Hard to review this as my playthrough was split across multiple years lol.
Glad I came back to this one, it was surprisingly easy to pick up the game again and tackle some of the hardest challenges it has to offer.

Where it Shines:
Light and Fun - 6/10
Minigames - 8/10
Free - 10/10

The Good:
For a free DLC, this is nothing to complain about. It adds some nice fun minigame type areas, doesn't take itself seriously, and is a nice bonus for fans who loved the original.

The Bad:
There are some obnoxious areas, the music is surprisingly lazy compared to all of Brown's other work, and the whole DLC feels a bit thin and tacked on.

Summary:
It's really only worth playing if you really love the original, and it's free and only takes a few hours at most, so why not?

Note on my ratings:
Treat my stars like Michelin Stars - just having one means the game is worth playing in some way.
half ⭐: hot trash garbage, since you can't do zero stars here
⭐: below average, needs work
⭐⭐: average
⭐⭐⭐: pretty good
⭐⭐⭐⭐: excellent
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: all time favourite

I'm glad I didn't pay money for this. For the value, it is great.

The ending of the original felt abrupt despite coming at a good point in the overall journey, so with some slightly harder challenges and a proper, albeit comedic final boss, this feels essential to the Messenger experience,

DLC de graça e sempre bem vinda porem acho que ela tem uma dificuldade destoante do jogo base, admito ter passado mais raiva doque me divertido, diferente do jogo base.
