    Randomness keeps Darkest Dungeon's signature grind in a holding pattern, but new content breathes life into the whole experience.
  2. I’m conflicted. Conceptually, The Crimson Court is very much my cup of blood, but the execution, particularly when it comes to the first mission and the curse, sometimes feels off. That said, Red Hook has clearly been taking feedback seriously, and changes have already been made to make things a little less punishing.

    Darkest Dungeon: The Crimson Court consistently fails to meaningfully expand upon what made Darkest Dungeon great.

    This expansion is designed to be played with a new save file and attempting to integrate this content into a late game save will make an already weak expansion excruciating.

    If you want more Darkest Dungeon you will find it here but you will also find an unnecessarily high amount of things you did not want or ask for.

    I would avoid this DLC unless you know what you are getting into.
