Fallout 76 is an online action role-playing game that is part of the Fallout series. This is the first multiplayer game from Bethesda and lets players explore an open world that has been torn apart by nuclear war with other players. The game was launched to mixed reviews. Much of the criticism were focused on the many technical issues, the overall design, lack of gameplay purpose, and even initial absence of human non-playable characters.
