Short version.
Wasteland workshop, the Marmite of dlcs. Content wise the closest dlc to this is the infamous
horse armor dlc, but WW managed to insert itself in to my hearth.

Long version
Reviewing wasteland workshop is a difficult task. I almost adore this but at the same time this feels like cash grab. I would like to give this thumbs up, but I struggle to find any real reason to do so, this simply is not worth 5€/$. Maybe if this was like Gun runners arsenal today (about 1€). If so this would've been a suberb piece of dlc atleast for me.

I do like it since it does add some new items to my arsenal ( haven't used mods at all). And I got season pass (win-win situation) so I don't feel like I would've been scammed, but I do understand why most players feel like it, this is basically a mod but without the normal mod drawbacks.

Okay, capturing animals, nothing special, but it is fun to examine deathclaw up close and personal.

Arena, the biggest letdown, everything it does is it reveals how limited AI is in fallout 4, settlers are like goldfishes, can't remember past 6 seconds. Trying to organize a fight is just like that. You, blue, go there and wait. You, red, go here and wait, piece of cake right? Nope six seconds and they return to their normal aimless roaming, orders are thrown out of the window, simply not possible. I actually d othink that modders can and will do this better at some point.

I did manage to organise a fight between Jun and Codsworth, fight lasted for 3 seconds adn ended when Codsworth spun his saw and cut Jun, gave me unparalled satisfaction.
High frustration/reward ratio in my opinion.

All in all, this is not worth purchasing separately, but if this is on sale for like 1€, ther is no reason not to get this. I would say that WW's biggest strongpoint is the modding assets it introduces in some form.

With all these flaws, this is not the greatest dlc, but for me the pros outweight the cons (season pass lowered my expectations quite a bit) that's why I give this thumbs up, not because of logic, by that I should give this thumbs down, but because this dlc managed to win my hearth.


This is my OPINION, no reason to get mad.

Edit #1
Ok, apparently this review is a bit bad, I tried to fix it, hope it helps.
