Far Harbor has so far been the big boy of Fallout 4 DLC - it's big, it's packed with adventure, and it has a completely different atmosphere to the urban climes of the Boston Wasteland. Most importantly, it's pretty good, though it all threatens to completely unravel when you're forced into doing a series of dreary VR puzzles are more 'Lemmings meets Minecraft' than Fallout.

The idea is that you need to retrieve memories for Dima, a synth who plays a crucial role in the main Far Harbor questline. You do so by walking around a large blue room filled with piles of small blue cubes. You need to move these around to clear a path for little digital bugs to get through, as well as dealing with abstract depictions of firewalls, 'Decoder Streams' and other mundane hacky-trash that dents the DLC's momentum.

Minigames are fine, but this is several full-on puzzles that look like they're trying to show you what everyday life looks like from a Tetromino's perspective - and it ain't pretty.
