This review contains spoilers
wow wasnt expecting this one to be universally disliked
in terms of story and gameplay its a big step up. the focus on the gang war and yuri is a lot more interesting to me than the anctics of black cat, though the ending had another fakeout death lol. i remember it was cool when i played it back around launch, but now it just seems like it's jingling keys in your face, being like ""go buy silver lining!! see what happens next!"
just looked it up, the pass was 25 or 10 dollars for each individually. i wouldnt say theyre worth it for 25 dollars, but theyre pretty good.
anyway i love the focus on yuri and the rainy city atmosphere of it all. this game gets away with a lot of super tense moments for a t rating and i think this is where that peaks. it was super tense seeing yuri pull the trigger on hammerhead... only for it to be retconned a minute later.
the enemy introduced last chapter was used a lot more here, and the side content was actually pretty cool. i willingly did a few hammerhead bases. which are actually the most difficult this replay has been and killed me a few times. the cement mixer fight was awesome, i loved the added stress of the time management to it.
as for the hammerhead boss itself, i said in my base game review that the bosses were the game's biggest weakness. however the hammerhead boss was probably the best one. the added goons that back him up actually make building focus for finishers on him fun, and add a bit of extra challenge. i said the bosses didn't play to the combat loop's best strength's, but in this boss fight they do. crowd control is where this game's combat shines and this boss has that. only other boss this good was martin li. i read a miles review earlier today and it said the bosses were greatly improved upon there, too. we shall see.
wanted to say that the cast is still killing it, they're all great. the calls with miles about spider training were funny. oh and i never realized its laura bailey who voices mj. so much persona cast overlap. oh and keith silverstein voices hammerhead my beloved. man idk how i got so good with IDing dub vas lol.
fantastic dlc, wonder how the silver lining replay will end up.
