It's been about 6 years since I played the base game of Shadow Tactics, but Aiko's Choice served as a nice reminder of why I rated that game so highly. Nothing has really changed between games from what I recall, as this is essentially just a short, standalone mission pack with some additional story that didn't amount to much (especially given the time gap for me), but it did tug on my heartstrings a little bit from what I could remember about the original, and it gets me a little eager to replay it.
Not a bad way to spend a handful of dollars & hours, but it is on the shorter side and takes place late into the story of the original game, which makes it a strange choice as a standalone product.

I haven't played the base game, but this stand alone DLC was very entertaining. Yes, it's only 5 missions (3 big and 2 short) but it was very enjoyable (and also frustrating... it's difficult), and taking into account that each missions will take probably 2 hours to complete , it was a good game. I like the stealth element of the gameplay.
