I really liked this mode. Not only does it ramp up the difficulty but also gives us a boss fight that actually feels like a boss fight. It also gives us a Spark hunter who could easily be the main antagonist for the next game given what's she's done throughout this mode. Some things I didn't like though were how some of the tracks from Pristine peaks were reused, lack of new enemy types, confusing overworld, and the fact that its separate from the base game so what ever you have in it, will not be transferred to your save file.
