i sure am glad a triple A game studio leaves the game in worse of a mess then the indie company did for the first dlc, do not spend the money on this until this has been massively overhauled, since the game is fps based now.

edit - now that a month has passed since launch and I've played enough to have experienced most of the content, I can safely say that the expansion even if it released in the current state that it did was a waste of money, for every good item there are 3 bad items, both elites are poorly designed, one just making looping downright unplayable, as you just "get it twisted" and lose after a ukulele you picked up stage 2 procs on a twisted enemy chaining onto a malachite enemy and instant killing you and your run, none of the enemies are fun to fight against whatsoever, and the boss fight itself for the entire expansion is so poorly designed you either need to have 2 strides of heresy or burst him within seconds to enjoy a victory against him, lest you wish to get one shot through OSP and a potion, I planned to get all of the skins and logs but I don't think I can bring myself to 100% my logbook after this expansion, not to mention the characters released for this are all over tuned or unusable, with false son just being able to turn hp items into free stats and go crazy fast, not to mention he looks like an unfinished mod character, seeker just outright being able to revive up to 3 players per stage, nullifying an entire red tier item (and I suppose equipment now) while being able to heal herself AND others and outright fly, while chefs base numbers are so poor he just doesn't feel like a playable character, but more as the but of a bad joke, while his boomerang primary mechanic was interesting, it is not good enough to barely one shot the smaller creatures while only having 3 charges at a time, while having to be on top of anything to "Combo" and do slight damage that a false soon or a railgunner could accidentally sneeze out, the only saving grace for this expansion was the level design for the most part (alt stage 5 and new stage 3 horrendous) and the music, making the whole awful grind somewhat bearable

having 1k hours on console, for anyone still playing this game I hope you get the help you need.

I cannot really recommend the full game anymore to anyone else looking to play it, as gearbox ruins anything they touch (look back to the disaster of the expansion: "Oh crap the god awful movie we made that was an obvious flop flopped, release the unfinished DLC" and full on ruined the base game for a few weeks, if you want to play anything in this series, go play Risk of rain Returns, and only time will tell if Gearbox will somehow manage to mess up base game again since they somehow already managed to so so on the first patch they released owning the franchise
