Critic reviews
- IGN.com7.0In 2024, Fallout 76 finally captures a lot of the post-nuclear experience I love. It trades roleplaying decision-making for multiplayer shooter antics, but it still needs more endgame content and a fair inventory solution.
- Push Square3.0Every online aspect of the release is half-baked and poorly implemented, but even as a single player experience, Fallout 76 would fall flat thanks to its archaic design and astoundingly poor world building.
- Game Skinny7.0I think this is an enjoyable Fallout experience, but one very tailored to playing with others. It is a decent enough game to play solo, but I don't think many people will enjoy it if they never play multiplayer.
- ZTGD4.0Maybe they can turn this game around. Maybe they can fix the bugs, add some actual life into the world, and make it to where playing with friends is more than just a co-op buddy. They did a lot for Elder Scrolls Online, maybe they can do it here, but I’ll be the first to tell you to wait until that happens before taking these country roads home.
- Destructoid4.0There's no sugarcoating it: Fallout 76 comes up short at nearly everything it aims to be. It's not a good role-playing game and it's not a good multiplayer experience. It never really feeds into the gradual RPG power fantasy but it's also inadequate as a survival simulator. In wanting to be so much, Fallout 76 doesn't amount to much at all.
Gamer reviews
Improved
This game has greatly improved, and people should truly start coming back to it. Sure, some might take us back to the release. Which was a complete mess. However, after many updates, patches, and more game play. I think that this game is finally worth jumping back into. Lets also not forget the new steel reign update which was a huge lead in the right direction for the game. We can't forget the wastelanders update and the inventory update. To conclude my review, I think people should jump back into this game and give it just one more chance. Ad Victoriam!!
played 360 hours, enjoyable game. i bored.
