(I played this on PS4, but that's not an option in Backloggd.)

Kudos to the designers for finding more interesting puzzles with the same mechanics as the main game, but I think a DLC of this size justifies having genuinely new mechanics, and (like the original game) there are more puzzles here than necessary. By the end, I felt less clever, and more annoyed at the amount of fiddle necessary. I also had no interest in getting any of the stars, given how hard many of them are just to locate, and so I was annoyed that the game seems to lock the best ending behind them.

That being said, the story being told in Gehenna is genuinely more interesting, and the core mechanics are well-designed enough (and still unique 6 years after the fact) that I mostly had a good time.
