So, I wanted to like this DLC, and there are some great things about this, however the execution isn't quite there, with some of them really making what could have been a great DLC into something which ended up a bit disappointing really. As with my review of the full game, all the ships have been completely scrapped, all the collectables have been collected.
1 - The new giant ships are great, lots of destruction to do, lots of exploring and graphically great
2 - Definitely more challenging than the original
3 - some big money to be made
However there are some problems with this which can get really frustrating, hopefully something that an update can fix
1 - destroyed parts just fall through floors - far more than the original. While it doesn't destroy the game, it definitely removes some of the enjoyment, especially when you have to move a lot further to reach the truck. This while a bit annoying, added with the other issues really did depreciate from the user experience
2 - Random connectors getting stuck in mid air. If you demolish the floor below, you can get a floating door in the middle of no where, not easily reachable, and in some cases, you have to go back to a previous save, to destroy this before re-destroying the floor below.
3 - scrapping the ship at the end often fails, requiring you to force close the game, to re open it and hope you can do it this time.
4 - Lagging - wanting to knock a large area down in 1 go? It will lag when you do it, even with graphic settings turned down, and smallish areas where you have a 4x4 ceiling area. It does make watching it fall far less enjoyable. Similarly, if you have auto saves turned on, then it will lag quite heavily when it does that save. Both of these didn't seem to happen during the original game, and happened even when there was very little of the ship left at the end. Even when dropping the graphics settings down, it was still happening which was quite disappointing, especially when the original game ran so smoothly
5 - Steam element issues. Now this is one where it really shouldn't be happening. Even when the steam element is turned off, and the unit destroyed, you can cut into the pipe further up and it will start steaming. I've even had it where 1 single piece of pipe, not connected to anything ended up steaming from both ends. This happened a couple of times, on different ships, and was a pain, and undermines the element that could have been a great addition.
6 - with the increased size, I would have loved the addition of a couple of new tiers in the hold capacity to dramatically increase the hold capacity. Even doubling it in total would make it far more enjoyable.
Hopefully the performance and glitching issues are something that can be fixed in a patch, especially the lag and scrapping issues, as I can imagine for some people it would result in them just giving up on the game, which is certainly a shame as there was so much promise and enjoyment to be had, if it hadn't been for the negative issues that I encountered.
