Those first few runs up the tower were magical. With every challenge passed and another color chip added, I could feel the tension rise as I neared that top floor. Side Order is excellent at this risk-vs-reward type of gameplay, and it really has room to shine depending on how much you're willing to put into it. For me however, I found myself counting down how many more runs I'd have to do before I could finally put this DLC down. While multiple runs are encouraged, I feel that more variety could have been implemented into the enemies/levels to necessitate such an order (heh, pun). While I think I enjoy Octo Expansion and Return of the Mammalians more as single-player campaigns, this is still pretty good and worth the price for the neat bonuses alone!
