Fallout 76 had a rough start to say the least. I never played at launch, but like No Mans Sky it's gone from a shaky start to one of my favorite games.

The big thing for me is how nice everyone is. Like this is a game where you can chuck nukes at each other yet I have only had one negative interation with someone. Even then, it was funny in retrospect. (In short, me and my pal Shadow made a bigot rage quit the game by having LGBTQA+ flag icons and spamming the heart emote.)

There is a premium currency in the form of Atoms. And it wants your money with cool items and convenience features like the scrapbox hidden behind the prenium subscription. But I can't say I have ever regretted a purchase.

Tips

Tips to play Fallout 76.

  • Start at LV1 when leaving the vault if this is your first Fallout game.
  • Don't feel shy about taking things from donation boxes as a new player, just pay it forward and donate when you can.
  • Try being a ghoul! You may enjoy it.

Summary

Overall this is a good game if you are a fallout fan and like MMOs. The community is freindly and although the game isn't perfect it's fun enough to make up for it.
