Fallout 76 Reviews
While Fallout 76 has had a bit of a rough launch and certainly has some glaring issues, I have enjoyed my time with the game. There is the framework here for something really solid. Many of the game’s issues can be addressed and patched, with Bethesda already starting to do so. The core game underneath here is really fun so hopefully Bethesda keep working on it and continue to evolve what Fallout 76 is so that it can eventually become the online Fallout experience everyone wanted.
With some more time and more inspired gameplay design, it could have been a much better experience. Right now, unfortunately, its great world feels like a missed opportunity that's mostly not fun, only in very few scenarios and for very few people. Bethesda proved with The Elder Scrolls Online that it can turn things around but 76 may require some sweeping changes until it's ready to be recommended to others.
Different, confused but still a Fallout game in its essence. I really hope updates will help Fallout 76 to reach its potential one day.

Fallout 76 feels like an early access title and should have been labeled as such. The game was not ready for launch, and even hardcore Fallout fans will have a hard time ignoring its problems.
New Fallout is atypical game in series but online survival is not bad at all. Just full of bugs and technical issues.

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 I had to describe Fallout 76, I will say it is a flawed idea that never works well. It is simply broken and feels boring but offers a redeeming factor with the open world exploration in some well-crafted environments. The buggy nature of the game is its biggest hurdle and some quality of life changes will go a long way in molding it into something enjoyable in the future.
Fallout 76 is not the game that we expected from Bethesda and its high quality standards of its games (specially with the name of Fallout), but it does not mean that it's completely a bad game. Fallout 76's world is so beautiful with unique art style of Fallout games but on the other hand it's really bad in the story-telling and design. Gameplay is fun but also it isn't perfect. The point is, None of these is the main problem of the game. The main problem with Fallout 76 is that it lost its identity.The problem is that the game has not been able to maintain the boundary between a multiplayer game and a single player game, specially a Fallout. Fallout 76 does not disappoint fans of the series, but those who expected Bethesda to create an amazing game (like almost every Bethesda's games) with the label of Fallout, have to wait more.

The main problem with Fallout 76 is that it is built by a company who is specialized at creating solid single-player titles, and the result is countless bugs and technical issues. Maybe Bethesda is laying foundation and gaining experience for future MMO titles, or maybe they’ll improve it by releasing patches and stuff, but at its current state, Fallout 76 is a not a title worthy of Fallout name.

An interesting experiment that fails to nail either side of the experience, it uses Fallout trappings to good effect and can be fun with great environmental storytelling and West Virginia itself is gorgeous. The lack of NPCs and overall cohesion along with lacklustre PvP hinder its identity, however.
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.

.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

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.
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.

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 offers a bold new way to play the series -- which has some hits and misses.
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 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

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.

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