Fallout 76, the game that is getting a lot of grief from a lot of people.  It is a good game, but it is also a very different game than other Fallout games.  76 is more about survival and team play, as this is the first online Fallout wouldn't it be obvious that you should play with others?  The survival aspect can turn people off, you must constantly gather food and water, as well as Radaway so that you are in prime fighting condition, aside from weapons, armor, ammo, etc. that everyone is already used to.  Gathering more stuff just to be optimal of course can be less fun than just roaming around and killing and it is something that you must get used to.

The base building is fun, but it could stand a lot of tweaking to make it really fun. I currently have a three story base with the basic amenities one would want in their base, armor/weapons crafting and such.  There is PVP but it seems rather pointless to even do so it also seems pointless to even have in the game.

I give this game 6.5/10 arbitrary points.  It is newly out and has a lot of room for improvements so look for this to be a rising star in the future with patches/expansion type stuff.

*edit* Old post from original version of my site - Game has been out for quite some time now, things have definitely changed since this was originally written.
