Jun 28, 2016With excellent gameplay and atmospheric effects, tied together in a bundle of deeply intricate lore, fans of the series should not be disappointed.
-
May 25, 2016Far Harbor delivers, and if Bethesda continues to make DLC for Fallout 4 this is exactly what we want to see from them. A game with choices and emotion, built in a world that's chock-full of atmosphere and challenges, while still spinning a web of dark humor and happiness and telling a story of people struggling to survive in a world where survival is at best optional and at worst impossible.
-
May 19, 2016If you have run out of things to do in the Commonwealth, or simply want to experience something with more variety and choice for the player, then Far Harbor will surely satisfy.

CD-ActionSep 16, 2016Unlike previous Fallout 4 DLCs Far Harbor provides a huge new island full of interesting stories, people to talk to and tough choices to make. A must-have for any Fallout fan. [09/2016, p.43]
-
May 25, 2016Far Harbor is the biggest DLC Fallout has ever seen. An intriguing story will make sure there are some tough choices to be made. Definitely a must-have for every Fallout fan.
-
May 20, 2016Far Harbor adds a large amount of great quests and content within its gloomy but distinctive island setting. Thanks to some well-written, morally ambiguous characters, its choices are as gray as the weather, and much more interesting. Though the new companion isn’t the strongest and the supposedly ruinous radioactive fog is more annoying than threatening, all of the adventuring and new gear absolutely made it worth my while to return to Fallout 4 for Far Harbor.
-
May 28, 2016From a narrative standpoint, this is definitely the DLC that Fallout 4 needed. You'll meet a lot of interesting characters in Far Harbor, all connected in a complex and satisfying storyline with multiple moral choices. It definitely costs a lot for a DLC, but it's worth every penny.

Jun 6, 2016Looking for that perfect escape from the daily grind of supermutants, synths, railroad activists, raiders, rust devils, and Brotherhood of Steel do-gooder types who parade around the post-apocalyptic Boston wasteland like they frigging own the place? Then welcome to Far Harbor, a lovely, picturesque, stupendously highly radioactive island off the coast of Maine.
-
May 26, 2016Far Harbor is the best DLC ever released for Fallout 4. With its blend of traditional sci-fi and horror, this expansion rewrites the world of Fallout, with more than 12 hours of new content, a living and captivating new area to explore, and some intriguing characters to interact with.
-
May 26, 2016Far Harbor offers an abundant amount of content and a fascinating and expansive new area to explore. This is the largest and best expansion for Fallout 4 this far.
-
May 23, 2016Aside from a puzzle sequence that completely breaks up the flow of the entire expansion, every inch of Far Harbor is oozing with the detail and love that make Fallout 4 such an impressive feat.
-
May 20, 2016A great setting, a good story, and more dialogue-based solutions than the base game provides.
-
Jun 7, 2016Quotation forthcoming.
-
Jun 4, 2016At least Far Harbor was better than fighting the robots of the Automatron DLC.
-
May 24, 2016For its new locations and weapons, the turbulent waters of Maine are a satisfying compliment to Fallout 4. But where Far Harbor succeeds in delivering more of the same great gameplay and oddball characters that made the main campaign such a joy, it can't muster an interesting story.

May 28, 2016The expansion is so large, so full of stuff, that the puzzle sequence forms a very small part of it. It’s just a very, very frustrating part. Grit your teeth. Take deep breaths. Hope that the pathfinding behaves. You will be able to get back to what you enjoy about Fallout, I promise.
