(I haven't experienced anything game breaking) I've had a problem with a few of the design choices such as quest markers not properly showing where you need to go which can result in some confusion while looking for the next objective. The game stutters from time to time on my Ps4 Pro but again nothing too irritating. The main issue that has bugged me so far is the fact that textures sometimes don't load in until you are close to the environment and also when the whole areas enemies spawn all in one space and then swarm you which can be massively overwhelming if you are playing solo but I'm sure if we mention these issues to Bethesda they will fix this but we have to remember this is all new ground to them and they need our input and our support to make this the game we really want. I've found that I really enjoy the game down to its core as its more fallout and thats all I could wish for. The world to me is interesting and I don't feel like the lack of npcs is too bad and I'm a solo player. It's far from perfect but it could be one hell of a game if we help them get it right. They've shown they are listening and that's a good sign. I'll be playing the game and supporting it as long as they are and right now I'm enjoying this unique experience that I thought they would never do.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Performance:

    Let's Directly start with the most horrendous aspect of this game. Let me directly state that a company of the size of Bethesda have no excuses delivering us a game of this quality. In my approx. 20 houres of playtime with fallout 76 i encountered numerous crashes, glitches, freezes, FPS drops, pop ins etc.. Out of previous games of Bethesda we know we can expect a certain amount of bugs and glitches, but fallout 76 gives me the overall feeling the game was not ready for a full release.

    Comparing to new release this year, the graphics also feel a bit outdated, although i could put this in context if the earlier mentioned problems wouldn't be present. I truly hope for this aspect of the game Bethesda do tremendous efforts to fix it. Weirdly this game has a potential to become a gem, but at this time from a technical point of view it is a raw uncut gem.

    Story:

    Many people state that fallout 76 consists of an ill, bad story. Comparing to previous entries in the series you could say the serie misses out one of its bigges strenghts of the series... The dialogue. Althought after delving deeper in the underlaying story of Fallout 76, it truly captivates me on what just happended to the local residents who resided in the wasteland after the bombs dropped. The main difference with previous entries is, that in fallout 76 alot of the stories is written down in documents, terminals and holotapes. This way you have to do more effort and actually read stuff to understand the bigger picture of the story.

    Game-play: Fallout 76 has the core game-play elements of fallout 4. Exploring the wasteland is still one of it's biggest strenghts. indirectly the absence of NPC's plays a bit of a negative role in this. While you scour trough the wasteland looking for answers, sometimes it feels like you are just killing without any significance to the world around you. the weight limit and stash limit also have indirectly a big influence on your playtime. It truly is frustrating to return you your camp every five minutes to scrap and reduce your weight. Also the use of foods and drinks in the game is unbalanced. It drains to fast and totally takes the pace out of the game. Simple gameplay tweaks concerning food& drinks, weight & stash limits wil increase the fun in-game significantly.

    Sound: This may be one of the only aspects of the game i can't critsize about. The sound, going from ambient sounds, dialogue, soundtrack is top notch. I truly enjoy putting on the radio and hear ghostrides in the sky blasting out. In this aspect Bethesda did a tremendous job again.

    Conclusion: If you like a game with alot of underlying contect, fallout 76 will be your thing. The world itself is of huge proportions and is a joy for exploring if you dont mind the technical problems the game is having right now. With the right care and fixes this game would be one I advise to my friends to play. But at this very moment I would advise people to wait for patches to start rolling out.

    Sidenote: I truly don't understand why bethesta didn't entrust a multiplayer version of fallout to Zenimax. For me Zenimax did a tremendous job with Elder Scrolls Online. Something which Bethesda has failed to do with Fallout 76. The only hope i have is that Bethesda takes the example of Zenimax and have the same devotion to keep rolling out game fixing patches after launch like Zenimax dit with ESO.

    For now i give this game a 6/10. A generous score for a game with alot of problems in it's current build.    … Expand

    Fallout 76 is....not for everyone. Fans of the series may well be very disappointed with what Fallout 76 has to offer as there is no real campaign to speak of. The lack of NPC's is also a problem for some people. At launch the game has been a buggy mess and has been prone to various problems in this regard.

