Fallout 4: Far Harbor Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
My main issue with this DLC is that having to hop between Far Harbor and The Commonwealth to help out my settlements made it difficult to stay truly immersed in the story. One of my favorite things about the Fallout 3 and New Vegas add-ons was that you could leave the main campaign behind without a worry, and just have fun with the DLC storyline. This decision lowers your engagement with the story and at times is downright frustrating, but that being said, it fit with the Fallout 4 style of the world still turning without you.
Fallout 4: Far Harbor is a massive improvement from Fallout 4’s Automatron. Far Harbor many look like the Commonwealth but the unique cast of characters and interesting series of quests kept me busy for hours. If you plan to take a trip to Far Harbor plan accordingly, you’re going to spend a lot of time here.
Bethesda's latest DLC is big, in more ways than one.
Changing aesthetic from 'Dry Urban Dilapidation Chic' to 'Irradiated Sea Fog Realness' is refreshing.
Far Harbor sits somewhere between a San Francisco noir and a Stephen King thriller. There are things lurking in the fog that you've never seen before. And warring factions fight for both the fog's preservation and eradication. And see if you can stay on task long enough to find the missing girl, too. Far Harbor is a neat collection of short stories in the Fallout 4 novel.
The best and worst of Fallout in one giant-sized new expansion, with better storytelling than the main game but even worse graphics.
If you are absolutely starving for more Fallout 4 content, Far Harbor will give you another impressively large landscape to explore and some great side content to dig into. If you were already tired of Fallout 4 and hoping the expansion would provide something unique enough to justify coming back, this isn’t it.
The fog of Far Harbor is to be feared. It inflicts radiation poisoning on those who dare to trek through it, it gives birth to horribly slimy creatures of the deep, and it does an admirable job of obscuring your view of the fiends that stalk the wilderness. The island's residents have a right to fear the mist: it keeps them penned inside of their small settlements, forced to await the next inevitable mutant attack – but you'll come to loathe the fog for entirely different reasons.
