The year is 2102, 25 years after the nuclear war, Vault 76 which is located in West Virginia is having its “Reclamation Day”. This is the day that the vault opens and the residents are allowed to recolonize the Wasteland.

• The very first online multiplayer game from Bethesda. Play solo or with a party of up to three. Previous Fallout elements are modified to fit in a real-time game.
• The map is modeled after West Virginia with recreations of real-life locations.
• Mutated monsters are strewn about with several of them inspired by West Virginian folklore.
• All humans found in the game are other players. NPCs available are robots or holotapes that would have recordings for guests.

Reviews

If you are more of a single player gamer like me, don’t let the online nature of Fallout 76 put you off… it’s eminently playable as a single player experience.

Regardless of how Fallout 76 transforms and mutates in the months to come, the present version is a brave, imaginative, and rewarding exploration, but its true glory is revealed among friends.
