The term, much like reboot and re-imagining, has a muddied meaning. It can suggest you’re playing a newer – hopefully better – version of a game you’ve already played, or a completely overhauled take that’s nearly unrecognizable from its source material.
Upon emerging from Fallout 76’s eponymous vault, players are treated to one of the prettiest apocalyptic landscapes to ever appear in the series.

Escalation raises the bar on the now-requisite survival mode, and competitive matches—complemented by a strong character progression and customization system—do a fine job supplementing tried-and-true online melees with Transfomers-specifc gameplay and...
