Atomic Heart: Enchantment Under the Sea Review (Zerk)

Great DLC from start to finish, and for $10 it's honestly worth the price if you enjoy the world and story of Atomic Heart. Though is is a bit short (~4-5ish hours on normal difficulty, with fully exploring everything), I think it hits every beat needed to really stand out as another solid entry to the game.
Story wise it was very interesting, getting to learn more about the facilities and experiments is great (and one of my personal favorite aspects of the game in general).
New weapons/abilities are fun, unique, and look badass as ever. I especially enjoyed the new grapple ability, was very enjoyable swinging around, dodging attacks. I must admit I did not use the blaze ability as much as I probably should have, but when I did, it was also quite fun.
Locations and world are amazing, this DLC clearly had some inspiration from Bioshock, and that is not a bad thing by any means. The locations looked great, felt fun to explore, and kept the much loved wacky environmental storytelling you'd expect from Mundfish.
New enemies and bosses were challenging, but not so difficult you feel like breaking a keyboard, and anyone familiar with this game or others with similar combat could easily finish the DLC in one sitting without ragequitting.
Last but not least, the music was amazing as always, though that is to be expected. Mundfish always knocks it out of the park with their sound design, and this DLC was no exception.
TLDR:
Overall DLC #3 was fun, challenging, and a hell of a great ride from start to finish, and I greatly look forward to what Mundfish has in store for us going forward.
