Fallout 76 is Bethesda’s attempt to turn the sprawling post-apocalyptic wasteland into a social, multiplayer experience. It’s an online-only game that takes place in the ruins of West Virginia, not long after a nuclear war laid waste to America. Because of the game’s massive size and constantly changing nature, we decided to run a series of journal entries in place of a more traditional review. Hopefully this gives you a better idea of what it’s like to try to survive the latest Fallout.

Read Article >My first few days in the wasteland have been all about following orders. I’ve listened to everybody: the missing Vault 76 overseer, all kinds of malfunctioning robots, and a whole bunch of people who turned out to be dead.
