What players say

73% of 84,449 reviews are positive · 62% of 513 in the last 30 days

Players praise the amount of content, exploration, base building, public events, and co-op with friends. The dominant complaint is restrictive storage and inventory management, which many players say pushes the paid Fallout 1st subscription; longtime players also criticize repetitive endgame grinding and aggressive monetization.
