    I'm enjoying it and look forward to what it will become with continued support. If you enjoy Fallout games then you won't be too put off with the occasional glitch or bug and if you don't then you were probably never going to buy it anyway.

The map is huge but without content, loot is also a joke becouse you find only junk, no matter where you are. Paid fast travel is the definitive insult to all the players becouse they basically stretched the few ideas they had on a huge low resolution and heavily bugged environment. Questing is also a nightmare becouse mobs are on random levels all around the map, so even if you follow the "story" (read on terminal/find stuff/try to figure out why the markers are pointing on random positions/repeat) you'll find yourself stuck in areas with mobs killing you way too fast.
    Every inch of the game is filled with frustration: worst gaming experience of my life. If you want to waste your money, just flush 50 bucks in the toilet, film it and post it on youtube: you'll be satisfied with video views and you will have also saved 10 bucks. Bethesda, you'll never see me again on a day one. Never.    … Expand

    Of course it has bugs, of course it has problems, of course it still have things to improve a lot, but damn, it's fun! It's your usual Fallout experience with a new narrative system and the possibility to do things with friends, and take photos of everything. This game will become a 10/10 in some months, I'm sure, plus, you can find for under 25€ now, go and buy it ;)

    it is no where near as brutal and punishing (until hardcore servers are released) as other survival titles. if playing survival has scared you off, this is the title to jump in and get your feet wet.

    the bugs are pretty typical of an mmo upon release, you may wish to wait a month or two before purchase for those to be ironed out.

    lastly, i recommend any of the free build helpers to help you plan your s.p.e.c.i.a.l. points, so you dont waste time on a poor build.    … Expand

    It hurts so bad to see the how the latest game of the franchise i've known and loved has been so mistreated. It is unfinished, rushed, lacks content, lacks story and has a ton of upseting bugs. I've asked for refund already. Just hope better for the elder scrolls franchise.

    I'm a huge Fallout fan but when the game crashes, is super slow at points and out of the blue your entire camp with turrets, generators etc all disappear forever it puts you off playing and wish you didn't pay the full price for the game.

    Oh also Bethesda now say you can't get a refund, so stuck with a poorly written/developed game.

    5: average/mediocre/playable
    4: bad
    3: very bad
    2: terrible
    1: unacceptable/unplayable
    0: malware

    Stability/Bugs:
    Fallout 76 is full of bugs that affect your gameplay.
    Enemies just spawn around you, teleport around, move at ridiculous speeds, ...
    Players are being severely punished for unstable servers.
    The game's networking system allegedly opens the floodgates for cheaters and hackers and is therefore potentially harming.

    The Story:
    There is no proper story, human NPCs are completely missing without explanation.
    The story contradicts the plot.
    The start of the game is uninspired and has no logic at all.
    The most common enemy, the scorched, have a very contradictory backstory.

    Gameplay Design:
    When starting the game, it sometimes spawns you in the middle of a nuclear explosion, surrounded by enemies, in the middle of an irradiated river or in other problematic positions.
    It also very often just removes your house from the game, apparently because "something" was in the same spot on that particular server.
    You can't place buildings where they were before, because placement by building parts and placement by blueprint have different placement constraints.
    In certain areas enemies just respawn within seconds.
    Sometimes enemies' corpses just disappear within seconds before anyone can loot them, despite the game having a mechanic that preserves corpses for looting.
    Playing together (which is the base idea of the game) is made difficult when player's levels differ.
    If you have 2 lvl20 players in your party and 1 lvl40 player, the game will spawn tons of lvl40 enemies on events and quests, which lvl20 players will have a hard time fighting against and won't be rewarded appropriately either.
    PvP is made hard to pull off, puts attackers on a disadvantage, serves no purpose and raises the question if it would even benefit the game if it was patched to actually work.
    Except for a bunch of voice recordings and a variety of mostly very common MMO quests, the world has no substantial reason to be visited.
    The leveling system, espcially the perk cards, is very bad:
    Through the franchise it went from "design a very special/specific person, and then keep them alive as they develop as a character" to "shuffle cards to find out what you're able to do" with a severe disconnect between the character's abilities from who they are - since the player character themselves has no personality.

    Level/Map Design:
    The world map was clearly rushed out, since there are quite a lot of random objects floating high in the sky which were probably not cleaned up properly (which usually happens when the creator is in a hurry).

    Graphics:
    Alpha-textures flicker for a while occasionally.
    Godrays sometimes come out of the ground.
    Shadows sometimes follow the player's point of view, instead of actual light sources.
    Depth of field can't be turned off, sometimes causes unsharpness to occur in the middle of the screen and occasionally misses out a mode-switch which causes you to see the world in the blurry DoF, that you see at the borders of your scope, while not using your scope.
    The game sometimes destabilizes and loads low-LOD objects instead of high-LOD objects.

