Wasteland Workshop – $4.99
The month of April saw Fallout 4’s second expansion land in the form of Wasteland Workshop. This DLC focused on the settlement building aspect of Fallout 4, adding a ton of items and a cool new feature to spruce up your settlements.
Wasteland Workshop’s list of new items and crafting components was pretty substantial, with many settlement fans overjoyed that they finally had a new building material, or that roof they’d been waiting for, for oh so long. However, what grabbed many players’ attention most was the ability to capture creatures of the wasteland and pit them against one another, or your settlers, in a battle to the death. You could build yourself an arena, gather your settlers, and watch the chaos unfold as a Deathclaw took on a Yao Guai in a battle to the death. Unfortunately, the novelty quickly wore off and Wasteland Workshop’s additions weren’t enough to sway those who weren’t already invested in the game’s building elements.
That said, Wasteland Workshop was never meant to be quite as substantial as its two DLC counterparts. It was a cheap and cheerful expansion that ultimately had limited appeal, and due to this, it didn’t hit quite as hard as Automatron did before it.
