[Played on Steam Deck]

This DLC hit just as I was completing my first singeplayer run. Even though I'm also in the middle of a 4p co-op run, I found myself wanting more endgame content, and that's exactly what you get here. Bought it at 25% off and I do not regret it.

Basically, it's just more of the same. The latest patch added 1 melee weapon to the main game, and the DLC adds a few more (shown in trailer). Besides that, there an entire new map with new art and assets that fit perfectly within the style of the main game, as well as quite some indoor areas and a few side quests. Entry to the DLC content is given via a main mission that follows up on the last main game main mission, so it integrates well and does not feel disconnected as is sometimes the case with DLC, except for the fact that all its missions are entirely contained within the map. Still, it's an entire map, a good chunk of extra endgame content. I was lvl 30 when entering it, enemies are lvl 30+ for me, so do not expect a cakewalk.

If you had enough of The Ascent after the main game playthrough, this DLC is not for you as it will not offer you anything substantially new. But if like me you wanted more, this is well worth it.
