i beat the dlc when it originally came out and thought it was alright. came back a few years later and realised how much i despise it. the animation and music are steller as always, but the fights themselves feel less "harder" and theres just more "stuff" on screen that can hit you. the difficulty of the dlc entirely consists of overwhelming you with rng attacks and flooding the screen with hard to see minions. the original game was hard, but fair. i p and s-ranked every level when the game first came out. the dlc sometimes feels like a slot machine with a game attached to it, cuz when you win, its because you got lucky, and the game didnt spawn as many minions as last time.
everything BESIDES the boss fights are spectacular. miss chalice is a joy to play as, with an entire new moveset. the art and music are amazing, the boss designs are near perfect, the new charms and weapons are perfect for replaying the game with. its such a treat. but when you buy the dlc, youre not buying it because youre dying to play with the new converge weapon. its because of the bosses. and the bosses feel like they forgot how to make a good cuphead boss. not a single boss can i say is even good, and the chef saltbaker fight made me want to quit the dlc. not because its hard, but because its complete chance if the boss is even beatable or not.
