★☆☆☆☆ Launch
★★☆☆☆ Wastelanders (If you play it singleplayer and pay2win)
The excess amount of toilet paper in this Coronavirus Simulator is really breaking my immersion, 0/10.

- You've burned every bridge in FO4?
- Everyone wants coop Fallout, but this isn't it.

- Disgusting business model
- Everything is buggy. Everything.
- Everything is level gated stat creep
- Hunger, thirst, expiration, durability, encumbrance, and other anti-fun game ruining nags.
- Having a max storage weight basically forces you to stop playing, unless you pay2win (monthly) for infinite storage.
- Multiplayer sucks. Coop is punishing. Core singleplayer features (VATS, Pipboys, Quests) weren't transitioned worth a crap. Decor isn't instanced, quests aren't shared, and enemies spawn based on nearby player level, so other players can (un/intentionally) ruin the game for you.

+ Explore other players houses
+ Fitting music, both radio and ambient
+ Freely change your appearance at any time

+- Public events, on timers
+- PUBG mode (needs its own review)
+- Costumes override armor for vanity
+- Collectron & Nuka Doors, tainted by pay2win
+- Personal screenshots replace loading screens
+- Challenges (mini-achievements) for everything
+- Many map locations, with nothing worth exploring
+- Artistically, graphics are pretty, colorful retrofuturism, but lacking technically
+- Container loot is instanced, decor loot is not - which is utterly game breaking
+- PVP basically doesn't exist, but when it does, its the worst PVP in any game ever
+- New dialogue system is back to the FO3/NV style, but rarely have satisfying solutions

- No text chat
- No local map
- No companions
- New VATS is rubbish
- Melee doesn't cleave
- Fast travel costs caps
- Can't drag decor items
- Level gated everything
- No inventory text search
- No QuickSave/QuickLoad
- Mousewheel for hotkeys?
- House object & size limits
- Empty tutorial is no GOAT
- Forced to work for raiders
- "MMO" is false advertising
- Server hop to farm rare loot
- 30% off a week after release
- Pointless multiplayer, ghosts
- Ammo is less than worthless
- Exp bar not always on screen
- Loaded with microtransactions
- Bundles don't include everything
- Can only join team leader interiors
- Audio logs cut short by other audio
- Can't loot everything from everyone
- Power armor negates regular armor
- Something wrong with shadow quality
- Can't tell enemy level of map locations
- Bounties for lock-picking player houses
- Runs at half FPS if not in fullscreen mode
- Can't pause, even when locked in a menu
- Level gating made worse by slow leveling
- Hotkeys unhotkey when the item runs out
- Tabs in the Atom shop aren't actually tabs
- Menus don't respond properly to mouseover
- Doesn't properly save your location on logout
- Leveling system is painfully unrewarding RNG
- Repair cost is the same if 99% or 1% damaged
- Stamina, carry weight, stash weight, hunger, thirst
- Have to restart the game to update graphic settings
- Weapon durability, that can only be repaired at benches
- Building a base is even more pointless than it was in FO4
- Ridiculous respawn systems, on players and NPCs and loot
- Nothing unique or meaningful, endgame is lootbox farming
- Little-to-no quest fanfare, and even less impact on the world
- Menus are clearly designed for controller, not keyboard/mouse
- Bolt action weapons trigger a nonsensical everything-locked state
- Shows account name, instead of character name, why even have it then?
- Any Atoms you earned in the Bethesda edition won't be available on Steam
- FO4's collectibles were amazing, unique and meaningful, FO76's are rubbish
- World doesn't seem post-fallout, its not nuked, everyone died to some plague
- 3rd person camera STILL isn't viable. How hard is it to just center the camera??
- None of the issues from FO4 have been fixed, 10billion new ones have been added
- Wastelander's new Ally system isn't companions. Basically just human house decorations
- Faceroll Power Armor is the only viable build, but that isn't viable either, because batteries
- It costs less to craft entirely new armor, than to repair, not just less, but different/less-rare mats
- Now that there's a dialogue system, having Charisma dedicated entirely to party buffs is nonsense
- This story is Bethesda trying to explain away why their business model is a complete scam. "Gold is good!"
- This version of settlements is an utterly ridiculous waste of time, that you lose ownership of every time you leave for 5 seconds
- Levels scale based on nearby players, so other players can break the game for you, and you can't play with different level friends
- Hotkeys are set backwards, instead of picking an item > slot, you pick a slot then have to look through your entire inventory for the item
- New perk system is garbage. Level gated. Stat creep. RNG Card Packs. Duplicate effects. Limited by SPECIAL. Hard level cap. Utility cards waste space. Basically no respec
- Can basically only track 1 quest/objective at a time, the more you add, the worse it gets, as it spams your compass and quest list off the screen. Color code them, or something, at least. And show distance
- Inventory management is still nonsense. Instead of simply stripping all mods from a weapon when you put it into storage, at least optionally, you instead have 30,000 different versions of the same weapon, spamming an unsearchable list to infinity
- You can't loot everything from everyone. Instead, loot is RNG'd, and level based. That overtuned raider that just attacked you with a plasma gattling gun will instead drop a pipe pistol, and if you come back when you're level 30 he'll instead drop an assault rifle
