The fifth one is here and ready for you…
Please note that this Review may contain spoilers from the Base game
Some key points that this Edition has to offer:
- New Tomb
- New Outfit
- New Skill
- New Weapon
- New Achievements/ Trophies
- Co-Op Play
Replayability:
This Tomb can be completed within the main story campaign. However, we can also replay them in “Challenge Tombs”.
Just like the original tombs, this tomb can be replayed in all three of the game modes that are available. Score Attack, Time Attack and Exploration.
MGR Gaming’s Conclusions:
Once again, aid the rebels; this time you need to infiltrate the enemy fortress and stage a prison break. Once done the Slayer’s Gauntlet awaits you and at the end of it, lies the power of the serpent god.
The Speed runners run… The majority of this Tomb is played against time; There are sinking platforms with piranhas in the water… Your raft is constantly floating through trapped waters where you have to carefully navigate yourself through while performing quick shots to proceed further into the tomb.
All in all, a rather fun fast paced action sequence…, this is also where the biggest issue lies. You can pretty much clock this DLC within 20-25 minutes, and that just isn’t any fun! There are some combat scenes present as well where you go up against Trinity, but that doesn’t make up for the rather over before you know it tomb.
Just like previous Tombs, you will acquire a new skill as you progress through the tomb. This time you are gifted with the Divine Bounty Skill, which allows you to loot more gold coins from fallen enemies. Once you completed the mission you will be rewarded with the Dragon Scales outfit, which reduces fire damage, prevents stumbling, and accelerates health regeneration. Last but not least, The Serpent Lash bow, which deals out extra fire damage.
If you own the Season Pass then this DLC is available to you for free, however it can be bought separately as well.
This DLC was quite a fun experience, for sure. The quick time actions really upped the pace and made it very entertaining. The short duration of the tomb is rather disappointing though.
