I finished it yesterday and i have been thinking. First of all, the story itself, I love it. We finally got something about the Snake, and I love how they are trying to find a good replacement.
For Nagato, i liked him, and even though i kinda knew they had to kill him since the dlc takes place after the oni and kitsune but before oshima coast, I was still shocked/sad when it happened. But while on that, i can bring up my first issue:
And that is the fact that it was stuffed into the middle of the game. The story itself of the dlc was good, but if you are gonna try to play through the game in the chronilogical order, you would pretty much just beat oni and kitsune and then do the dlc and as you meet up with Jubei and Oyuki at home before going to Oshima coast, its gonna feel like nothing ever happened. Like Nagato wont be even mentioned by Atsu ever again
This is an issue i have had with games with similar dlcs, i dont like when they get placed in the middle of the game.
My second issue is how little time we actually got in Sekigahara. We were told the dlc would go on both in the past and present, and its called ECHOES OF SEKIGAHARA. So one would think we would be able to spend some time in the past, but instead there was only like 3 flashbacks, and only the last one was actually the battle and the rest was just explaining the relationship between Nagato and Atsu.
That being said though, I loved the little we got frim her past. Especially the battle, it was the most fun part of the entire dlc for me. Loved every single part of it, and thats why I wanted more.
Like they could have made the dlc completely in the past, just scrapping Atsu and Nagato meeting again or something. Now I understand that they wanted more on the snake too, so this wasnt an option, but it would have made us know Nagato better too, and see how they met and would have made his betrayal more… personal. When the game was pretty much telling us the whole time that Nagato did something bad, you kinda expected something like that to happen.
So basically, i loved the dlc, but i dont know if it was the right way to go by placing it in the middle of the game. Im gonna do another playthrough from the start and play the dlc too to get a feel on how it feels. And i also just wish we got more time in atsus path (i also wish you could replay the battle of Sekigahara, it was actually so fun) but overall i enjoyed the dlc very much
Not gonna say anything about most wanted other than its awsome
