After the 10-year wait for Final Fantasy XV, it released with a flurry of mixed reviews from fans and critics. Being a long time Final Fantasy fan, I have to say, that I was one of the people who really enjoyed the visceral and large open world of Final Fantasy XV. I purchased the season pass based on the promised episodic character DLC and eventually a multiplayer DLC. Unfortunately, the Season Pass has been a giant let down so far, Episode Prompto Included.
Episode Prompto had so much potential in its character interactions and intriguing story, but the incredibly poor gameplay and empty time-padding makes this Episode a boring and sometimes borderline broken slog.
"Struggling to push on, feelings of loss, confusion, and betrayal sink in as you force yourself ever onward, unsure if you’ll make it through unscathed, darkness prodding at the edge of your vision. Not only was this how I felt playing Final Fantasy XV‘s second piece of story DLC, but it’s also how it opens, as Prompto struggles through a Niflheim tundra."
Screen Critics says: "When Square-Enix’s Final Fantasy XV released in Late 2016, the game also offered a Season Pass to gamers. With the promise of filling story gaps of the main cast as well as a significant amount of side content for the main game. Episode Prompto is the second of three story driven pieces being released."
