This DLC should come with a warning: only fans of Avasarala from the TV show will truly enjoy it. I certainly did, as she is arguably one of the best characters, and getting to see Shohreh Aghdashloo in this role again is absolutely worth the price.

However, the gameplay is somewhat lacking compared to the main game, and the entire DLC keeps you confined to her office. But since I was there for Shohreh Aghdashloo's performance, this wasn't an issue for me.

The game successfully captures the atmosphere of The Expanse TV series, and it's delightful to hear some of the familiar characters' voices again.

Not without flaws, but overall a good story and visuals.

Damn this game needs a map, it is not about difficulty it is about respecting my time. I spent hours of my playthrough looking for a specific place. And if you made a break for a few days during playing this game - good luck finding anything.

Apart from that the game is great. And if someone wants to pick it up - just draw a map and mark portals and purple doors.

Game is still broken on PC. Unless you have a top of the line CPU and at least a RTX 4080, stay away from it.

While the game is undeniably beautiful, the platforming experience feels imprecise and clunky, introducing a frustrating level of difficulty. And most times you would die because Ori fails to execute the intended actions.

UPD after beating the game: Difficulty curve in this game is a joke. It is extremely punishing and frustrating in the beginning. Then it becomes challenging but fair with double jump and wall climbing in the second half. And after getting all the abilities it actually becomes pleasant to play, and sometimes even too easy. Giving player double jumping and wall hugging from the start would have significantly improved the experience.

Very mediocre souls like. Maze like level design without clear directions and chaotic fights (with extremely punishing timings) make playing this game very painful.

Stay away even on sale (4 hours in game)

(UPD after +11 hours) Well, it grows on you :) I've almost mastered the rhythm of the fights. And if clunky combat and an overall feeling of moving through water don't deter you, it's worth picking up on sale.

I can't even describe how much I hate people who designed platforming sections. In other aspects game is fine
