I really wasn't expecting much form this since I'm not the biggest Claptrap fan, but Claptastic Voyage was surprisingly great. The setting of the DLC is one my highlights, nearly every map has a consistent theme with all the glitchy elements, but majority of the maps add enough in to feel different from one another.

I was shocked by just how good the story is, it makes me genuinely feel for Claptrap who before this i really just thought he was kind of fine. I never really hated him, but i didn't love him either. This DLC sees you go though several levels of Claptrap's subconscious, as you try to find a piece of Hyperion tech. Along the way you learn more about Claptrap and why he is the way he is. I really dug this story and it's a real shame that this was the one and only story DLC for The Pre-Sequel.

Gameplay wise not a whole lot changes it's still classic Pre-Sequel/Borderlands 2 game play. A lot of new enemies are introduced, even if most of them are just re-skins of older enemies it still feels pretty sweet to have a bunch enemies unique to the DLC. The bosses included are pretty great especially the last fight which has a bunch of phases that are all pretty different from one another.

This was one of the few Borderlands DLC/games i had never played before doing this massive retrospective type thing, and i'm absolutely stoked there was still some good stuff to experience.
