 beta that will most likely be abandoned in 6 months

    Bethesda should have named this game Sellout 76. They do not care and it is evident by the garbageness of this game. They have completely sold out for money and produced in garbage product in hopes of making a quick dollar. Any smart person would avoid these titles and shame the company for producing them.

    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.
