Welcome to the first review that was played in 2017! This review and all that follow will be in contention to appear in my end of the year review awards. I'll be planning to include a best and worst DLC award this year too.
Worst DLC ever? It might just be. Dark Forest is Dante Inferno's first DLC. It is set right before Dante returns home and finds the bodies of Beatrice and his father. We start off with maxed out holy and unholy paths, giving us the ability to use all moves and upgrades. Dante sees a man and starts to chase him, the man turns out to be the assassin that killed Beatrice and Dante's father.
This was a poor cash in and it's cheaply made. When Beatrice appears, her lips don't move and there are no new enemies, just reskinned to make something look new. It's ridiculously short and is basically one big puzzle with a few enemy waves. In between each part of the puzzle is a wave of enemies, there's three altogether.
The puzzle has you going through Portal doors, depending on which way a beam of light is shining from. If you enter the wrong door it'll take you back to the start, leaving you to begin the puzzle section again. You get a description hinting how to solve the puzzle. Once you kill all the waves and solve the whole puzzle, you're done. And this was priced at 400 Microsoft Points back in the day. It's a well made puzzle, but that much for a 15 minute and pointless DLC? Get fucked!
I don't know if it's still available to buy, but if it is, don't! Don't waste that much money on something that isn't needed or worth bothering with at all. As it stands, this is the worst DLC I've ever played.
1.2/5
