I didn't vibe too much with the base game of Ion Fury, it felt like an overly drawn out game that was lacking in variety and had a really underwhelming final level. This expansion fixes all of that.

Levels are still sprawling, filled to the brim with secrets, but the game doesn't draw out for long. There's more enemy types and the designers are way less afraid to throw tougher encounters at you that aren't just spammy. To add on to this, we have the hover bike sections which are really fun. I was disappointed when it turned out that only the first one is like an arcade driving game, where you have a timer and have to avoid obstacles, but even just using it as a regular vehicle in normal levels was cool.

Had a great time with this, they designed a way better paced campaign with this and the final boss even is an actual enemy. I'm still not the fondest of the characters and all, but the game itself finally clicked for me when I gave this DLC a go, great fun.
