I just finished this DLC.
Welcome back to NY... the enemy types are different then the first game. Especially the rikers. The flow of the story is decent. You’re on a manhunt for Keener and have to kill his lieutenants to discover his where shouts.
The structure is fairly repetitive. Most are go here, find this, unlock region safe house, complete mission, kill target, repeat. The boss fights annoyed me with the mechanics but as long as you’re in a group, it isn’t to bad.
The gear score has been dropped in favour of a SHD level you get at the completion of the DLC. It adds buffs to specific stats of your choice in def, off, skill and such as you gain exp. I kinda miss the caches but this is ok IMO.
All in all, pretty cool expansion. It was nice to go back to NY, but I was glad to get back to DC at the end of it all.
