While its disastrous launch is legendary, I believe Fallout 76 has finally outgrown its bad reputation. I purchased it on sale a few years ago and ultimately sank hundreds of surprisingly enjoyable hours into Appalachia.
It reminds me of No Man’s Sky - a testament to a development team that listened, worked tirelessly, and transformed a broken foundation into a stable, polished, and content-rich experience. I don’t recall ever spending an additional penny on the game either, so for the price of a coffee, it stands as one of my best value-for-money gaming purchases.
I want to add that this is my experience as well. You can ignore the microtransactions and still have a great time. Is it prefect? Absolutely not, it has a lot of quirks being online, but overall it was still fun

I’m gonna trust you and buy the base game now.
I hope you have as many enjoyable hours in it as I did. Best of luck out there!
