Fallout: New Vegas - Dead Money Review (apleno)

In my personal opinion, the weakest of all the DLCs. Concept, is extremely interesting with a "Survival Horror" take on Fallout New Vegas, where ammo is scarce and the most common effective weapon is 3 knives taped to a stick.
However, this concept quickly grows boring as you have a bomb attached to your neck that will go off in certain areas if you stay there for too long, causing for frequent, annoying deaths. Along with that, this one is probably because I'm a bumbling idiot, but the game does a very poor job pointing you in the right direction, causing me to wander for way longer than I probably should, eating damage the entire time. Then the whole survival horror aspect is removed upon getting to the casino, where I was able to play Blackjack for about 15~ish minutes, and was able to afford around 200 stimpacks making all fights against enemies a massive joke.
On the plus side though, the story of the Sierra Madre, and the mostly connected story of all of the DLCs is pretty interesting, and I like how certain characters are across multiple DLCs in some sense, maybe not with their physical appearance but things they left behind, notes, and the such. My favorite one of these is in Old World Blues where Father Elijah was clearly testing out bomb collars, and making prototypes for them.
4/10, Weakest of all the DLCs. Not like massively horrible, it's still Fallout New Vegas, just... could of been better. If you're unsure, watch a YouTube video instead of it, or use a guide so you don't get lost.
Or don't, I don't care your game not mine I ain't gonna force ya to do anything.
