    At least Far Harbor was better than fighting the robots of the Automatron DLC.

    For 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.

  1. The 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.

    Nothing has changed, go to this place kill this, go to the over side of the map and kill that, it's more of the same stuff from Bethesda.

The performance is horrible, around 45 frames constantly with a high end rig. Full Review »

    Far Harbor is a great expansion and almost feels like a full game on its own. It creates a stark contrast with the commonwealth in moreFar Harbor is a great expansion and almost feels like a full game on its own. It creates a stark contrast with the commonwealth in more aspects than just being dark and foreboding; it has an interesting plot that creates a sense of mystery, believable npc's and immersive quest lines & factions. The island is highly detailed, filled to the brim with content and pretty large.

    Additionally it offers cool new weapons, new monsters & enemy factions, improved settlement building with four great locations and a proper challenge, at least on survival mode. And it has fog. Lots of it. Initially my FPS suffered a bit due to that (i7,GTX970, SDD), but after updating Nvidia drivers, optimizing for FO4 and picking adaptive V-sync it runs much smoother.
