Bethesda's Fallout MMO is worth taking for a spin
subscribers can claim a month of Fallout 1st – a premium membership scheme for Fallout 76 – while mobile spin-off Fallout Shelter will receive its first update in over four years, adding a new questline, enemies, and weapons.Fallout 76 had a dicey launch when it hit shelves back in 2018. Players and critics were unimpressed with its shallow open world and repetitive gameplay loop, as well as a slew of performance issues.
It’s improved drastically in the years since. Substantial updates and patches have added more questlines and characters. Bethesda has also expanded the game's worldbuilding, as well as ironed out its bugs. Fallout 76 is one of the easier massively multiplayer FPS games to dip into given its gradual learning curve, and is supported by a remarkably friendly community.
Don’t be expecting the classic Fallout RPG experience, though. Fallout 76 is more like a survival MMO that's heavy on exploration and base building. Think of it as an excellent open-world post-apocalyptic multiplayer RPG, but not a standout entry in the Fallout series. It's worth trying if you're a fan of the survival genre, or are a big Fallout lore buff that wants to soak up even more Nuka-Cola-flavored worldbuilding.
