I guess the writing better implements pre-existing characters in ways that make more narrative sense but otherwise, this isn't a whole lot better than the base game. In fact, with the amount of reused areas, it's sort of a lot of the same. Echo Six are less edgy than Wolfpack, which certainly makes them more tolerable, but they're not any more interesting and the game does lose some of its luster when you're not playing as the villains. If you liked ORC, this will probably be up your alley, but it has the exact same flaws as the base game.
