    Nuka-World adds a vast, new and elaborate landscape to Fallout 4 with lots to do and explore. Unfortunately, it's story is poorly integrated into the main game. Players are, in effect, pushed into becoming the warlord from a Mad Max movie and then muscling in on the Commonwealth in the main game.

    While it is technically possible to play Nuka-World as a good guy it is not easy because there is no obvious way to do it. The options appear to only be a) bad guy, b) really mean bad guy or c) not quite so mean but still bad guy. For players trying to enjoy more adventure in a Fallout game but not interested in being an evil Warlord completing Nuka-World's quests and missions is kind of a problem.    … Expand

    So Nuka World was fun on my first go through where I stayed true to my character's core goodness of helping others. I think this add on would be more fun if i played it much later. Say my character had become jaded with the minutemen or others and then just decided to go full on raider bad. Story wise this adds little if played during the main part of the game. If played far after theSo Nuka World was fun on my first go through where I stayed true to my character's core goodness of helping others.

    I think that it's poorly integrated into the base game. But everything else other than the Raiders is great. Like the Hobologists or the really good looking suits of power armor, personally it's worth the content but the raider story kind of sucks.

    Nuka-World doesn’t constitute the best time I’ve had playing Fallout. The action and mild role-playing don’t grow the core experience in any meaningful ways. But it did remind me why this epic post-apocalyptic adventure has kept my attention for nearly two decades, and it has everything to do with the series’ setting, culture, and mythology, all of which echo our own in ways familiar and sometimes uncomfortable.

    Nuka-World signals the end of Fallout 4 and the team at Bethesda should be proud of the game they’ve created. Nuka-World gives you several more hours in the wastelands of Fallout 4 and scratches the exploration itch one more time.

    The quality of the content isn’t as good as Far Harbour with it’s character driven story, and Bethesda are still way behind the curve of Obsidian’s relentlessly excellent New Vegas DLC, but just for how unique the place is, you’ll get your money’s worth out of it if you’re a fan of the game already and want something a little different to explore.
