Alright, the DLC is done!

Honestly? The story was kinda heartbreaking. It does add tons of context. While the game indeed sends you back in time, it doesn't really change anything in the present timeline. I honestly think this was for the best, because for one thing I hate the whole butterfly effect in timeline plot device, and secondly it would've required the devs to practically re-design everything.

I do think there is a nice message here; Nothing will change the past, and what is happening. The best we can do is to keep going, and make the best decision for ourselves.

And the bosses have been constant pain after another. But hey, at least the weapon you get from final boss is really cool. Max-ed out version absolutely shreds the second black rabbit brotherhood fight.

They even added some extra dialogs near the end of the game and new ending. Normally I hate it whenever an alternative ending is part of the expansion, but this has enough content to justify its asking price. Although the new ending is a simple dialog choice at the end of the game, I'd say it's well worth it. Correction; There is no new alternative ending.

The new status effect, freeze, was one of the most annoying ones I've came across. Remember toxic from Dark Souls or Scarlet Rot form Elden Ring? Yeah freeze is LoP's version of those effects. Weirdly, there were no grindstones, legion arms, nor weapons that had freeze effect. WTF.....

It is 5 chapters long, which is just under half of the base game. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this expansion.

Maybe it's good enough to be nominated for GOTY this year? /s

I'm not reading anything about the dlc yet cause I just got the game like a week ago, am about 20 hours in so far, just about to meet some bad bunny people or whatever. Loving the game so far. It's one of those where you suddenly feel hungry and realize you've been playing for 5 hours but it felt like 20 minutes. Getting the main game and dlc bundle for just 30 bucks felt like a massive steal.


I found the guy who turns the boss souls into weapons and got that kusanagi from okami looking weapon.

It's not a gunblade but I'm in my element. And that's no lie.

And they absolutely deserve all of it! Kinda sad that major western publishers would never shown this level of appreciation towards their devs
That awesome. And people keep saying gaming is dying and similar nonsense. Only trash gaming is dying. The cream rises to the top.
