    Nuka-World doesn't have much depth or intrigue to its story, but the world is varied and exceptionally fun to explore. There is enough content here to satisfy anyone who wishes to just walk around and get to know the park, especially if you're eager to expand your arsenal and Nuka Cola collection.

    Nuka World is one of the most original locations in the whole Fallout franchise. Nuke World is big, unique and offers a few cool missions. Too bad Bethesda makes you the bad guy, cause the Raiders are very unpleasant and there is no alternative to it.

    The Theme Park that every Fallout fan would love is the setting for Fallout 4 last expansion. Interesting locations and very action focused, but remains very repetitive in the mission's objectives.

    Very dissapointing last hurrah of the Fallout 4. Boring, not exciting at all, and the last quest does not feel like the last quest. Iam reallyVery dissapointing last hurrah of the Fallout 4.

Dont buy it for 20 Bucks, not worth it even for the fans of the series like me.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Story: 0/10. It's the most unimaginative and forgettable plot Bethesda has come up with so far. Plot is incredibly unbelievable and dull, and there is not a single likable character in it. What's particularly awkward is that even the voice acting for the main character feels ingenuine and fake- probably because vanilla Fallout 4 built you up to be this settlement helping hero, and then this expansion suddenly makes you into a kingpin who can only make bad karma decisions. What happened to your main character in between the events of Fallout 4 and Nuka World? A psychotic break?? Whats strange about this DLC is that Bethesda actually did a decent job with Far Harbor in terms of storytelling and roleplaying: Far Harbor was a step forward away from the disaster vanilla Fallout 4 was, in that it introduced three unique and interesting factions, a great story, and the ability to make impactful decisions that lead to a variety of endings. Nuka World is like...twenty steps backward into the original Fallout 4, not only reproducing everything we hated about the game, but doing it even worse: in Nuka World we have three factions....that are all pretty much the same. There basically is no storyline. And there's only two endings. The "bad" ending is the one that actually plays through the expansion where you roleplay the raider, and no matter what decisions you make, the end result is the same. The "good" ending is actually completed in 10 minutes.

    Innovation: 1/10. Literally almost nothing is new about this game. All the "new" enemies are just reskins/retexures of existing enemies of vanilla Fallout 4...When I saw the retextured deathclaw I vowed to never support the developers responsible for this horrible expansion and the vanilla game. Even the ideas aren't new: the "gauntlet" is something we've actually found before in the "Maze House" easter egg of vanilla Fallout 4.... The only thing that is kind of new is the ability to make raider outposts and attack your own settlements... no one asked for it.

    Gameplay: -1/10. The new gameplay that is introduced is the ability to lead an assault onto your own settlements. The mechanics behind it are so underdeveloped and cumbersome that just like vanilla Fallout 4, no one really wants to bother with it. The quests are also the absolute WORST quests Bethesda has ever released. The repeatable quests for caps is just "kill or enslave" this same no-name NPC in Diamond City, in the same room. An example of another quest is to roam around this big area scavenger-hunting for 20 of the same item... It's just boring busy work, and it doesn't feel like a fun game, it feels like a dumb chore.

    Overall: 0 + 1 + -1 = 0    … Full Review »
