To say the Dothack community was excited when a fourth game was included with Last Recode would be an understatement. However the reaction to playing it was a bit more divisive among fans then I expected. Many people criticize Reconnection for not having enough substance and being too short in general, but I'd argue that the "lack of content" is one of its strongest features. While Volume 1-3 are bloated with added content to pluck hours away at, Volume 4 is pure delight. Volume 4 is all quality with no mid to be found. In a way this is a natural progression of Volume 3, as I found Volume 3 to be the least bloated and also the most well paced of the original, so the length of Reconnection isn't exactly a shocker. Aside from the all killer no filler appeal of Volume 4, you also get access to the coolest weapon type, some great new cutscenes, and all the loose ends from Volume 3 are finally tied up. The question is, what's the next step in the Dothack franchise?
