    As a die-hard Fallout fan, I can only say that this game is horrible.
    From an fallout perspective, this game is anything but fallout.
    Lore breaking changes that don't make sense, no dialogue system or quests what so ever (a first in the fallout franchise). Yes, it is a big open world, but it's empty.

    If you are a true fallout fan, this game Is absolutely not for you.
    If you are a fan of simple sandbox games, like Rust, Conan exiles, ARK, but you always wanted that with a fallout skin, then this is not a bad game. Not the best, not the worst.

    See this as a Fallout for kids.
    A simple fallout game, with low effort, that's not meant for the fans.

    Fallout new Vegas was made in a shorter time period than 76, and simply is way better.
    Maybe it's time that Bethesda looks at obsidian for their spin off titles again.

    Unfortunately Bethesda hasn't listened to the fans since fallout 4, and to think they'll change is just a pipe dream.    … Expand

    Something of an online multiplayer spin-off adapted from the previous title, Fallout 4. The main storyline, dialogue system and human characters have been replaced with repeated world events (similar to the never-ending radiant quests of Fallout 4) and side-missions conducted through robot characters and audio logs found around the map.

The main storyline, dialogue system and human characters have been replaced with repeated world events (similar to the never-ending radiant quests of Fallout 4) and side-missions conducted through robot characters and audio logs found around the map. The game emphasizes the survival elements of Fallout 4’s ‘hardcore’ mode and expands upon them, making the game more in line with other sandbox survival games like Rust and ARK... only Fallout-themed. You’ll be expected to eat, drink, cure diseases and take medication where appropriate.

    The game's core gameplay boils down to exploring the map, killing monsters, looting items, building bases, and crafting/upgrading weapons/armor. The game puts you in a world with 23 other players and you can choose to go it alone, work with other players, or fight against them in the limited PvP combat. There are workshops you can fight over that provide resources and act as semi-permanent bases on the map. You can build smaller, personal bases with the CAMP system in certain areas of the map also. PvP can only be initiated if you attack another player's workshop, or if you damage the player and they damage you back. There is also a bounty system that puts a prize on your head and leaves you open to being attacked/killed. Death in Fallout 76 in general doesn't hold much at stake. If you die, you'll drop junk from your inventory -- all of which is easily replaced, as the game is constantly spawning more of it everywhere you go. You can also respawn wherever you want, which makes dying a convenient mode of transportation.

    Combat with non-player-characters in Fallout 76 is almost identical to Fallout 4, both in how it controls and how combat engagements play out. The game typically spawns waves of hostile NPCs as you enter a zone or event area, and will sometimes respawn them if you stick around certain areas for too long. You’ll mostly be fighting robots, feral ghouls, super mutants, mirelurks, and a new adversary known as the ‘Scorched’ which can only be described as repurposed feral ghouls from Fallout 3 that can use weapons. There are also bigger, less common monsters you will eventually come across. While they may seem threatening at first, much of the time they can be outsmarted by exploiting their poor pathfinding and AI. The toughest of all adversaries you will face in Fallout 76 is known as the "Scorch Beast"; a mutated bat that is very similar to the dragons in Skyrim. The winged menace will endlessly fire magical radiation projectiles at you and take 10,000 gunshots before dying, making it more of a world boss.

    Weapon and armor variety is in the same vain as Fallout 4, with some new additions (mostly new outfits that can be worn over armor). Customization is also about the same. You unlock new mods for weapons/armor by scrapping them for parts. Your gear will break after some time and can be repaired at a workbench, though it is usually cheaper to simply craft a new one if you've learned the recipe. Gear also has its own levels which will scale with your own level, and so you will often find a weapon that is unusable simply because it boasts a higher level than your character. You’ll need to collect junk across the map to make use of all of the crafting facilities in the game, which can be a chore to organize and store. There is a universal storage chest that pops up at many key locations, and can also be put in your own base, but beyond that you will have to craft more storage containers in your own base.

