The Riftbreaker: Into The Dark

If you like Riftbreaker this is more of that! One complaint is there are lots of tech unlocks that are not needed in the game. For example, the shield generator system is cool but way too complex and resource dependent for what it does. In other words you can beat the game with 10% of the toys. If would be nice if they created maps (in the sequel) that forced you to use most the tech unlocks.

what a great expansion. it integrates seamlessly into the core game, but offers something completely new. a real and rather dense story and a whole new underground area to explore, which looks absolutely stunning! the new buildings / weapons.. well, you don´t need them in terms of "without them you can´t play the game" but they are all a nice addition to the arsenal and let´s you experiment with a different playstyle. imho, it´s well worth the full price of 10€.

The Riftbreaker is (was?) my favourite game of all time, with just under 300 hours recorded on it. However, with this last addon - which I gladly paid full price for! - I can't get through the VERY FIRST core game level without it freezing (NOT slowing, FREEZING!) into a total lock-up. This was with the latest June 7th (2023) patch (with both addons, custom in-game difficulty, and a few in-game downloaded mods). (However, even with the above, I'm still going to buy all upcoming addons - I just might have to wait till I get a new computer before playing them!)

If the content is unquestionably extra of the core game and adds (at the very least) another 40% worth of the core game's content to it, depending on the price, that's fine, I like supporting and investing in promising projects, but actual mechanics present in this DLC belong in the core game and to every player regardless whether they paid for the DLC or not, it's a DLC, not DLM, this is a step out of line.
