    I played through it yesterday. It was wacky and fun, but a little uneven and definitely super short. I finished all the episodes in about 3 hours. Fun but definitely only for people who really enjoy when Remedy gets really weird.

      I found them giving me so much ammo and throwing so many enemies at me extremely frustrating considering I really enjoyed the slower paced combat and the ammo conservation of the base game.

        That's fair. Once I realized they were giving you a ton of ammo I had fun and leaned into it. I was the opposite and enjoyed not having to worry about conserving ammo. Rose and an auto-shotgun were a blast. But combat was pretty pointless at that point. Outside of the werewolf fight they were all pretty generic.

        Haven’t played AW2 yet, but this reminds me of the first game’s DLCs. I distinctly remember the first game having serviceable-but-not-great combat, which the DLC promptly doubled down on to such a degree it became obnoxiously annoying. Shame to hear they might be repeating that mistake.

        Honestly, I can’t think of hardly any game series which has managed to pace DLCs well. Remedy has the issue in both AW1 and Control from what I’ve seen, but they’re hardly alone. Most games end up feeling too fast.
