Fallout 76 is a disaster – neither a great Fallout game nor a great survival experience. When the game is working as intended, it shows glimmers of the Fallout series’ splendour, but those moments are few and far between.

Bethesda’s attempt at Fallout multiplayer is, like so many of the series’ vaults, a failed experiment.

November 20, 2018 |

When Fallout 76 is working as intended, it’s an easy game to lose yourself in, as meaningful discoveries are everywhere. But those moments are often destroyed by glitches, crashes, and technical issues.

“There’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.”
