Fallout 76 wasn't very good at launch. It was prone to griefers, bereft of life, clunky, and buggy as all hell - worse than Cyberpunk, and it's not even close. Many of those issues remain: crashes are common, bugs still abound, and the UI is more nightmarish than any Scorched you'll come across in post-apocalyptic Appalachia. But they're less severe than they were, and no longer laid bare in an empty world where players have little to do other than harass each other.
The last three years have had their ups and downs, but a few key updates - Wastelanders, Steel Dawn, The Legendary Run, and One Wasteland For All - have made Fallout 76's world a drastically different one than players entered back in 2018. There are NPCs now, and proper quest lines with branching dialogue that make it feel more like a Fallout game. It's a better MMO, too, with more daily quests, endgame gear, and roleplay options. So, what if Fallout 76 came out right now?
Well, to start with, it's pretty unlikely that Fallout 76 would be sitting on a Metacritic score of just over 50%. Judging from the handful of scored and unscored reviews that cropped up following the release of Wastelanders, we'd probably be looking at a score a little higher than 60%, maybe even higher given recent updates like Worlds and Locked & Loaded.
