Fallout: New Vegas - Old World Blues

201181/100
ShooterRole-playing (RPG)

Sci-Fi

Old World Blues is a masterclass in tonal whiplash, dressing its genuinely unsettling sci-fi horror in the gaudy threads of a 1950s B-movie. The DLC grounds its absurdist comedy in a tangible, explorable space—the Big MT research crater—where every malfunctioning appliance and disembodied brain has a tragicomic story to tell. It’s a game about the folly of genius, where you solve problems by talking to a toaster and your own removed brain, all while uncovering a narrative that’s far more poignant than its surface lunacy suggests.

About Fallout: New Vegas - Old World Blues

View Game Details
The residents of the Mojave have long assumed the trackless wastes of the ‘Big Empty’ are a no-man's-land, a desolate stretch where no living thing can survive. In Old World Blues, you discover that it is anything but... After being transported to the Big MT research crater, you find you're the only hope of saving the Think Tank – the strange group of post-human researchers who inhabit the facility. They enlist your aid to save them from their own experiments - experiments that have gone horribly out of control. As you explore the huge stretch of the Big MT crater and its many underground labs, you’ll confront strange mutated animals, battle terrifying new atomic robots, and discover a new home base to call your own. Recover all the weapons, armor, and tech of the Pre-War era and use them to help save all of Science!
