Fallout 4: Nuka World DLC (Xbox One)

The final add-on for Fallout 4, meaning? There's nothing left to do but wait for Fallout 5! Welcome to Nuka World, the theme park to threaten Disney World as the greatest.... and now deadliest.

We are taken to a whole new area, a theme park... filled to the brim with raiders. Believe it or not, they're actually not that hostile towards you. That's because you took out the Underboss and became the new one, leader of the raiders inhabiting Nuka World.

The theme park is split into a number of themes, space, western, renaissance and a couple more. There are also three raider gangs; The Pack, The Disciples and The Operators. You're tasked with taking over each part of the pack, whether you're taking it from ghouls, robots or the new creatures, bloodworms. When you take over an area, you get to decide which raider gang takes over. Not every gang will be happy, especially if they don't get the territory.

The story is relatively short, it's essentially kill the Underboss (definitely the best part), take over all the districts and the final mission. There's a small amount of side mission, some even spill over into the Commonwealth. You can also turn settlements you had beforehand into Raider camps. Be warned, because Fallout certainly didn't warn me, Preston will hate you and you will lose him as a follower of you continue the story. It's a shame the DLC didn't stay as strong as the beginning.

As well as new story and a new location, we get new enemies and new Nuka Cola flavors, each one has its own effect and you can brew them yourself. There's also an arcade where you can play the games, and spend your tickets on prizes. You can also fight in the arena against anyone who tries to take your title of Underboss. I will give a special mention to the fun house in the story, a lot of effort went into that and it's cool as fuck.

This is a great DLC, but it's also disapointing. I had super high expectations just from the premise, although it didn't fail to deliver, it didn't excel either. Unfortunately not my DLC of the year as I predicted, but no doubt one of the best.

4/5
