How much enjoyment you get from Nuka-World will depend on how much you enjoy shooting things in Fallout 4. Expect to stare at a lot of loading screens while establishing yourself as a tyrant of the Wastes.

But while large and new, Nuka-World still manages to wear out its welcome with repeated fetch quests that have you walk from one end of the park to another, or have you pop into and out of a building (or worse, take a quick trip back to the Commonwealth) just to kill or talk to one guy (it can really go either way when youвЂ™re acting like a Raider). Each of those areas features custom made assets, new art, and unique monsters which is a refreshing change if youвЂ™ve spent hundreds of hours wandering around the Wastes noticing the same three shack walls used everywhere you go. Nuka-World is a sprawling park made up of six separate theme areas like a discount Disneyland. No one can say they didnвЂ™t put the work in on this one.ДЄt the same time though, while there is a ton of stuff to mess with, lots of it feels superfluous or even padded out. Nuka-World introduces a massive new area, tons of new weapons, clothing, aid items, and characters to muck around with. Playing Nuka-World, I could really feel Bethesda swinging for the fences with this one, a real attempt to deliver something grand and new before closing the book on Fallout 4. Still heвЂ™s fun to have tagging along if only to hear him run down the other Raider bosses and lame theme park attractions. It feels like a missed opportunity to try something different than the typical companion relationship. Sadly, he never quite pulls a Kingslayer moment and his arc kind of peters out. Gage is quickly established as a Starscream-like perpetual schemer who sets up other people to take the heat of being a figurehead while manipulating things behind the scenes. YouвЂ™re chaperoned through the experience by a new Raider companion character, Gage. Because this is a Fallout video game, being the Overboss somehow translates into being the errand boy for each of the three rival gangвЂ™s leaders who will endlessly test you to prove youвЂ™re fit to lead by, well, following their orders exactly. Because this is a video game, you come in, kill their leader, and are immediately crowned the new Raider King (or Overboss if you prefer). The park is occupied by three rival Raider gangs tenuously held together under a shaky truce. As soon as you exit from the tram that takes you from the Commonwealth to the park, youвЂ™re jumped into the experience through a gauntlet of traps, monsters, and ambushes designed to test your mettle.

Nuka-World might look like a fun place to hang out with all the cartoon mascots and cheery jingles on loop, but it quickly becomes apparent this is no vacation spot. MSRP: $19.99 standalone / included in the $49.99 season pass Like all road trips, it starts fun, but eventually you wind up exhausted, worn out, and feeling like you probably paid more for admission than you should have.ДЇallout 4: Nuka-World (PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One) A sightseeing tour to the far flung reaches of Massachusetts where youвЂ™ll meet new (terrible) people, see some hokey attractions, and pick up some novelty tchotchkes and trinkets. BethesdaвЂ™s last chance to right the ship and get things back on course. With a lineup of filler Workshop DLC that mostly focused on the settlement aspect of the game, and the ambitious but ultimately disappointing Far Harbor, the final scheduled piece of Fallout 4 DLC, Nuka-World has a lot resting on its shoulders. WeвЂ™ve mused before at Destructoid that Fallout 4 has had one of the worst season passes worth of DLC in recent memory.
