My least favorite of the 3D Fallout games.

Between invisible walls and OP enemies forcing you to follow a specific route. Kinda defeats the whole open world bit. Sure once you make it to New Vegas, you can usually take on anything. By then though you've probably cleared out most of the enemies aside from cazadors and deathclaws, leaving the world feeling mostly empty too soon. Most of the area around New Vegas itself is devoid of enemies, except for one section to the west. A bunch of POIs are just empty places filled with junk items, oh boy another empty shack with tin cans and empty bottles.

Most of the quests just piss off another faction. Boringly part of the main questlines is just running back and forth to talk with NPCs, the upside is the other part pisses off a faction so you can fight more enemies.

It is an experience though. Being my 5th or 6th playthrough so far so take the review as you want.

I'd recommend 3 first for introduction and story, if you can stand the rpg hit/miss system, then 4 for accessibility and not being a crashing mess, 76 if you got friends(and money for the unlimited storage rental) and then New Vegas being the bastard child between modern and old thats slightly disabled and lacking in what one expects.
