Calling the Teal Mask half-baked is probably too kind. It's basically still raw.

The performance issues from the base games feel significantly worse here — probably because the region is incredibly bland, just a mish-mash of standard series biomes that feels like a procedurally generated iteration on the base game's region. There's not even a real logic to where the new pokemon show up, nor are there any interesting locations or areas. Add to that that the entire DLC (not just the story, but fully exploring the region, completing the new pokedex, etc.) takes, generously, about six hours to finish, and even as someone who loved Scarlet and Violet despite their flaws, I think they'd have been better off just not releasing anything at all.

Dipplin is cute though. I will give them that.