World overall- Beautiful and interesting locations to discover, although anti climatic if one area already has been looted by someone else (server hop solves it but still) or if an area is suuuper cool but there's literally nothing there and i'm left feeling like "that's it?"...
    That's the best things i feel like (at the moment), I do hope that Bethesta take action and fixes all of the glitches and bugs soon as possible. Because there are a lot of bugs let me tell you, and soo many glitches. The things wrong with this game are not okay and they should have waited with release because they're not in any rush to fix them now...
    My advice to anyone wondering if it's worth the money- you can't really know if you'll like it, but it's definitely not worth the 60 dollars! Buy it on sale of wait and see if the issues get fixed.    … Expand

    In short, the map is pretty, I find the stories interesting, the new V.A.T.S is an improvement over the Fallout 4 V.A.T.S, the map is leagues better but lacking function, the gun combat is more tolerable, the new weapons are a welcome addition, and I like the NPCs. This is based on 10-15 hours of gameplay.

This is based on 10-15 hours of gameplay.

    The long version:

    Section 1: The controls
    This game needs a remapping of the controls for PS4 controllers. Pressing triangle to jump is ackward. The rest of the gaming world has used the X button for jumping. I propose the following button layout for Fallout 5. Using a PS4 controller for reference.

    The Touch Bar= Your map, inventory, upgrade tree, settings, etc.

    X button= Jump
    Press Square= reload
    Hold Square near an NPC= interact with NPC
    Circle button= Crouch
    Triangle button= bring up weapon wheel
    R1= Dedicated grenade button
    L1= Something other than V.A.T.S

    Section 2: The Menu
    The Pip Boy is an annoying interface, just like in Fallout 4. I am proposing this franchise use a Borderlands inspired menu with a perk section, an inventory section, a map, a quest tab. They can even make this in the ugly Pip Boy green if they want. I understand there's some lore about the universe not having invented the transistor, but the Pip Boy still looks ugly.

    Section 3: The Story(ies)
    The main story in Fallout 4 IMO was a steaming pile of horse **** I was not interested in finding "my son" for a second. While I have not completed the main story, I am intrigued by this scorch plague and the reports of flying beasts. I want to know what happens next, unlike Fallout 4 where I only completed story missions by accident. The side missions, so far, seem to have more personality than the Fallout 4 side missions. I am looking forward to seeing what comes next.

    Section 4: The NPCs
    There is a false narrative spreading that this game doesn't have NPCs. This couldn't be farther from the truth. Fallout 76 has some really interesting NPCS. So far my favorites are the drunk bartender from the Nukashine mission and Rose the robot Raider. IMO the NPCs in Fallout 76 are more expressive and interesting. I know people are mad there are no human NPCs, but to be honest none of the human NPCs from Fallout 4 has good lip synching. Until they fix that **** I am content with robot NPCs.

    Section 5: The survival mechanics
    The hunger, thirst, decreased carry capacity somehow make this game more fun than Fallout 4. I can't describe why, but now all the consumables which were worthless in Fallout 4 become far more interesting in Fallout 76. Also these survival mechanics feel right for a world that's only 25 years after the apocalypse.

    Section 6: The Perk Card system
    I loath, hate, and despise the upgrade tree from Fallout 4. What a cluttered, uninteresting piece of **** The perk card system, combined with the now functional V.A.T.S system, means there is better presentation of upgrades and the agility tree is worth a damn! Well done Bethesda, although I am worried they will make perk packs purchasable with atoms, but so far this is not the case.

    Section 7: V.A.T.S
    I hated V.A.T.S in Fallout 4. Was a clunky mess that slowed down combat in what should be a fast moving FPS experience. In Fallout 76 they have redesigned the system to be a simple aimbot. It's now functional, but uninspired. IMO Fallout 5 either needs to scrap the V.A.T.S system to focus on fast and fluid first person shooting, or they need a drastic redesign to make V.A.T.S work in a fast fluid FPS system. I'm imagining a Soldier 76 ultimate style V.A.T.S but that's just my opinion.

