    Dreadful frame rate at times, I mean like very bad. I've played Homefront and it even beats that in bad frame rate. The DLC brings nothing memorable. Possibly 1 of the most underwhelming DLCs after playing some of the best stuff out there recently.

    I'm just going to throw this out there. This DLC is mediocre. That's all there is to it. The main story is short and it's **** as well with an ending that's the standard cheap cop out that we have all come to expect from the brainless unoriginal and untalented writers at bethesda. The side quests are even worse and if you go into this dlc at any kind of higher level, Even level 60 you willI'm just going to throw this out there. This DLC is mediocre. That's all there is to it. The main story is short and it's **** as well with an ending that's the standard cheap cop out that we have all come to expect from the brainless unoriginal and untalented writers at bethesda. The side quests are even worse and if you go into this dlc at any kind of higher level, Even level 60 you will find that there is absolutely no challenge to be had. Everyone and everything dies too easy and there's just nothing fun about that.

    Exploration is also lacking with minimal pre war structures to be explored. And for some reason there's freaking super mutants there because of course bethesda's too cheap and half assed to be original so they're the only challenging thing on the island.

    The three factions you meet are pure garbage. (Surprising absolutely no one at this point) and you'll want to get all of their quest rewards and abandon them as soon as possible.

    The main quest is also glitched and keeps you from progressing and of course these scumbags haven't fixed it yet because they expect modders to fix everything for free.

    The only good thing to come of this dlc is some new gear and settlement items, That's it. Poorly done quests and characters ruined the dlc just like they ruined the main game. Surprise surprise.    … Expand

    Mediocre Game and an Insult to every Fallout-Veteran. Still better than F76 tho. DONT BUY!

    Cant see enemies. Dont know where they shooting from. Dogmeat gets in the way while i am looting. Asking me to kill raiders in a factory or some crap but the raiders dont come to me! I must find them and then kill them? Grenade markers are worthless. CRAP GAME WASTE OF TIME. STUPID BETHESDA. EAT 0 NOOB DEVS. CANT EVEN MAKE GAME THESE STUPID DEVS.

    More of the same great game, but it's time for an upgrade. Bring on Fallout 5. [Aug 2016, p.88]

    Far Harbor has lots of new content and it’s great to return to Fallout 4. A dark, seedy, and just creepy island with a interesting back story only had me wanting to explore the world more and more.

    The setting for Far Harbor itself is not the most exciting due to its foggy nature and a generally dull and dark world. That being said, there's plenty here to keep you busy, interested and more than entertained for a good number of hours.