    The game revamps Fallout 4’s perk system with a new “perk card” system. Each level you will gain 1 perk point that can be spent on a new card for each skill in the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. skill system. You will occasionally unlock perk card packs, which reward you with a small assortment of perk cards. Each card gives you a perk, and multiple cards of the same perk can be combined to provide a higher level perk card. Perk cards can be added/removed at a whim, and so your character build is a lot more flexible than in previous Fallout titles. As with the single-player games, you can expect a number of builds that are simply overpowered in PvP or otherwise.

    If most of your fun while playing Fallout games is made up of exploring open worlds, shooting-and-looting monsters, crafting items and upgrading your character, this game will likely keep you entertained for a couple of weeks. If you care about any of the RPG elements of Fallout, enjoy a consistent lore, storyline, dialogue, and a sense that your actions and choices are leading up to something larger in scale, then you should steer clear of this game as it's not for you.    … Expand

    No story. No NPCs. No comprehensible lore. And putting aside the hollow feeling you get in your gut when you see a series that used to be a critique of the consumer culture of America and the dangers of unthinking violence, turned into a mindless, bug-ridden, soulless game - it's heartbreaking.

    Fallout 4 may not have been the funnest game in the world, but the game at least worked. The story may have been fairly shallow, but it made sense and there was quite a bit to it. The world may have been a tad empty, but there was no doubt that there was stuff to do and things to explore. The combat may have had too much emphasis on gunplay, but the gunplay was the most fluid of the Fallouts and combat was easy and worked really smooth.

    Not this game. This game doesn't work - it simply does not work. The game is not fun no matter how you slice it. Your framerate will drop to 15 FPS on console if you're ever in combat; the combat is very clunky and buggy; the graphics are okay, but the whole world looks more like a really good Fallout 4 mod than a new game; the storyline is GARBAGE because there is no story line, and while I know it wasn't necessarily supposed to have a main story, the sidequests are uninspired, recycled garbage that are meant to artificially extend the life of the game. The gun play is very difficult because of the sever frame rate drops. The building mechanics are glitchy and VERY restrictive. You cannot build a massive base like you could in Fallout 4, because the budget is so low due to trying to keep the frame rate workable.

    Lazy, uninspired, dull, unfun, lifeless game that will bore you very quickly. This game is a chore to play.    … Expand

Lastly, I think there are some major exploits going on. I was a level 4 and got PVP killed by another player with 2 shots. I hadn't fired on this other player and was just exploring. I don't mind being killed, it just shows how many problems this game has. Bethesda just has this left over engine sitting around and no talent left in their ranks. That is plain to see. I give it a 2 out of 10 because I need to justify to myself that I spent 60 on this, otherwise I would give it a 1. It's not as bad as No Man's Sky but it's pretty close.… Expand

    Fallout 76 is a game that has merit (such as the improved environmental design and art direction) but is heavily marred by issues beginning at the conceptual levels. The premise of Fallout 76 has several issues such as the removal of any human npc’s. This creative decision leaves the world feeling empty, lifeless and uninteresting.

The premise of Fallout 76 has several issues such as the removal of any human npc’s. This creative decision leaves the world feeling empty, lifeless and uninteresting. This game also focuses on areas of the fallout franchise that were not fan favorites (shooting, looting and fetch quests) in a blatant attempt for Bethesda and, by extension, Zenimax to get a piece of the ‘games as a service’ pie and to provide the company with a reliable source of finance for years to come, through the overpriced ‘Atom Shop’. Furthermore, the games horrendous performance on anything that isn’t an Xbox One X, the platform this game was clearly built for if the fact that the first gameplay trailer was announced at the Microsoft’s E3 conference, hampers any real enjoyment possible in this game. Overall this Fallout 76 is a definite avoid until it goes on sale for the price the game actually is worth ($30).… 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.