    Section 8: The bad
    There are a lot of serious problems with this game that keep it from being scored higher in my book. The microtransactions this game expects for simple cosmetic are shameful. I paid for a full retail game, I want all the damn cosmetics you imported from Fallout 4. Having to scrap weapons to gain weapon upgrades is a confusing system. Why not just scrap the guns for parts, but be able to build better weapons after building a certain quantity and quality of other gun parts. I hope they redesign this system. The map, while being pretty, can be unhelpful at times. I would appreciate specific instructions, not vague mission goals. I would like to be able to see on my map the locations of safes after I discover them, but can't unlock them. This would help me come back for them and force me to explore the map to map their location instead of the location being given to me like Rage 2. The weapon wheel needs work. This is the clunkiest weapon wheel I have used to date. Too many of the necessary building structures are locked behind high atom prices.

And I think the outdated graphics works in the games favor in this case giving it a cool retro art style that just makes a lot of sense.

    Fallout 76s world is functional. Someone really had fun with the map editor. They're on-pair with Fallout 4, in some cases even better. The places feel lived-in and every town went trough little transformations that where build by the survivors.

    Shame you don't meed a single one of them.

    What you meet are crystal zombies, molerats, wild dogs and ghouls that will some times spawn in hordes five meters behind you like in an early 2000s mmo whenever the game feels you need some action. Not that it would be a challenge tho. You can easily outperform the ai by simple walking backwards and shoot the approaching enemies. Often enough they will bug on reaching you, make their attack animation. Then stand there for a second like they just forgot what they wanted to do before approaching you once again.

    Public quests are similiar. I've seen more interesting ones in RIFTS initial release - in 2011. But they don't matter - the loot that they offer doesn't matter. Like most loot in the game. After finding more then fifty pipe pistols it starts to get tideous.

    Fallout 76 feels like Fallout 4 - just less. Less crafting. Less building. Less enemies. Less character development. I would write less rpg too, but the truth is that Fallout 76 isn't an rpg anymore. It's a mediocre shooter with progression trough lootboxes.

    It's noteworthy that there's a surprising lack of clothing and furniture in the game. The cynic in me assumes that it has to do with the built-in online shop. As the 60$ initial cost where merely an entry fee to the shop. Here you can buy hats for 5$, power armor paintjobs for up to 20$ or new furniture for your base. As well as looks for your character and other cosmetics. Even clothing.

    Which is kinda neeeded if you want to stick out. The Character Editor is even more basic then Fallout 4s, which is baffling considering this is a multiplayer title. You will see the same 15 faces again and again. Because that's all you get.

    Last but not least is the inventory management and menu control: It's bad. On the pc, building a base feels like playing the Piano. There was no effort in improving controls. It's really, really dissapointing.

    Fallout 76 feels like something the B team made with existing assets. A quirky little thing for learning and testing the waters. Sold for 20 bucks. But it's not. It's a fully fledged product for 60$ with an in-game shop containing items for hundreds of dollars. And to me, it feels like someone wanted to make the most money with the least amount of work possible. The truly nefarious could even go as far and say that it's another take on paid mods by turning the Fallout franchise in a 'live service'.    … Expand

    As a Bethesda fan who followed them since Oblivion; First off let me just say I am completely appalled that Bethesda thought this was okay. Especially after that "save single-player" video stunt they pulled last year.

    Fallout 76 is Bethesda: Buggy, crooked, and most of all a slap in the face to fans who supported them throughout the years. Bad view distance rendering, etc. And all the hallmarks that made Bethesda thrown out the window.

    i could do a whole rant about Fallout 76. But honestly it's been beaten to death. By fans and critics

    So why the 5 out of 10? Well from a Survival gamer point of view. Sadly among this wreckage it's still pretty damn ultra terrible. But! It's your typical survival game. Set in the Fallout universe. Another game cashing in on an otherwise somewhat forgotten genre. Survival Games.

    if you look past the crap that is Fallout 76 and what could've been. It's an average survival game. Now some might and WILL say: "But uh. Those survival games are polished, etc." and that is true. However like some of those survival games. There isn't really any story or npcs. But you, enemy npcs, and other players trying to survival on a gigantic map.

