I honestly The silly little DLC's, such as the "pixel pack" that came with the game since I pre-ordered it, are kind've dumb and pointless. I honestly didn't even know that would come with my copy of the game, but I couldn't really care less that it did, and it didn't do anything to enhance the gameplay experience.



The amount of missions and activities that come with the game, without the purchase of DLC, are more than adequate, which is a relief. I was glad Ubisoft didn't gate off core features of the game and hold them for ransom. You're actually getting a full gameplay experience with the purchase of this title alone. It's got a really fun combat system, though I do wish it was just a little more challenging.



The game comes with approximately 40+ main missions, with another extra 40 challenges, and then there's the co-op missions, which are also fun, but there's not point in having another friend to do them with you since it's essentially just passing control back and forth between players, and you're not doing anything simultaneously, which is a little disappointing. In all, there's around 60 hours worth of content if you do all of the missions and challenges and co-op missions, in case the amount of content is important to anybody. Though I'd say only around 35 hours worth of that content is doing the truly enjoyable stuff combat related stuff, the other 25 is spent walking around the worlds, which is oftentimes amusing, and the puzzles are fairly okay. While exploring the worlds is amusing, I do wish it had been cut down significantly, since it really doesn't add a whole lot to the experience, and sometimes it's just downright tedious.



My only other complaint would be the little robot thing that guides you throughout your journey. I find it distracting, and I don't find it particularly funny or cute, aside from an occasionally clever line here and there.



Those fairly minor complaints don't detract from the fact that this game contains an incredibly fun and inventive combat system, and it does contain quite a bit of personality and humor. And there's also a sequence that contains what is possibly my second favorite opera singing boss fight of all time (Conker's Bad Fur Day contains the first) … Expand
