slightly better than the previous 2 DLCs, it has good additions ranging to an more open-ended structure and the addition of the grappling hook which makes exploration and navigation more fun.

Ignis is pretty fun to play although his moveset is pretty cinematic when compared to the previous characters, just switch your elemental daggers and mash the attack button until enemies are dead, there is no interesting mechanics or depth to him. it's better than Prompto but not that much, Gladio still has my favorite moveset alongside Noctis.

the storyline does wonders for Ignis's character though, his sacrifice near the end was beautiful and helps understand some of the base game's plot holes, Ravus getting some screen time is also good, some of the strongest moments of storytelling that this game had seen are in this DLC. the soundtrack and presentation are also really good.

overall an decent hour of playthrough, I think it's essential if you want more of this game's storyline and wants some answers, the idea of an alternate ending is also pretty neat.
