#Fallout 4 automaton review full

Put short, if you liked Fallout 4 you'll get a few hours of entertainment out of this, more if you like building things, otherwise this is an unimpressive waste of time. For the £7.99 price tag, that honestly doesn’t feel like an awful lot but then again, what’s here actually adds a fair bit to the base Fallout 4 experience. Makes me very glad I decided to use my power armour in this dlc. Fallout 4 is getting major expansion in May Developer Bethesda creates the content of three downloadable extensions for Fallout 4 known. Also, the final 'boss' encounter is an absolute nightmare for stealth based characters so that's something you might want to be aware of beforehand.

I think at full price this dlc is just a bad value proposition unless you really want to build robots, and it's probably something that could have existed in the base game if it wasn't so tonally disconnected from everything else. So while it may sound like I'm down on the dlc, I enjoyed my time with it, but like I said I believe that's mostly just because I enjoyed having a reason to get back into Fallout 4 (I enjoy it for what it is, especially on survival mode). For someone who isn't that big into the settlement stuff and running a lone wanderer character pretty much everything in this dlc is pointless outside of the lacklustre quest chain, which is a bit disappointing. The main reason someone might want to play this is for the robot crafting station, a new settlement building that allows you to construct and customise robotic companions. The quests themselves weren't entirely compelling though at the same time it is nice to have more of a reason to explore the Commonwealth, especially on Survival difficulty, after a while due to lowered respawn rates the world practically becomes a ghost town, so having new Rust Devil and robot encounters shook things up a bit. It feels more like a couple of tacked on quests that lead you to a handful of locations to keep you occupied for a few hours.

Now, developer Bethesda Game Studios has announced exactly when the add-on will unlock around the world for Xbox One, PlayStation 4. That reflection lead me to realise that this dlc is fairly mediocre overall, none of it feels like something that was extensively worked on. Fallout 4 s first expansion, Automatron, arrives on March 22. Initially I had rated this a slightly higher (70%) but upon reflection I was likely attributing too much of the base Fallout 4 into that rating and therefore I lowered it.
