As much as I enjoyed the base game, I'm having a really difficult time justifying a positive review for the DLC. I mainly picked it up to finally get the remaining achievements (which is in itself something I really dislike. In my opinion, you should be able to 100% the base game without having to buy extras) and the DLC suffers even more from some of the main criticism I had for the base game:
Some characters are very obviously not relevant to the story whatsoever. Once again, Omen and Alkar get shoved to the side and even Ezra barely appears this time.
Admittedly, it's been some time since I played the base game, but Finn and August also didn't act like I would expect them to and the humor didn't work for me.
It also felt like your romance choice didn't really matter and barely changed anything aside from who you talk to at the end. (And even the romance-end-scene had the same dialogue for everyone.) For example: Finn is clearly terrified in the beginning and for some reason your character just thinks it's funny and a bit annoying. There isn't even a trace of worry or an attempt to console him, even as his spouse.
Lastly, the DLC is really, really short and laggy. It felt like once the main plot point started, it was instantly over. I'm willing to pass over this since we got really great additional mini-stories for free in the base game, though.
To end on a more positive note:
I really liked the character of the ghost and wished we could have spent more time with her.
I also really liked the reflectiveness of the end scene. It was a fitting final sentiment to end the story of the game on.
Overall, it's not terrible, but I also didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. If possible, I'd probably give this a neutral rating, but I'm leaning more on the negative side.
