This game is underrated, let me explain why.
First there's the little extras you get, fifteen year old me was so happy spending 7.99, getting a little open world vampire game (about 4 hours long + infinite user-generated missions), system themes and PlayStation Home content, that's just a good deal.
But moreover, we just don't get things like this anymore. Compare this to inFamous: First Light, a game that locks you into only one of the four ability types from the base game (Second Son), and only a chunk of the map, with a campaign that's about the same length as this game, and it costs almost double the price that this does (14.99). This game, on the other hand, not only adds a really unique twist to the style and genre of the series, but also adds legitimately interesting and different gameplay mechanics (finding hidden vampires, hidden text, the ability of powered flight), as well as interesting new enemies and combat mechanics (some enemies only dying when being staked, shadow swarm etc). It also gets rid of the Karma system which always felt a bit like baggage on the series anyway so take from that what you will.
This isn't just a good DLC this is a good standalone product by itself, unlike things like First Light.
