Fallout 4: Nuka-World Critic Reviews

The variety of areas that make Nuka World, as well as themed gear of each of them is probably the main attractive of this DLC. It keeps with what we saw in the main game when it comes to gameplay and mission mechanics, without many new things to talk about, but it will most likely be the perfect excuse that those who want to roam the Wasteland once again need.

As the final chapter of Fallout 4, Nuka-World does a stellar job in delivering an experience that fans are sure to enjoy clocking in around 20 hours if you complete the side quests.

Nuka-World has amused and frustrated us at the same time. The new setting is among the most memorable of the entire series. However being forced to be evil with no other alternatives is something that a RPG should never do.

Nuka-World is a monument to the raider aesthetic, poor life decisions and sugary soda-induced diabetes. You'll need a higher-than-normal glitch tolerance. But if you’re willing to assume a raider's principles for good, then you’ll want the uncompromising, combat-heavy lifestyle that Nuka-World provides.

Unfortunately for me at least, this is another example of coming close but still being oh so far away. This was a great opportunity Bethesda, and it seems you’ve gone with the safer route yet again.

It may not be the grand finale that fans of Fallout 4 have been waiting for, but Nuka World is an enjoyable slice of content all the same. With a focus on exploration, the real star of the show here is the theme park itself, which is dripping with detail and dark humour.

Automatron has a short-lived story that’s enjoyable without ever really kicking into gear, but luckily, the robot-building and other new additions to the Commonwealth save this first batch of Fallout 4 DLC from being a disappointment.

Nuka-World's fantastic new setting and cool new opportunities belies its overall lack of depth. There's a lot to do in this expansion, but not a lot of it is all that interesting. It could be worse, but it could also be a whole lot better.

Nuka-World is big and impressive and flashy, but just like any theme park, it’s all a facade. Peek behind the curtain and you can see the struts and wires that animate the mascots. In Nuka-World’s case, that’s a scaffolding made of bones and spent magazines. It’s up to you if that’s a park you feel like visiting.

Nuka World is an enjoyable expansion with a lot of new content for Fallout 4 addicts. The Nuka Cola Theme Park is a fantastic location, which makes us regret that there a too many action-related quests and not enough roleplay and talking.

Tons of fetch quests, far too much time spent away from the theme park, and forcing the role playing out of RPG, it’s still a fun addition - if you don’t mind playing it evil.

If Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth, then Nuka-World is the crappiest place in the Wasteland.

This is a typical theme park experience: A lot to sea, an occasional highlight ride, but a lot of mediocrity to pass through.
