    Bit of a shame that folk are jumping on a hate driven bandwagon, since the game is a lot of fun. The Roanoke-style mystery at the core of the game is interesting, the base building from FO4 has a lot more context now people can visit them and the different areas all have their own interesting stuff going on.
    Thankfully fans don't seem to need a metacritic score to validate their enjoyment.

    Now for the people that put 0... buy the game and play it before submitting a review. People want the truth about the game not some story from someone who has never played.

    I also blame Meta for allowing users to submit the review without reviewing the review first.    … Expand

    Simply the best Fallout game period. Graphics are amazing, story is captivating and environment spellbinding. Installer works flawlwessly, download is easy. Its like WoW but in Fallout universe. As a diehard fan this is what I have been waiting for.

    Now please make this mobile as well!

    Personally the game for me is a seven in its current state, it has an amazing open world and quite interesting lore. The games bugs have been mostly fixed and its story is actually not bad, makes me wish that they game had NPCs (at launch) so we could have actually seen the events transpire.

    The game provides quite a great experience whether it be solo or multiplayer. The other players are very nice, and very generous with helping others.

    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.

    This is genuinely my favorite fallout game in some time. It's different, but in a good way. There's still lots to discover, lots to build, lots to learn and find, lots to shoot. Only real drawback is the 400 lb stash limit, which even that is workable if you can shelve your inner hoarder and sell off some that junk you don't REALLY need to save for later.

If you like crafting, if you like survival, if you like adventure, if you like strategically hauling loot to your base or a shop, if you don't mind the idea of encountering evidence that other human beings exist in a geographic area the size of state...I'd recommend this game.… Expand

    This game is a lot of fun. It keeps the same atmosphere as the other fallout games and has a wide arrangment of new and eerie places to explore.

It keeps the same atmosphere as the other fallout games and has a wide arrangment of new and eerie places to explore. I've met people online to play with, that I now play with regularly, and that's actually really nice. After all, one of Fallout 76's biggest boasts to date has been the concept of "doing it together" - the idea of having the game bring players together in a group to explore: which, for me, it certainly has done.

    To be honest, if you're reading this with the actual hope of getting a fair opinion on the game, I'm not sure why so many people are upset with it at its launch (which is when I'm writing this). It's not a perfect game but it definitely doesn't deserve to be bombarded with 0s by folks who haven't, and who refuse to, play the game for themselves - which is why I'm giving it a 10. Why is it that a game made to bring players together, with seemingly good intentions, possesses so many people to act so negatively? As though to try and tear the community down before it even has a chance to walk.

    I understand people wish it were a single player game and I'm pretty sure Bethesda has said that they'll continue to make single player games after Fallout 76. This game tries something different which, respectfully, is quite a brave thing to do.

    Now, if you can't get by the idea of something which takes the road less traveled by then so be it; this game isn't for you and that's okay - but if you're welcome to new ideas and like the prospect of joining a community of players who are as well then Fallout 76 offers a unique opportunity: to emerge form the vault together.

    Hope to see you in the wasteland!    … Expand

    What I really enjoy about the game (I've played 76 since the pre-BETA stress Test)

    --Microtransactions - the ability to trade and barter with other Vault Dwellers adds a fun twist to the game, no more depending on just NPC merchants (which 76 does have)
    --The vastness of Applachia - promises hours of game time with no repeat encounters
    --Being able to join up with fellow Vault Dwellers to creat actual Fallout communities
    --Crafting - being able to make literally anything and everything myself. You do need plans and blueprints
    --Blueprinting - Once you build your palace/castle you can blueprint it so if you move your CAMP it can be rebuilt with ease.
    --Moveable CAMP - A portable workstation to enables the Vault Dweller to have immediate access to literally any workstation or Basecamp feature on the go. You do need to pay caps to move once it's been built once.    … Expand

    Fallout 76 is the best (and most addictive) game I've played in the last 5 years (and my current gamerscore is at 128000, so I've played a few other games in those years). It takes most things I've loved about the Fallout franchise and gives the player a new and interesting part of the wasteland to explore, which by the way is four times as large as the environment of Fallout4.

    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.
