Fallout 76

Fallout 76 is a live service take on the popular Bethesda RPGs, taking place in a post-nuclear, cryptid-infested Appalachia.

Why we like it
Fallout 76 got off to a notoriously rough start, but the game’s loyal community stuck with the core concept. Over the past few years, Bethesda has added more of the RPG elements that define the mainline Fallout games while still maintaining the spirit of playing a multiplayer sandbox with friends.
