Even if very slightly, I'd say I liked this expansion more than the base game.
Some lessons were learned, and the overall pacing of the game felt far better. Admittedly, there is a bad final boss and also this expansion's equivalent of Blast Pit, but there were no levels which felt as annoying as On A Rail or the Xen ones.
The expansion leaning more into the shooter aspect, adding more weapons and enemies, while removing a lot of puzzles in comparison to the base game and Blue Shift is also worth mentioning, and I was a big fan of that.
The story and atmosphere didn't quite feel as gripping than the original, but were well-done, and it was nice to experience this story from another point of view.
