From all expansions to Fallout 4 this is the content richest. A cursed island with some well executed scary moments, an atmosphere that reminds me of Alan Wake and greatly constructed quests with big decisions. This is a very good addition to the Fallout 4 core.
Far Harbor puts an end to Fallout 4, at least until the arrival of mods to console versions next month. A wide map to explore, a nice array of new gear and missions, the fog is calling for us and we will come to see what is hiding inside.
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.
Far Harbor is a DLC that winds down rather than winds up, but it gets away with it. It uses a design that's refreshing even if it does eventually sour, and packs a lot of fun into all the quests you can pick up.
Far Harbor feels like a classic Bethesda move, where we’re being given a ton of content that is littered with bugs and seemingly half-assed pieces, but contains some seriously fantastic bits as well.
It over-confidently asserts twists and conundrums, without doing enough to earn your investment in the outcome of your decisions. If a moving story is what you're after, steer your ship back to the shores of the Commonwealth.
Far Harbor should have be an easy sell to those who have picked the Commonwealth clean, but something terrible lurks within the fog. Serious framerate issues on PS4 make the expansion stink like the rot of a mutated fishman, killing any sense of adventure in what is otherwise an intruiging add-on.
I have totally loved Fallout 4, and have spent hundreds of hours happily engrossed in poring over The Commonwealth and all its many challenges and pleasures. Having said that, I didn't love the DLC's quite as much and was pretty disappointed in several of them. Far Harbor is by far my favourite one. The environment is atmospheric and beautiful in a very dark, dank and gloomy sort of way. There's some terrific new story lines, particularly one involving one of my favourite NCPs from the main story, and quite a bit of new gear that's a great addition to my collection - including a nice set of distinct power armor and one of my top three favourite guns in the whole Fallout 4 world. Far Harbor is a BIG addition, and provides a lot more world to explore and more settlements to build if you're into that (which I am, in a big way!), so as I had a handful of thriving settlements here, even once I'd finished all the quests and story lines I was still travelling back and forth to maintain my settlements there, and it integrated well into my game ongoing. I have never had any problems with the frame rate or crashing that other people have mentioned. So if you've enjoyed the main body of Fallout 4 I would definitely recommend you foraying across the sea to explore Far Harbor.
This was a pretty good DLC. I enjoyed exploring Far Harbor but after a while the whole haunted(I know it’s not haunted) vibe got boring. The story was pretty good as I enjoy the synth storyline in the game.
DO NOT BUY UNFINISHED PRODUCT
Glitches and low frame rate caps ruin the experience main quest glitched out for me with a NPC dissapearing. Yes I know I'm reviewing the PS4 version people seem to think that others were reviewing the wrong platform not that that is an excuse to release a mess ****. I love fallout dlc but even minus the glitches it gets a meh from me it was ok but it is not acceptable to release in this state.
