Generally, I would say the add-on is fine: a new mastery, new areas, loot and constellations, quality-of-life improvements, and the like. I find the new desert environment a welcome change from the general style of Grim Dawn. My biggest gripe would be the bosses, though, since they largely follow the same annoying formula: relatively small area, added area denial (via impassable or damaging elements) and tons of AoE. This combo gets really old really fast.
