This is a big step up in quality from sunken king, but is still full of some glaring issues. The 2 biggest compliments I can give this pack is that Brume tower is one of the best areas in any fromsoft game period, and that all 3 of the bosses (yes including BSD) are all well-made and at the very least fun to actually fight. What is NOT fun in this dlc is that 2 of those 3 bosses have some of the worst runbacks I've ever seen in a game (BMS being so bad that the fact the boss is also a reskin of a great boss in the main game harms its enjoyability factor tenfold). This DLC does a lot of things right, but the run backs that this pack created just hurts so much of its replay value it's insane. Still absolutely essential to anyone's DS2 run though, as at least 4 of the 6 hours this pack will take you to beat are some of the best 4 hours you can have in a souls game
