Fallout 76: Steel Reign isn’t much to shout about by itself, but it offers a good overview of just how far the game has come since its disastrous launch.

The first Fallout title to add multiplayer, Fallout 76 is a novel experiment with mixed results.

Fallout 76 looks and feels like a Fallout game, but its dead world, boring quests, and constant stream of performance issues make this multiplayer outing radioactive.

In an effort to do everything, Fallout 76 fails to do any of it well enough to form an identity. Its multiplayer mindset robs its quests of all the moral decisionmaking that makes the series great, and all that’s left is a buggy mess of systemic designs that never seems to work together and regularly contradicts itself. It all culminates in an aggravating endgame that’s more busywork than satisfying heroics. Bethesda missed the mark with Fallout 76, in part because it seems like it could never decide what it was aiming for.
