Found this one way more interesting and engaging than the main game.
It's got a stronger alt-history premise and introduces new mechanics that actually switch up gameplay. The player is given gameplay options that are actually dramatic, unlike the main game where you miss out on nothing when ignoring like 90% of your tools. Additionally the pacing is vastly improved and doesn't slog nearly as much, all characters feel a bit more focused and mostly everyone has more meaningful things to do.
Unfortunately, just like the main game Conor has no chance to show a shred of personality and generally continues just being this dumb good guy character with middle-school level philosophy, just as we see in the main missions of the main game. It is boggling how they created such a layered character only to dumb him down in every main piece of content.
I find it puzzling this dlc is looked back on so negatively when it offers some legitimately interesting switch ups from the absolute monotony of the main game. It's solid!
