    This addon is worth getting for its out-of-this-world puns and jokes, in a unique manner that you won't soon forget!

    Old World Blues is situated at an abandoned crater called Big MT, that looks like Mars and houses strange science facilities for good 'ol exploration, and its interactable inhabitants are curiously odd, deliciously funny... Read Full Review

    Interesting backstory, nice getaway from main campaign, but dull combat and environment.
