Remember the fun you had punching Molded in Not a Hero? Well here is more of that!
I swear it's so satisfying to pummel foes with Joe Baker's fists of destruction. The combat is not deep but that's a good thing since it's deep enough to not overstay it's welcome in this short epilogue that concludes the Baker family story.
Speaking of which, the story here actually had some reveals that I didn't see coming. While the reveal about Jack didn't really make too much sense since I thought he was "cured", I guess I misinterpreted truly how the mold works because maybe since Eveline is gone, Jack is motivated by a twisted sense to protect Zoe because he thinks Joe is a threat? It's not too bad but I wish it was explained a bit more.
The reveal at the end though where Ethan never forgot about Zoe was great and it's probably his best moment with his character (since he is quite whatever in 7 and bad in Village). With that in mind, it's funny how this epilogue makes the "bad" ending sorta pointless because this continues on the timeline where Ethan chooses Zoe. Despite all the help the Baker daughter gave to Ethan, him choosing his wife and coping with the pain of having no choice to begin with (instead of the player choosing) would feel more impactful in my opinion, and this DLC to follow through on that would have made me like this protagonist somewhat.
Despite it's flaws, this is a well rounded DLC that is best to get alongside the base game in the gold edition which is pretty much now at a cheap price.
(P.S. those infected gators really spooked me)
