plundering the irradiated wasteland of Fallout 76,

who this mutated take on Fallout is intended for.

Like many of Vault-Tec's underground bunkers,

Bethesda's multiplayer riff on its post-nuclear RPG series

There are bright spots entangled in this mass

of frustratingly buggy and sometimes conflicting systems,

but what fun I was able to salvage from the expansive

was consistently overshadowed by the monotony

On the surface, Fallout 76 is another dose

of Bethesda's tried and true open-world RPG formula,

except that aside from some gorgeous lighting,

it somehow looks noticeably flatter than Fallout 4 did

When you look closer, the ambitious idea to replace

results in a lack of meaningful interaction.

Other than the 20 something other players spread thinly

over a massive map, just about the only voices you'll hear

are recordings of long-dead quest-givers, robots,

and AI constructs who simply deliver information at you.

Even the so-called main story quest boiled down to

With the exception of some goofy and creative tasks,

And though later missions mask the shallowness

Wandering the diverse wasteland of Appalachia

does reveal one of Bethesda's great strengths,

Discovering a goofy teddy bear playing pots-and-pans drums,

an evocatively posed skeleton, or a half-sunken church

all instill the sense that enticing secrets are hiding

On paper, a multiplayer game in the dog-eat-dog-meat world

of Fallout sounds like a thrill, but in Fallout 76,

you're almost prohibited from engaging in anything

resembling player-versus-player aggression.

Because you can't do any significant damage

until both people have attacked one another,

It's the most kid-gloves version of competitive multiplayer

or even just pick the lock on their camp,

Instead, Fallout 76 is more of a cooperative PVE game,

The mechanical benefit of grouping brings the ability

share a subset of cards in the flexible new perk system,

But what I appreciated the most is the companionship

Mechanically, Fallout 76's combat falls somewhere between

because hitting anything up-close in third person

With only a watered-down realtime version

of Fallout's signature VATS auto-targeting system available,

I found it nearly useless except in specific situations,

but every little bit helps against the inventive

The recognizable insects, ghouls, robots, super mutants,

and not-so-super mutant animals are all here,

and downright bizarre creatures that reside in the fringes

of West Virginia's disdained and atmospheric biomes.

means most of these monsters can be killed

The brightest spot here is your portable camp,

However, there's little need to fortify it

other than to lure enemies to their deaths.

And like just about everything else in Fallout 76,

this system suffers from a number of bugs

When you're not running quests, you're scrounging,

scrapping items for materials, and crafting.
