Best PS4 Games to Have on Your Radar in November 2018
Fallout 76
The Fallout games have been some of the biggest RPGs of the last generation, but things change up a bit for the newest entry, Fallout 76. Instead of a single-player RPG, Bethesda has gone for a shared-world multiplayer experience. Now with friends and other players, you can explore the post-apocalyptic scenery of West Virginia, a striking change in aesthetic for the series.
West Virginia is much brighter and more colorful than Washington D.C. or Boston, and a host of new mutated animals make their terrifying debut. Narratively, Fallout 76 is a prequel to the entire series taking place as humanity first makes their way out of Vault 76. The open world of Fallout 76 is four times larger than that of Fallout 4, and the base building mechanics make a return with quite a few improvements.
V.A.T.S. will still be in the game, although everything will play out in real time now. Other players take the place of NPCs in Fall0uot 76, with story mostly delivered through readable notes and audio logs. It may not be your typical Fallout game, but the heart of Fallout 76 still stays the same, whether it’s combat or story. You can expect there’ll be some pretty serious bugs, as is Bethesda tradition at this point, but a Fallout game that lets you play with friends sounds welcome indeed.
You can play Fallout 76 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on Nov. 14.