    You can build your own base, set up jobs for each of your teammates, do challenges, complete quests, etc. Essentially this is literally a post-apocalyptic survival simulator with the name Fallout slapped on it to bring more attention and all of that dollar cheddar.

    Do i recommend this game? Hell no. Play any other game BESIDES Fallout 76. But! If your a survival gamer enthusiast (and it's your money btw) then if you wait till this game goes on sale for a decent price then it may be worth it.

That being said, there are so many bugs that I am lead to believe this game was not finished properly before release and that is very disappointing. One major quest cannot be completed because you have to kill some guy and when you finally get there, the guy is already dead, this is a disgrace!
    The crafting is very cool and there are some nice weapons + many places to explore on the map + colorful landscapes, but the graphis overall suck big time compared to other ps4 pro-enhanced titles.
    I like this game a lot but I hope they fix the bugs because this game is sometimes unplayable, yes it's that bad. This game crashes my ps4 pro so I have to unplug the power cord and put it back in for my ps4 to work again, but I keep playing it because it's pretty damn good.    … Expand

    Fallout 76 is Fallout 4 without dialogs and with new map. Boring quests. Boring events. 400 max weight at your base. A lot of bugs. Very bad interface even on PC. 1 of 10.

    I will not complain about bugs, because it has already become a "trick" of AAA projects

    Very boring game. The same type of quests, an illusion of a fight between players, a lot of repetitive actions, a stupid plot. This is their first experience in creating an mmo project. It is unfortunate that the game has a huge universe, but it was not used.

It is unfortunate that the game has a huge universe, but it was not used. Guys, you should have done as in the World of Warcraft. You needed to come up with a global and interesting story, as in single-player games, and the multiplayer part should simply complement the storyline.    … Expand

    Perhaps in the future, the game will have content, but now it is empty, like the head of those designers and writers who made it.

    The Beta was terrible and so is the launch of the game. The bugs have not been ironed out.

    I give it a 5 not taking into consideration the micro transactions and bugs.

    Taking into consideration the bugs and micro transactions this game is a 2/10 haha :D " I WANT MY MONEY BACK"

    Definitely didn't expect this from Bethesda. The game has a few unique perks of it's own and what it's aiming to do is ambitious but it severely lacks care. The quality is passable and mediocre at best- the frame rates are in-consistent, the combat is alright, and the graphics are bland with lots of visual glitches, and the world can be only defined as quantity over quality.

    Fallout 76 is definitely a game with flaws, but I do not understand the people who are giving the game a zero. The game suffers from bugs, sometimes pretty major ones that cause hard crashes, but nothing worse than any other Bethesda game at launch. This isn't the typical Fallout experience, and if you intend to buy this game and you are expecting that, you are simply not going to enjoyFallout 76 is definitely a game with flaws, but I do not understand the people who are giving the game a zero. The game suffers from bugs, sometimes pretty major ones that cause hard crashes, but nothing worse than any other Bethesda game at launch. This isn't the typical Fallout experience, and if you intend to buy this game and you are expecting that, you are simply not going to enjoy yourself. If you enjoy experiencing the lore or narrative of Fallout, this is not a game for you. If you enjoy interesting companions who grow alongside you, this is not a game for you. If you enjoy a world that feels lived in, this is not a game for you. However, if you played one of the Fallout games and thought, "This would be even better if my friend could jump in," then this is the game for you. You can spend endless hours running around with your friends, building bases, completing quests, or hunting down strange enemies. I would not, however, recommend playing this game solo. If you play this game solo, every minor issue will become frustrating, and the major issues will be rage-inducing. You'll find yourself in encounters which were obviously designed for multiple players, often resulting in your own death or retreat.
    Overall, Fallout 76 is mediocre. Yes, you can find some fun in it, but you will have to deal with many technical issues (at least for now) and there is not a very good story behind the game. I would recommend playing this game with friends or not at all.    … 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.
