“Originally I was very hesitant because I've always enjoyed a single player experience. All it takes to enjoy Fallout76 is being slightly open minded to very basic interaction with other players (you may occasionally…”

“This review doesn't touch on any gameplay and only revolves around the holding company. I VERY much enjoy the player community, but, the management of this game has been and continues to be a joke. If you are very…”
“Worst, most boring purchase I have EVER made. Literally just multiplayer Fallout 4 without any story. And it has the same "treat this game as your job" system where you repeat quests to get a higher number that is a…”

“2k+ hours and I'm hanging it up. Hardly any new content. Same events over and over for 2 straight weeks. Overpriced Atom Shop items. Same bugs for years. Blue Ridge was a waste and is gone. Skyline Valley is a bust and…”

“Posle 2715 sati mogu da kažem da nisam zadovoljan igrom. Bez obzira na to što sam ovde upoznao dobre ljude, igra je loša: loša optimizacija, puna čitera, gde se jasno vidi da Bethesda ne brine o svojim korisnicima. Da…”

“I like all the Fallout games except this one. It runs poorly, it looks bad, and the multiplayer part is also not a game changer. In my eyes, the worst of all Fallout games. Not recommended.”
“One of the most horribly made games. 0 optimization and millions of bugs that softlock your game”

“Fallout 76 is a mix of highs & lows, but played under the right circumstances it can be quite entertaining. It's got plenty going for it as of recent updates. Endgame loop has gotten much more engaging, with meta builds, bosses, & public events. Camp building is awesome, fishing…”

— a player, Steam review · 133 hrs played“Really tried to like it as a Fallout fan but there are just too many frustrating aspects. A live-service game with so many bugs, glitches and network issues years after release yet filled with microtransactions is simply not a good game or a good service. Get this on sale if you…”
