I don’t have much to add, we talked about it enough already. The game and the expansion are incredible experiences.

I don’t hold it against the expansion, but I will say some of it’s additions are lame. The new skill tree is boring. I mean, I never ride a mount in that game so it’s all useless, except for the resource and inventory ones at the bottom, and having skills like that in a skill tree always just feels really lazy.

Also, I’m not a fan of the new weapons. They’re just not fun to use. In a game all about using tools and crazy weapons creatively, being given was is essentially an assault rifle and a flame thrower feels really uninspired. Compared to the Tearblaster, Ropecaster, and traps of the original game, the new weapons are boring. The fact that there’s reall only two new weapons, just with additional versions with different elements doesn’t help.

Again, I don’t really hold this against the expansion. They could have added no skill tree and no new weapons, and I’d still love it.

On the other hand, the few new Banuk outfits are great, and the new machines are amazing. Scorchers and Frostclaws are challenging and incredibly fun to fight.
