The gift that keeps on giving...
This is more of a review for 2.0 than the actual DLC, but seeing as it's required to play the DLC I think it's fair to treat it as a feature. While CP77 was far from perfect before, it had a pretty addicting gameplay loop, complimented by an engaging class building system and a decent difficulty curve. The only catch was that is was somewhat limiting with it's potential, with a tendency to push players towards either a Hacker God, Ninja Master or Bullet Sponge build with little synergy or room to maneuver between them. However, nobody who stuck with CP77 long enough to properly engage with these systems saw that as a major flaw, so it baffles me that CDPR saw fit not only to revamp these systems, but to simplify, homogenize and flat out nerf them in order to appeal to a broader range of playstyles. They succeeded, you're no longer limited to a handful of god-like builds, instead you now have a wide range of mediocre builds, none of which are that fun to play. This is the type of thing I would expect them to do in the first post-release update to try and stop the reviews from tanking, not years after the game's release after people have learned to appreciate the game for what it is, 2.0 was a massive middle finger to those people. The DLC is about on par with other similar expansion-type DLC, by which I mean the kind you would see in Fallout 4, it doesn't hold a candle to The Witcher 3's expansions.
