I don’t have a lot of friends. I hope that you do. I used to; I had dozens of friends online to choose from when I wanted to play Halo 3 or Borderlands. But these days it’s hard for me to get a group of people together I’m comfortable with, so I don’t do multiplayer games much anymore. I’m also a Fallout fan. So imagine my trepidation when I learned there was a NEW FALLOUT GAME (YAY) that’s MULTIPLAYER ONLINE ONLY (Nooooooo).

After a three-hour demo and a two-day press event, I learned a lot. My biggest takeaway? At its worst, Fallout 76 is a single-player Bethesda experience. If you’re familiar with Fallout 3 or Fallout 4 , you’ll instantly feel at home in the character creator, and emerging into Vault 76 on Reclamation Day is full of that signature dystopian charm. And a new feature: musical instruments. You can play a guitar, piano, tuba, etc. and eventually earn bonuses that can provide different buffs. So right away you encounter a nice mix of the fresh and the familiar.
