The game lives up to all expectations, the map layout is incredible and complex with a whole bunch of new npcs and enemies to run into. Is the dlc difficult? Absolutely but that’s why we all love these games, as much as it’s difficult it has put loads of new talismans, weapons and spells to combat everything you encounter. I found talismans really do show their worth in the dlc as each area offers different surprises.
My play style has always been melee but during the dlc I had to swap between sorcery and melee which opened a new play style for me. Who would have thought you could incorporate a bleed build into a sorcery build? But it worked and worked well!
The game is huge and definitely worth the investment.
