It's a good game for what it is, a humorous little shark game with some over-the-top things. Gets repetitive kind of fast, but it's not a very long game so it's not a big deal

However, I managed to 100% the game in around 10 hours, and without sales the game is, what, 34€? That is INSANE, even if Chris Parnell is narrating my life like a reality TV show that pricetag is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid

I hate PVP games so much, usually all they manage to pull off is make me mad, but somehow, against all odds, DBD is actually really fun for me. I was really afraid when I got into it because people kept telling me that the community can be very toxic, and is full of people who have played the game for years and will just steamroll every match, but I have actually had mostly positive experiences with the community, and while I get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up pretty often, it's nowhere nearly as often as I was expecting

Would definitely recommend people to try it out if it looks interesting, might surprise you, like it did me. Just be prepared to spend much more money if you do end up liking it

I don't know who the dealer is, but I think he should start getting suspicious of me pulling a Flush Five-of-a-Kind of Aces of Spades

One of the best games I've played in a while, with neat and good artstyle, and genius game design

But I don't recommend taking gameplan ideas from any real life rockstars, look I love Kurt Cobain too but he was NOT good at this game

♥♥♥♥ you David
It's a really good game
8/10

Genuinely and truly one of the best games I've ever played. Putting it right up there with Noita into the few actual indie masterpieces. None of the weapons feel too weak to be used, and all the classes have fun and varied builds to make. I only have some minor complaints but there are well enough good things to make up for them. Solid 10

The most mixed bag of a game I've ever played, I love a lot of things in it and I hate a lot of things in it.
I'd say it has some of the best mechanics in Fallout, with the real-time VATS being my favorite version of it, and one that i actually use unlike the time-stop or god forbid the time-slow one that was in FO4. Melee feels much better than the earlier games too, the skill system is alright, while i prefer the classic style from Fallout 1 to New Vegas, with the funny little cards you can upgrade and equip according to your SPECIAL stats.

Building a camp is much more fun and useful than in Fallout 4 as well, with you being actually able to set it almost anywhere, and sell off your stuff to other players, and of course being able to check out other player's camps and stores which is something i do a lot myself. However, building itself was not polished much between Fallout 4 and 76, the snap-on still being pathetic as all hell, and while i understand why this time around, with other players having to be considered too, the building limits are pretty lame. I personally always want to put my favorite guns on displays in FO4 and this, but i can only build just a few displays for guns.

The Legendary enemy and loot system is incredibly much better, the loot being still gained from occasionally spawning legendary enemies, but this time they're just simply beefed up enemies instead of a stupid moron who regens all their health halfway through, which i HATED in Fallout 4. They can be tiered one, two or three stars, and will drop loot accordingly, which will have one, two or three legendary modifiers of appropriate tiers. And while most of them are garbage, this time you can recycle them, by selling them off for Legendary Scrip, which you can use at a particular little moleman to buy either new legendaries, as a type of reroll, or you can buy Legendary Modules, which can be combined with Legendary Cores gotten from events to turn your favorite gun into a whole new Legendary by itself. This is a mechanic I've always wished existed in Fallout, turning your simple favorite gun you've grown attached to, into a legendary or Unique as they used to be called. However don't expect it to become amazing, there are still lots of garbage modifiers it can get, but you can keep rerolling them as many times as long as you got cores and modules if you wish.

And, my FAVORITE part of the whole game, there are so many amazing new cryptids
In real life, the Appalachian region has a ton of folklore and cryptids in the mountains and woods. I originally started playing the game just to hunt cryptids. Mothman, Flatwoods Monster, Wendigo which is popular these days (Shoutout to Wendigoon), to lesser known ones like Grafton Monster, Blue Devil, Snallygaster, I love cryptids and I love seeing them all being depicted in pretty faithful manners too. As absolutely awesome as the cervid skull wendigo is, the Fallout 76 depiction is more faithful to the original Algonquin depiction and I can respect that

While there's more good I could talk about, I'll switch over to the Bad Parts which should definitely be considered because they're absolute ♥♥♥♥

The scrap limit your camp has is very definitely designed just to make you buy a Fallout 1st subscription. It's scummy, and they must know it's scummy because it's a very deliberate design choice. It's total garbage and discourages switching builds

The balance is all over the place frankly, with some builds working almost always if you just got the right perks, like most heavy weapons and Two Handed Melee, but some things you'll really have to get into the minmaxing stuff and rolling good legendaries to get to work properly, like basic rifles, unarmed, or Explosives. I was really disappointed with Unarmed especially, since I love punching stuff in games if at all possible. But here it almost feels like a challenge build, like it's so bad that you'd have to prove it works with some tricks or with good luck. Maybe I'm just bad at making a build, but there is only one perk to increase unarmed weapon damage, while other weapon classes have up to three, maybe more with cross-effectiveness. But then, while, for example, missile launcher works off both heavy weapons and explosives, it's still very weak, and the ammo isn't very common and also weighs a ton. Feels like you're encouraged into specializing in it, but then you don't have enough ammo to specialize in it. The balance is very all over the place

In a typical Bethesda fashion, it's also very buggy. Just before writing this message, I had joined an Expeditino, essentially a co-op dungeon raid, but i got stuck in an endless loading screen. When the host left the area into a new one, I got loaded in, but I couldn't see anyone, or open any doors. But I kept taking damage from enemies I couldn't see.
The lag is often also very annoying, teleporting me back to where I jumped off a cliff to take a shortcut, or making me miss hits I clearly landed, to things like randomly staggering and enemies healing because they think i'm not in combat with them

All In All
I think it's a *good* game. It's definitely miles better than Fallout 4. But there are so many bad sides to it that I wouldn't give it a very shining score. It's the embodiment of Mixed. If you can get it very cheap from somewhere and you think it looks or sounds interesting, I'm sure you can get your mileage out of it. I got it for free from a friend who got a code from Humble Bundle, so I definitely got my money's worth
6/10

Fallout 1st is such a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scam though, ♥♥♥♥ that

I'm doing my part, for liberty, using democracy
Vote No To Sony

Got it from a sale for like 2€, and for that it was worth it. It's relax and cute. Most of the minigames are pretty tedious and slow, and there's a lot of just flying towards the hive for some periods of time, but it was strangely chill and comfy to just fly about collecting pollen

HOWEVER, I'd like to give out a big arachnofobia warning for everyone. That's a common thing these days and there are definitely some spiders in this game. You won't miss out too much if you have to pass this game for that, so don't worry

For the pricetag, I enjoyed stinging children and making them cry, but the game might not be for everyone

A very solid short and cheap atmospheric game. I reckon it would divide opinions strongly, but personally this is exactly the kinda ♥♥♥♥ I am into. Just a chill stroll in the snow with your dogs and a fren with an eerie narrative going on
