Fallout 76

Critics Consensus (Skip It)

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.

Game Info

Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of Skyrim and Fallout 4, welcome you to Fallout 76, the online prequel where every surviving human is a real person. Work together – or not – to survive. Under the threat of nuclear annihilation, you’ll experience the largest, most dynamic world ever created in the legendary Fallout universe.

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

6/10

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.

Brett Makedonski (Destructoid)

4/10

“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.”
