Lockdown DLC
Kyle's Review of "Lockdown" - 5/5
Long and stunningly detailed. 5/5 stars.

For a campaign that doesn't use any custom sounds or textures (I checked!), it's unbelievable how Lockdown manages to look and feel so uniquely original in every single area. This campaign looks gorgeous thanks to smart use of colored lighting, fog effects, and repurposing default assets in creative new ways. There are occasionally floating props or ugly reflections, but Lockdown is still an aesthetic achievement that packs an incredible amount of detail into every square inch.

The level design is also complex without being overcomplicated. These secret laboratories and tight city streets are as good as anything from Resident Evil, which is high praise from me. Map 4's expansive city blocks can be easy to get lost in sometimes, but I honestly didn't mind too much because everything is so fun to explore. Throw in some exciting horde events, good balance, a superb gauntlet finale and a 90-minute length and you've got yourself a new classic.