    Recommendation:
    I highly recommend to put this game into re-development.
    It is riddled with bugs, has a contradicting uninteresting story and suffers from very poor gameplay design decisions. Comparing this game with the rest of the installments of the franchise a purely Co-Op based Online functionality would have been better to bring players together. PvP could still happen through a separate optional system (such as signing up for it at an arena). The start of the game could have been staged as a dire struggle for survival of the (actually alive and mostly computer controlled) population of Vault 76 as they open the doors (together!) for the first time with story/quest initiators like missile silos or the nuclear power plants Co-Op players could for example take control over an NPC they created themselves, who is one of the vault dwellers. Knowing that this game is probably too big of a failure and the old storytelling method is just that: old, I recommend a reboot with said changes, that puts effort into proper dramaturgy.    … Expand

    So this game has its moments but only with friends. As a solo player it is a very lackluster experience and reminded me a lot of No Man's Sky. The lack of any coherent story and the clunky controls in both combat and camp creation leaves nothing else to praise. The graphics are, as expected of Bethesda, outdated.

The lack of any coherent story and the clunky controls in both combat and camp creation leaves nothing else to praise. The graphics are, as expected of Bethesda, outdated. While it runs fine on my overpriced system it is nothing to be happy about. Because this is an online only game, extensive mods that would likely fix or mask over the glaring issues mentioned before would be impossible. The fact that bugs from the inception of the 'Creation engine' are still present is baffling. Apparently the game physics being tied to the fps was patched the first day, and if so, it must've been a simple fix; why was this not fixed in earlier Bethesda titles then? I haven't had many game breaking bugs but have disconnected multiple times, losing progress each time. Overall this game is a disappointment and is definitely not worth even $20 at this time. I was expecting a Borderlands like experience which would've been fantastic. The backlash wouldn't have been so bad if it were a DLC for Fallout 4, though I understand that technical limitations make this impossible. I will see in a few years if this project will be fleshed out and improved or prematurely abandoned like Fallout 4. Looking forward, I have very low expectations of Bethesda's future releases.… Expand

    The game is borderline broken. There are so many bugs and glitches it's not even funny and just pathetic. The engine is outdated and should just be poot down out of its misery. They should have just created a new engine for this game. The servers are just ****.

The next worst part is that the respawn puts you FAR away from your 'Last Death' and often drops you into an unsurvivable situation with Supermutants, etc. No way back! Aaaarrrggghhh! The third worst feature is that there is absolutely nothing and no one to care about in the story. This is because it is all told through holotapes that are almost impossible to listen to without being attacked and killed by the Scorched ot Supermutants or, or, or. Infuriating!

    I see a lot of phony reviews both positive and negative, so I'm gonna give my best shot at a fair objective review.

    Lets start with the limited positives: - Huge map (this probably the only impressive part of the game) - decent survival mechanics They won't amaze you, but they are fairly deep while not being too obnoxious - Group Objectives are fairly well done Perhaps the only    I see a lot of phony reviews both positive and negative, so I'm gonna give my best shot at a fair objective review.

    Lets start with the limited positives:
    - Huge map (this probably the only impressive part of the game)
    - decent survival mechanics
    They won't amaze you, but they are fairly deep while not being too obnoxious
    - Group Objectives are fairly well done
    Perhaps the only actual content worth playing, sadly they are usually fairly tough to complete solo meaning solo players completely miss out on the only content worth playing.
    - Nice environments
    A few places on the map are really nice.

    Negatives:
    - No reason to do anything (really, there is just no point)
    - Holotapes, Holotapes, and did I mention...Holotapes
    Whoever thought tape recordings were an adequate replacement for NPCs should be fired. Its soulless and tiresome. It defeats the point in tracking down Suzie when you know all that is gonna be there is her corpse with a tape next to it.
    - Servers have very few players on them
    For a game that focuses on multiplayer there are very few multiplayer interactions. Largely because there are only like 3-5 players on a server at the same time and often their levels aren't even close so they have no reason to play together
    - Slow progression
    And I mean painfully slow, It definitely feels slower than single player Fallouts. Its clear that rather than give us actual content, Bethesda decided to drag what little content there is out as much as possible. But its not fun, and It makes it nearly impossible to catch up to your higher level friends; which kills the multiplayer angle. Either they are stuck in low level areas not having fun, or you get dragged into high level areas where you still don't level very fast and struggle constantly.
    - Laggy servers
    - Tons of bugs
    - Frame rate drops constantly, and often for no reason; sometimes down to an absolute crawl.
    I think you get better frame rates watching a flipbook set in motion than this game.
    - V.A.T.S
    Idk why they bothered trying to keep it, might as well have just removed it for this installment. Its ultimately fairly useless in anything except pvp.
    -PvP
    Should be a positive, but its executed so poorly its relegated to the negatives. For those that don't know, both players have to to consent to pvp via shooting each other once but the player who fires first is at an extreme disadvantage. From what I can tell, nobody even bothers trying to pvp because there are no rewards or incentives and its not even competitively fair. Aside from that one guy who is level 40 trying to goad level 5s into pvping with him.

    Conclusion:
    Fallout 76 does a couple of things right and a whole lot of things wrong. While there are certainly some nice environments and moments you can enjoy; most of the time they are ruined by lag, bugs, or the overwhelming feelings of pointlessness. Its a multiplayer game that you spend most of your time alone and lonely in without any writing or story driven narrative to follow to motivate you to progress. I'm honestly not sure who enjoys this game, but I'm guessing not many people do. Its not a good single player experience, its not a good co-op experience, its not a good pvp experience. Its just a game that tries to do everything and excels at nothing.

    I am giving it a 3/10 because it does have a few things that can be appreciated and I feel somewhat generous at that score.    … 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.
