Nothing to go out of your way for
I thought I'd add an actual review to clarify the low score this add-on has gotten to the uninformed observer, and describe the contents in greater detail. The artwork's nice, though as it's mostly pixel art it's comparatively low-res. You might be able to make an avatar from them or something? The promotional art is essentially fanart, though it's quite nice and from artists you may recognise (such as the artist behind Darkest Dungeon). The .gifs are interesting to have if you want a closer look at the enemy designs in motion, though it's nowhere near all of them, or even the most interesting enemies. Overall, if you've bought an older game on here and gotten a .zip file of concept art, that's pretty much what you're getting here, just for an extra £2 instead of free, which is where I think a lot of the (not unwarranted) negativity stems from. The "Behind the Scenes" documentary is nice, and quite informative. It's also a slightly longer (12 minutes as opposed to 7) version of the one available for free on the developers' Youtube page, with one of the lead developer's brief anecdotes put back in. Make of that what you will. If you've got your heart set on what I've just described then by all means buy it. As for the rest of us the most value this add-on really has is that on GOG buying a whole bundle in a sale often increases the overall discount, so buying the whole bundle may end up negating the cost of these extras and slightly reducing the cost of the game itself. On its own, though, you can safely skip this.
