    It's funny how a game I hated turned out to be one of the most fun I've played in years, the game has improved a lot since launch and is packed with content these days.

    People missed out on this game when jumping on the hate bandwagon. Great world building and fun online leads to the best exploration with friends would have in any game. Sure its different but that was known going in.

    It’s a good game, if you don’t like the genre and don’t like the gameplay that’s on you. Play something else instead of pretending it’s bad. In regards to bugs and things I played hours and hours on Xbox one s and never had any bugs. Definitely not any gamebreaking things. If you’re a fallout fan then give it a chance and don’t expect to be disappointed be optimistic.

PVP is surprisingly well implimented all things considered, it is optional and based on mutual consent. the one noteworthy downside is that powerscaling does not hold up to some playstyles, which can result in PVE fights randomly getting very easy or uneccesarily punishing depending on your loadout and skills. the building system is tolerable, but copied from other games. the crafting of guns, food, alcohol, and armor is enjoyable and extensive. in bethesda fashion there are a lot of little easter eggs all across the map. events are enjoyable to play. it took a long time to get here, but i like it. the graphics could be better, but the world still looks nice. the world is well designed, and offers variety while also not feeling to packed. fast travel is costly (in caps) but cheesable, which in my opinion is the best way to do it. its a good bethesda game. it took 5 years to get there, but it got there.4/5… Expand

    Game has come a long way since first released. Reviewers should really give it a new look over. Excellent content. Great graphics. A huge world to explore. The kind of game you can sink thousands of hours into.

    I loved the game since I bought it in 2021, because they had already corrected the errors it had. With Wastelanders, Steel Dawn and Steel Reign I enjoyed them, only the latter lacked more history. Still, the game is even more enjoyable when there are almost no bugs. Only there are a few Griefers that roam the game. Take precautions.

    I'm just gonna start out by saying; this is a Fallout game. This game was intended to just be an addon to Fallout 4, adding online capabilities.

Yes, the game is intended to be played with friends but you can't make a Fallout game without a proper story (it's like making a sandwich with no filling. The game needs more, I suggested before that you should be able to play in a solo world (like Forza Horizon 4). But what I didn't ask for is a 13$ monthly subscription. Bethesda basically revived Fallout 76 by adding the Wastelanders, this added life to Appalachia! For a person that has had the game since it came out, this is a HUGE relief. Thanks Bethesda. Also, if you're low on stimpaks (like me), go to Morgantown Airport, there are alot of medical supplies there.… Expand

    Fallout 76 is a fun, entertaining and interesting game. There is plenty of things you can do, everywhere you go you can find weird monsters or a place that has a story behind it.

In my opinion, he game has become more solo-friendly than what it was a year ago. Now the game does have some issues, such as invincible mobs, or headless mobs, nothing too game-breaking. I haven`t had any problems with the camp. I`ve been moving to different regions across the map and never have I had anything buggy happen to me, in the end I believe people should give this game a try with or without friends. Props to Bethesda for adding new content and fixing most of the annoying bugs.… Expand

    The Wastelanders DLC breathed a whole new life into this game. It has an actual story, actual factions, actual NPCs, meaningful and engaging questlines, and new gear that is very fun to use.

    It's true that fallout 76 launched in a near broken state. And that Bethesda was slow to fix it on all platforms.

    I have had no issue or bugs with this game. Although I miss the NPCs, they are coming with new content. I enjoyed this game with over 250+ hours of entertainment. This FEELS like Fallout and can be played solo, which I have done. I love the setting in West Virginia, the cryptids, and the holiday events.

    But it’s hard to feel as if you’re truly affecting the world when there are no NPCs to express satisfaction or disdain, or to be directly influenced by your actions. Even killing feels hollow. Some of my best battles in Fallout 4 came when I stumbled across an outpost and found there a raider in there; he’d yell and scream at me as we were facing off. The Scorched, while armed, feel like nothing more than zombies.

    The addition of multiplayer feels as though it comes at the expense of Fallout’s memorable story-driven moments. What good is a vast map full of players if they're given little to no purpose? When no other players are around, the game’s world feels almost empty. The attention-grabbing locales and landmarks add to Appalachia's charm, but it's difficult to not wish for living, breathing characters to inhabit it. Post-apocalyptic West Virginia is described as a wasteland, and this term paints an inadvertent but accurate picture of what Fallout 76 is right now.

    If you enjoy multiplayer games of this type and are willing to overlook the engine anomalies, you may find yourself rapidly addicted to the game's exploration density and loot systems. If you're easily frustrated by bugs and issues, you may want to sit tight a bit to see what Bethesda does to polish things up, cus oh boy, it could use a bit right now. If you're a fan of the single player, branching narrative the series is known for, you'll want to wait for Fallout 5.
