Another fun DLC collection with some mixed strengths and weaknesses. Puzzle wise, this one is probably the most consistent of all the DLC cases, each scenario left me stuck for a good while, but the "A-ha!" moments are up there with the best parts of the base game, and there wasn't any particularly weak case at the start or in the middle. Story wise though I do think it's a bit of a let down from the last two DLC's. Seeing ancient Lemuria for the first time is genuinely cool, but the characters and my connections to them felt weaker than the last two cases, especially compared to Sins of New Wells. All that said, I can't see any reason for someone who's gotten this far into the game to not buy this case, especially since basically everyone reading this already has the season pass.

Had picked up the complete game w/ DLC as part of the initial release.
Another great story told in this DLC. If you liked the main game and previous DLC, you'll likely enjoy this one too.
I did have more trouble with some of the later items. As is getting common with the later DLC, there's a lot of sentences that have almost the same number of missing words as present words. A couple blanks I needed to brute force, and a handful of blanks towards the end I just looked up. (I'm old enough that I'd rather enjoy playing a game than suffer just to say I figured it out.)
They did all make sense in hindsight, and I finally fell for a red herring in the last (4th) full scene.
The last puzzle, as is usual for the series, tied everything together really nicely. It has been a while since I played the last DLC, so my memory was a little fuzzy on how this one ties in specifically, and the corresponding actions that were taken, but I remember enough that things clicked a bit. (Also made me reevaluate some assumptions I had made on the time between certain events and people.)
Recommended.

A little weak compared to the other DLCs. Fails to form a compelling narrative from its limited amount of scenarios like Sins of New Wells or Lemurian Phoenix did. I felt a lot of suspense heading into Unraveling and Blaze of Glory, but for the final scenario in this DLC I felt a little cold-hearted piecing it together with no real care of any of the characters or the world they inhabit. The scenarios themselves are weaker as well. I was genuinely stumped at times in the other DLCs, but I felt no particular struggle here. There are also a few strange aesthetic decisions, like not having unique end screens for most of the scenarios, that made the DLC feel a little less quality than the others. The reason I still recommend it is because I very strongly like the base game and the other two DLCs, and you can buy them all together, and because I still have high hopes for the final DLC.
