Resurrection released about a month after Battlefront 2. It's free DLC, so at least EA kept that promise of no paid DLC. (There's still time to fuck us there though) as it's free content, I won't be giving it a score at the end.
First off, it adds two new heroes, (Two that should've been in from the start) Finn and Captain Phasma. Finn is awesome, he's my favourite hero, along with Darth Maul in the game. Phasma is good, but she doesn't have as great abilities to make you ponder over picking her or someone with a lightsaber. I've had my best run as a hero playing as Finn, far better than Yoda online.
The Resurrection story takes place in the current film franchise, with Finn and Rey. Iden is now old, like Luke and Leia. You start off as Kylo Ren, (I mean, why not? The original story horribly forced in heroes) you find Del, who is married to Iden at this point. Along with Hask from the original story, he then goes on to kill Del. Iden is on the hunt for Hask, and finally bring him down. As Del and Iden have been married for so long, why not force a child of there's into the story? A young rebel who wants to follow in her mother's footsteps, that's not too cliché is it?
Iden and Del's daughter, Zay, wants to fight alongside her mother and help bring down Hask. Unlike her mother, she started with the Rebels and didn't blow up inhabited planets for a living. There are only three missions, space combat, ground combat, boring. Nothing new is added, nothing interesting, just bland. The acting was awful, Iden immediately gets over the death of her husband of thirty years, Zay also doesn't seem to care. The pair barely react to the news of someone incredibly close to them being killed. The two are joined on there journey by my standout character from the original, Shriv. The content is short, lazy and pointless. Shriv adds comedy and good acting, and Hask stands out again with his brilliant acting too. I didn't like Zay, still struggled to care about Iden, and cheaply adding in Kylo was poor. Thank God Rey and Finn weren't forced in.
If this is the end of the single player DLC for Battlefront 2, then I'm embarrassed. This is all they could do? The original campaign was really weak, and this short story was pointless and just bad. The only good thing was that Shriv came back. Hopefully they bring more single player content, and it's back when Iden was with the Empire, but God forbid you play as a villian. EA you fucking pussies.
