The base game somehow managed to have a plot that is both extremely simple and extremely convoluted (thank you Nomura) but still it was amazing and the combat system is legit one of the best I've ever seen in an ARPG, then the DLC come, they are extremely fillery, extremely grindy and the bosses, while some are nice, are the definition of artificial difficulty (especially in the final DLC) and I really did not enjoy them, thank Team Ninja for giving us the extra mode
