Music wise, the game falls into many of the same trappings of titles set in this sort of time and place. Expect lots of catchy synth. While nothing particularly stood out, the game does allow you to set up a playlist at the beginning of every work day, so you at least get to focus on the songs you want to hear.

First off, that means you get a whole new map to explore. It’s not anywhere near as big as the main game, but that is totally fine. This achieves what most DLCs should: create an isolated add-on experience that exists separately from the main game and builds on it.

Finding the sweet spot with an enemy’s attack takes practice, and if you’re too late you’ll absorb a hit — blocking wards off blows, but your own posture erodes with each strike.

It should also be noted that there is a handful of action sequences, and the lack of technical finesse here is notable. There were a few sequences that we had to play multiple times simply because the targeting cursor moved with a weird floatiness.

As you’d suspect there’s no meat on the bone in terms of the narrative, which is mostly played for chuckles during the occasional cut scenes. As a conduit to stage after stage of intense encounters with robots that wanna shut you down permanently, however, it works just fine.
