The base game is great but this DLC was just not it. I like difficult, but this DLC wasn't a good difficult, it was a bad difficult. How come? It's artificially difficult. Badly designed, bullet spongy difficult. Just poor game design.

The encounters drag for far too long, tough enemies are effectively bullet sponges, and you will sense it's noticeably more punishing than the base game, to the point it becomes obnoxious and the fun factor is gone, regardless of the difficulty you choose.

And then there's the boss battle. Boy was that a drag. It wasn't fun, it wasn't difficult, it was straight up tedious. And reading the other reviews glazing this turd is the cherry on top of this ♥♥♥♥ cake. It reads like people who pour the entire bottle of hot sauce in their noodles and say iT's nOt sPiCy, while you can see them crying and sniffling while shoving spoonful after spoonful of inedible garbage in their mouths.

There was a time where I considered myself a competionist and I forced myself to push through until the end. I was unemployed back then, and to be fair, I had a lot of free time. Today that's no longer the case. I set the difficulty to the lowest option, rushed through the last encounter to fight the boss, and after seeing his healthbar regenerating time after time after time while I boringly dodged and exploited the same weak spots over and over and over again, something in me just snapped, and I realized I wasn't having fun at all. Right before the final blow, I closed the game and didn't look back. The story they were trying to tell me? I no longer care, lost interest. Next.
