Echoes of Sekigahara = 10/10 (Spoilers)
I wasn't sure how the DLC would stack up against the main game, but honestly, I think it's every bit as good, if not better.
Watching the Ashoro Foothills transform from a glorified foggy swamp into a beautiful, lush landscape after breaking the Viper's hold on the region was incredible. Between the new weapon types and skills, the side quests, Atsu's writing, and that unforgettable finale where bears and wolves fight alongside you (helping animals the whole time pays off), there's just so much to love. Most Wanted mode is another fantastic addition that gives you even more reason to keep playing.
More importantly, I think this DLC is absolutely vital to understanding Atsu as a character. It adds so much depth to her story and gives us a better understanding of who she is beyond her quest for vengeance. I genuinely didn't expect Nagato to die, either. Atsu had already been through so much, and seeing her suffer yet another loss was heartbreaking. It doesn't feel like some optional side adventure. It feels like an essential part of her journey.
Sucker Punch could have easily charged $30 for this and I wouldn't have complained. I could go on and on about how much I loved it.
Absolutely phenomenal. Enjoy these screenshots I captured on PS5 Pro!
