After finishing "Not a Hero" I moved right onto this DLC in the same stream!: https://youtube.com/live/J-qPjtVojWk

The story of this one is based on if you make a very specific major story decision (Which I felt was selfish, considering everything Zoe did for you) which always erks me a little when it comes off like they gave you this choice, but you must've chosen this one because you're stupid if you didn't, or something like that I imagine the developer is saying when they made DLC like this to the game. Not a Hero didn't have this issue as all the following events could've happened regardless of what option, but this one they show you make a certain option (not going to spoil) that leads to the events that follow.

Zoe's uncle, Joe Baker, is going through the swamp, wanting to get to the house to find out what happened to his family from a while back (I forget, but it's set about a month or something after the events of Not A Hero) and he finds Zoe, mutated into, what I can only describe as potential sexy crystal tyrant!

Anyway, when he finds her she's surrounded by agents from the rebranded "Blue Umbrella" who you learn more about in the previous DLC, but he instantly distrusts them and beats the crap out of them with his fists, not listening to them when they were saying how they wanted to take her back to base to cure her.

He finds out later from the one be brought back that they wanted to cure her before he got involved and all the while a large humanoid monster is chasing you and Zoe. The damn thing looks like Swamp Thing and considering his origin story, probably not that dissimilar either. He continues to pester you and the final showdown is where he's captured Zoe and you're going to defeat him by, how else? Your fists! Aided by a suped-up Power Glove. Didn't know Nintendo developed anti-material fighting gloves, but there you go!

Regardless, it was a lot of fun, though the boss was annoying in that due to his regeneration you can't keep your distance. You have to keep beating the snot out of him faster than he can regenerate so all my usual combat tactics didn't work until I decided to do that, wailing on him like a man possessed! Was still a hell of a lot of fun though!

Edit: Something I forgot to note, despite being DLC you have to pay for, it is shorter than the previous one and still had a lot of fun content tied to it like I said. Including picking up boxing effigies to increase your punching by a percentage.
