Fallout 76: Steel Reign isn't much to shout about by itself, but it offers a good overview of just how far the game has come since its disastrous launch.

Kingdom of Steel carries on the virtuous path of Fallout 76, introducing in a completely free new story content that closes the story of the Brotherhood of Steel in Appalachia (for now, at least) and dictating the roadmap for the future of the online survival RPG by Bethesda Game Studios. A greater refinement for the next updates is desirable, given the maturity of the product, but also worth mentioning the legendary creation (with which to generate legendary objects at 1, 2 and 3 stars) and the season 5 just inaugurated, which aim to exert an appeal on the highest ranking players.

As of the end of 2019 Fallout 76 is everything Fallout fan can expect from online Fallout experience. Plenty of walking, collecting scrap, and killing everything that still lives. Only thing is that now you can explore with other players, mostly friendly folk.

Fallout 76 is a disappointing game. The existence of the Fallout name on it and, of course, the relatively large propaganda it launched for Bethesda had many hoping for a well-designed multiplayer game, but the end product is now unplayable. What I'm sure about is that we are with a Publisher that faced this crisis a few years ago when it came to The Elder Scrolls Online and was able to contain it well. Nobody can recommend buying Fallout 76 at the moment, but maybe another year, the game will become the same fan-favorite for Fallout fans.

Although we were waiting half of the year after its release. All in all, a lot of bugs and lags, an empty sad and ugly-drawn world that likes to crash every moment, nothing new has been added besides the possibility of pulling its camp on its back. These are the main reasons why the new Fallout 76 will only take such a low score by us. It is also warning to everyone who would still consider buying it - don't do it.

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.

All in all, Fallout 76 did really feel like a chore to play. It could be fun if you have friends or are really into base building, but as a lone wolf that wants to play a game for its story, it’s personally not worth the hassle.

I really want to like the game, but it just makes so much of a mistake that it's almost taken off the market and needs to be completely reworked. A role-play game without interaction with NPCs is simply an unfinished game, because even the ability to go on adventures with several players can not hide it.

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

A vast game that invites players to explore it, preferably in company. Some design and technical problem are hard to ignore.

Fallout 76 is an underwhelming and disappointing mess, but may have the potential for greatness if Bethesda chooses to support it long-term.

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.

While Fallout 76 has some things it does right, it is too buggy and has much too low of a player base to truly enjoy. While it will scratch that Fallout itch, it's not worth it at its current price. Wait for a sale.

Fallout 76 feels like an atavistic reprisal of a late-2000s MMO.

There is no denying the game has a long way to go before it feels complete, though the world they have created here is a great point to work from.

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.

Aside from the new tweaks to levelling up and the chance to create a band of explorers from friends, the series has been diluted rather than enriched.

The few deep and very well written quests unfortunately get lost in the paper and terminal clutter. The loss of human NPCs is a bitter blow to the apocalypse. But the game world is filled with so much love, details and little stories that it would be quite ignorant not to visit the shooter RPG again. Maybe in a month or two, when the biggest bugs have been fixed and the first DLC has been released.

Love it or hate it, Fallout 76 is an experience with some interesting ideas that definitely don't work as well as you imagine. The bugs and the repetitive quests can be forgiven, but the empty Appalachian world makes us want to take the country roads and go back home.
