Even if the story elements don’t interest you, the combat found in the add-on is on par with the most challenging segments of the main game. Enemies attack in swarms throughout and can make advancement difficult even on the default setting. There were actually moments when the screen became crowded to the point that I had difficulty locating my character amid the action. Those instances definitely felt over the top, but thankfully they were isolated.

The soundtrack features a subdued yet powerful score that never overpowers the on-screen action. It was actually striking to hear such a minimalist approach during large segments of the game, but the melancholy tones fit the darker mood of the story. There’s also no shortage of strong voice acting with characters displaying the type of range and depth that hadn’t been asked previously.
