Fallout 76 - 💩💩💩

I don't think "worst game of the year" is overblown. In fact, I'm more disheartened by this shitshow potentially tanking the IP and the world can possibly be denied another actual, good Fallout game because of the parade of mistakes and missteps taken here only teling Bethesda that they need to take a step back instead of looking at why they need to take that step back and course correct in the future. And for what? To sell some extra Vault Boy swag in their percieved perpetual money-making machine? I feel like Seph: maybe after all that content, and tweaking the game for the better, I might give it a proper go... because I still hate that I am not excited about/really enjoy something that is Fallout. A game that makes me nostalgic for Brotherhood of Steel is clearly doing something wrong.

I think you're underestimating the amount of trash that comes out every year. Stuff you probably didn't even hear about. I think "worst game of the year" should be reserved for actually that. Games that few people could derive fun out of.

I think most of these worst games lists have gotten into the habit of confusing "worst game" with "most disappointing game". Fallout 76 is certainly a favorite for the latter, but I wouldn't consider it for worst.
