'Because the devs said so' fix controller aim assist. The Ancient Gods feels like certainly a step, TAG keeps telling the player how youre supposed to play a game that spent its entire base campaign teaching you that the fun was figuring out how you wanted to play Eternal could be simply summed up as; "Heres a sandbox, go nuts" The game slowly builds a diverse arsenal of useful weapons and modifications in your toolbox. some tools are better than others for certain tasks, but theres usually a couple options to each problem to fit your playstyle. It was lovely. It was lost. TAG 1 (the name of the dlc) looked at that design, and said "Heres a sandbox, but you need to use this shovel and only this shovel. all your other shovels, the trowel.. all intangible." On paper, a situation that requires a single weapon and or mod, is kind of restricting at best. the sheer amount of situations that require you to be constantly switching weapons and or mods, just borders on a level of overwhelming instead of engaging in a fun way.

Replayed it after 4 yrs, I forgot how hard this DLC was. It is like a playable metal album cover.

This DLC is totally worth getting if you REALLY wanna be pushed to play this game well. It's incredibly difficult, especially on the higher difficulties. The encounters and hordes of enemies are super tricky. I died many times during the second to last battle of the second stage. It's a really tricky one. The more compact, smaller arenas really force you to refine your movement and spatial awareness, your movement's gotta be locked in to not get railed.

Really good DLC, I don't get where the hate comes from
