I feel like this DLC is just hard for no reason. I have more than 800h of gameplay among the base game, Reign of Giants and Shipwrecked, so it's safe to say I like how hard the game can get and how rewarding it is to finally be able to master surviving in it. Shipwrecked was harder and very different from RoG, and required great adaptation, but it was fun to learn. This is not the same. Although pretty, the capitalistic environment is oppressive as well as unrewarding, the dungeon system is annoying, the Aporkalypse is a bitch and there's no way you can prepare for it without at least 30 minutes on Youtube - and you have to start on day 1, otherwise you're just permanently fucked as it never goes away. It doesn't feel challenging, it's just unbalanced. As a big fan of Don't Starve, in my humble opinion it's not worth it.
