The Rising Tide is a decent enough DLC, though it suffers from many of the issues that plagued the FFXVI base game.
Having two more sets of Eikon abilities helps ease the repetitiveness of the base game's combat and the DLC's story, while short, does wrap up a few of the loose ends while also tying in nicely with Echoes of the Fallen. Finally getting to fight Tonberries in this game was also very fun.
Side quests are still as bland and tedious as ever, unfortunately, While the DLC's difficulty is stepped up just like EotT, a welcome change from the breeze that was the main game, the final boss can be frustrating and even borders on unfair with one of its mechanics in particular.
It's also very disappointing that completing the DLC has no impact whatsoever on the base game's ending, given how it vastly changes the situation surrounding the ending. Feels like a huge missed opportunity.

This felt a lot like a one-off Batman: The Animated Series episode in a good way. It's short, an issue that plagues every Arkham series DLC, but provides a fun pre-Arkham Asylum mini-adventure with Barbara and Tim - who don't get nearly enough screen time across the trilogy.
While its somewhat messy plot and overreliance on the Batmobile stop it from reaching the heights of Arkham City, Arkham Knight remains a very fun and visually stunning game nearly a decade on from its release.
