So i'm maybe ~halfway through Act 2 and this game is... incredible.

Story? 10/10
Combat? 10/10
OST? 11/10

"For those who come after" <3

I really, REALLY wanted to love this DLC. FromSoft is one of my most respected developers. Elden Ring was a masterpiece of a game (though, admittedly not perfect - no game is). But we need to have an open, honest conversation on difficulty and boss design. I personally feel (and I'm sure many others do) that FromSoft has overshot boss aggression and difficulty. Pretty much every boss fight has been "wait for the boss to finish its 10+ second-long combo, get to attack once, only for the cycle to repeat." Many of the fights have been amazing *spectacle* fights but only a few of them have been actually fun to fight.

The DLC did so many other things right - the settings, the art direction, the NPCs and their questlines, the soundtrack - all fantastic. But the main thing that draws people to these games - the boss fights - are largely unfun to fight in my honest opinion.

I really hope FromSoftware takes a hard look at their boss design philosophy in future IPs and improves the formula.

Witch mommy has abs

Fantastic game. Very spook

Definitely recommend!!

Not *quite* as replayable as something like Phasmophobia, but is super fun with friends.

The developer is actively working on the game to push out new content. The new map, Asylum, is really well done and Molly is extremely creepy.

Definitely check it out! :D Well worth the $5 price tag!

Couldn’t even do Amateur Tutorial house solo without getting spooked.

10/10 would poo my pants again KEKW

This game is a masterpiece.

I'm still early on in my time with the game, and have only cleared the final boss once, but i'm in love.

The art/character design are 10/10

The voice acting is 10/10

The soundtrack is 10/10

you have 6 weapons to play with, all of which play very differently from one another, and the powerups from the Gods all interact with the weapons differently.

If you're a fan of roguelikes, buy this game. NOW <3

[Updated 4/11/2020] I've been meaning to update this review for a while. The CPU usage issues have gotten much better and the game is playable now. Fantastic game!

=======================
Anyone who knows me knows i LOVE Monster Hunter: World. I have the game and Iceborne on both PS4 and PC; however, I cannot recommend the game in its current state. Ever since Iceborne launched, the game CHEWS through CPU power. Even at Astera/Seliana the game frequently reaches 95% CPU usage -- a problem that wasn't present in base World.

This has resulted in a nearly unplayable game. Sure, people with top-of-the-line PC specs are unaffected by the issue, but this game is currently an unacceptable port.

I will change this review should the CPU-eating issues be fixed/patched.

So, I picked up this game way back in 2015 during its early access days and MAN I was not impressed. My review at the time would have been something to the effect of "Don't waste your time, Tripwire has ruined a fantastic game."

Fast-forward to the Halloween Event of this year when I decided to give the game a second chance. And holy crap the game has come such a long way. There are tons more weapons, maps, perks, new "elite" zeds and man the game is just so much more fun now.

Also, Tripwire supported KF1 for YEARS after its release; it's reasonable to assume they will do the same for KF2.

If story is super important to you, maybe not the game for you.

If you just wanna have fun slaughtering waves of "zombies" with some great background metal music, give this game a chance!

Best $15 boss fight ever

10/10 would git rekt again
