Playtime: 1 Hour
Score: 7/10
A good but very short DLC that is free so thats a good thing. The story takes place after the main campaign and is a little bit of a follow up from it. I thought the new area was cool and you get tons of new weapons and armor to loot. Like I said, its a free add on so its nice quick adventure to play through after you finish the main campaign.

Playing Bright Fir Forest after finishing Tails of Iron gave me a feeling of peaceful goodbye, as I was able to enjoy the series a little more, perhaps for one last time. I was not aware of the release of a new DLC, so it was a pleasant surprise to open the game and see that I could enjoy this masterpiece once more.
The Grub Buster, the Stalker Queen, and the Croakhis Khan were great boss additions to the game. I felt they were supposed to be there from the start. We defeated Green Wart, the warchief of the United Frog Tribes. Shouldn't we also defeat their king after all?
It is a shame that the missions leading up to the fight against the frog king were not as connected to the main story. There was no strong connection between the disappearance of the bards and the boss fight. It would have made a lot more sense if we have faced Croakhis Khan instead of Shield Maiden Yellow Tongue! Instead, one of the most important fights was preceded by a series of filler missions that were of very little relevance.
Finally, the Bright Fir Forest was quite interesting, but it was not that elaborated. Instead of squirrels just appearing out of nowhere, their story could be connected to some other relevant event, maybe the disappearance of the bards. I see different ways to connect their disappearance with the false friendship premise from the squirrel's kingdom. Talking about the strange relation between frogs and squirrels, the final confrontation was also missing. Why didn't Redgi question the Squirrel Elder about his involvement with the frogs?
In a nutshell, it was a delightful DLC, especially considering it was free. However, it could have been way better with a few small changes to the story.
