Zero Punctuation season 12 episode 47 takes a deep dive into the highly-anticipated post-apocalyptic game Fallout 76. Host Yahtzee begins the episode with a humorous rundown of the game's backstory and setting, set in a nuclear-ravaged America where players can wander the wasteland, team up with other survivors, and rebuild society.
However, Yahtzee quickly launches into his signature fast-paced and no-holds-barred critique of the game, diving into its gameplay mechanics and technical issues. He notes the game's lack of a single-player campaign, its insistence on multiplayer, and the frustratingly limited inventory system. Yahtzee also critiques the game's buggy and slow-loading servers, which he deems unacceptable for a modern game.
Despite these flaws, Yahtzee acknowledges the game's unique charm and appeal to die-hard Fallout fans. He praises the game's rich world-building and lore, as well as its attention to detail in terms of creating a realistic post-apocalyptic environment. He also notes the game's potential for creative player interaction and cooperation, such as teaming up to rebuild entire settlements.
Overall, Yahtzee's review of Fallout 76 is a mixed bag, with praise for certain elements of the game, but heavy criticism for its technical flaws and lack of a single-player campaign. He ultimately leaves it up to viewers to decide if the game is worth their time and money.
