FO4 got a little flack, but overall it was very well received. You can see the reviews for yourself. Most of them are pretty high.

It was on the lower end of favorable, lots of 8s about 10% of professionals being mixed. That's not well received. Steam was about 75% positive, that's not glowing reviews. It's a good, but not great game. That's great for a random indie title or a yearly release, but for once a decade franchise title, it's not good.

  • IGN: 9.5
  • PC Gamer: 88
  • Metacritic: 87 critical, 6.8 User (game was very divisive for the old fans in particular so that's not unusual IMO. You can see reviews swing wildly there with sub-5's and 9-10 both all over the place)
  • Steam: is not 75%. I am not sure where you're going that. It's 83% all time, 89% recent, which I find very interesting actually.

You're welcome to throw out all of the above if you don't like the sites for whatever reason, but if you could show 3-4 other examples from sites you'd consider valid if you take with issue the above I'd appreciate it. They were the top hits and all are major-known sites, that's about it. I just don't want to get bogged down in a source argument.

There's a lot of attempts in this thread to make it seem like Fallout 4 wasn't a massive commercial and critical hit.
