Fallout 76 is a game built on a very appealing idea, but executed in a clearly uneven way. From a technical standpoint, the optimization is simply bad. On a mid-range PC, the game runs on low–medium settings at an average of 40–50 FPS, with frequent drops that can go as low as 20 FPS, seriously affecting the overall experience. On top of that, there are numerous bugs and crashes that are still present and constantly break immersion.

The mission design doesn’t help much either. Many missions feel boring and uninspired, and what’s most disappointing is that they don’t seem to be designed with cooperative play in mind. This is especially frustrating in an online Fallout, as it greatly limits the fun of playing with friends and undermines the whole multiplayer concept.

Another major downside is the amount of paid content. The game heavily relies on microtransactions, some of which clearly lean into pay-to-win mechanics, unbalancing the experience and creating the constant feeling that you’re playing at half capacity unless you pay extra.

Despite all these flaws, Fallout 76 still has something that hooks you. The core concept of an online Fallout that you can explore with friends is very strong, and that idea alone is probably what makes the game so addictive despite its many shortcomings. For that same reason, it feels like the game could become much better if these issues were properly addressed.

I hesitated a lot about whether to recommend it or not, but in the end I decided to do so. Despite everything, it’s a game that manages to keep you playing for hours.

Score: 7/10

Additional note for Linux users: if the game fails to launch, it’s recommended to run it using Proton-GE, as it usually fixes startup issues.

Lisa: The Painful is one of those games that doesn’t show up just to entertain you without consequences. It shows up to make you feel bad. And it succeeds. Not in a cheap or gratuitous way, but by forcing you to carry Brad’s constant pain on your back until you can almost feel it physically. You don’t watch him suffer, you suffer with him.

The game nails a very rare and finely tuned mix of dark humor and a brutal story, tackling serious themes without trivializing them or turning them into edgy posturing. Every uncomfortable decision matters, and most of the time there is no “good” option, only different ways to make things worse. And that hurts, which is exactly the point.

On top of that, it’s absurdly replayable: secrets everywhere, easter eggs that change how you understand the world, alternative routes, and multiple endings that force you to rethink what you did before. This isn’t an RPG you finish and forget. It sticks with you, for better or worse.

It’s also solid on a technical level: it runs perfectly on Linux, no drama, no excuses, as it should.

An uncomfortable, cruel, and brilliant masterpiece.
10/10.
