While the previous expansion was highly praised for it's size and variety Plus unfortunately adds a smattering of content that is largely underwhelming and even undermines some of the content added by Afterbirth.

The new enemies, items, and challenges extend the content a bit but far less than the previous expansion, and the victory lap and HUD features feel overdue but welcome. That's the good news. The bad news is the new characters add very little, the new difficulty for Greed Mode turns it into a chore, the new floor is little more than a reskin with bosses in every room, and the new boss fights are very underwhelming albeit each for different reasons. The dev tools are there but only really matter to the die hard community members.

All in all this is a pretty lacklustre addition to the game which takes more substance than it adds. It feels like lazy padding which has gone on to be shown up by the player made Antibirth expansion which wipes the floor with Plus with sheer creativity.
