Fallout 76 Reviews
Despite Appalachia's appeal, Fallout 76 is broken mess of a game that, in its current state, feels nothing more than a shamefully unfinished cash-grab that isn't fit to use the Fallout name.
Bethesda claims that the Fallout 76 servers will last “forever” and, while it may not take that long to patch bugs and improve the experience, my foray with the launch version has left me with an abundance of bullet points that need attention. My biggest hope is that Bethesda will take our suggestions and criticisms as a call to action to tweak the faulty mechanics and build more features into a game that has a ton of potential.
Exploring is still the most interesting part in Fallout 76, but your adventure tour is limited by empty open-world, and outdated graphics performance. It is more like a MMO mod of Fallout 4, rather than a brand-new work.

Fallout 76 offers a bold new way to play the series -- which has some hits and misses.
I really hope Fallout 76 is turned around, I really do. I have a lot of respect for Bethesda for publishing quality single player releases such as The Evil Within 2, but Fallout 76 is just dire. It shouldn’t have seen the light of day, and you shouldn’t buy it
If you have a fondness for West Virginia, love the Fallout theming, and can put up with a lot of frustrating bugs and design choices then Fallout 76 can provide lots of hours of Wasteland-stomping fun. Everyone else should probably wait for improvements.
All in all, Fallout 76 comes off as the core gameplay experience you’d find in Fallout 4, only with multiplayer sort of tacked on somehow. There’s no real overarching story and no NPCs to really speak of, and yet there’s a giant map to explore and collect things while just getting stronger. It’s the modern Bethesda Fallout experience, distilled to that core gameplay loop.
Hopefully, Bethesda reboots Fallout 76 like it did with The Elder Scrolls Online. Right now though, the game is hard to recommend to anyone but the most faithful of Fallout fans.
Fallout 76 is a deep, huge game with a lot to do and many missions to complete. It’s not in any way perfect but there is certainly fun to be had
In short, if you like the Fallout universe and know how our Bethesda Softworks friends spend it, don't miss the opportunity, as you can enjoy an authentic post-apocalyptic experience alone or in company.

I can't really recommend playing Fallout 76 to anyone for any reasons. The latest work of Bethesda Game Studios is just a disaster.

Fallout 76 is a story about ruining a 20 year old franchise, story about wandering in a world that literally offers nothing enjoyable. Still, if you're a fan of fallout series, you might enjoy the atmosphere of this apocalyptic game and it's world, but in general Fallout 76 is no where near a great Fallout game.

Fallout 76 is an ambitious game but it doesn't have many of the fundamental necessities of an online RPG game. it benefits from a vast and varied open world but the technical problems and incompatibility of some elements don't let us see the full potential. however, none of these problems are Unresolvable and we can hope for the future of Fallout 76. Finally, thanks to its friendly and healthy community and of course the freeness of its construction elements, anyone can have fun and entertaining moments in this huge wasteland

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.
This is what makes Fallout 76 painful: many worthwhile moments surrounded by a game with just as many nagging issues. The bare-bones plot and general lack of direction mean you must make your own fun. It's set in a largely static world that doesn't care about the choices you make, and the few times when you can impact the world may be lost to you or circumvented by others with a mere server hop. There's fun to be had if you enjoy the thought of poking around a Fallout wasteland with a friend. Otherwise, very little here feels new, and it feels like a lot of content is missing in comparison to previous games in the series.
Fallout 76 had everything to be a great RPG online game. There is a wide range of items, weapons and equipments to be acquired along with a map with a vast area to be explored. However, the feeling we have is that the players received an unfinished game. The large number of technical problems throughout the game not only make the experience complicated, but can also make the players ditch it. About Fallout 76, the best choice to be made is to not leave the Vault.

Fallout 76 retains the same captivating immersion, atmosphere and organic exploration that made Fallout 4 so enjoyable thanks to an excellent open world, though you'll have to contend with a poorly implemented online component and the typical Bethesda technical hiccups and rough edges.
.I did not think that one day an important release of the Fallout series would be disappointing like this one, I hope it's a very important lesson for the future of the Fallout series , and for the future of the video games titles they're working on right now

Probably the most pointless videogame of this generation. Not a survival sim, not a role-playing game, not a Fallout game. Just a steaming pile of ideas that doesn't even work properly. Maybe it will be reworked later like No Man's Sky, but since it's already heavily discounted everywhere, it doesn't seem like Bethesda cares about it that much.
