Movies Games and Tech writes: The first DLC for Far Cry 5 was rather dark in tone and serious in the story it told. Now following on from Hours of Darkness comes the second piece of DLC and a very different tone indeed as the action moves to outer space and lands on Mars. Will say that is the DLC that grabbed my attention when I first saw the Season Pass graphic and especially after playing a certain side mission within the main campaign.
Tom Chick - "The new game+ is part of the latest update, so really, it has nothing to do with the paid DLC. But now that it’s all been released, two out of three ain’t bad. The level of quality dipped with each successive release, and the pricing seems to know this. On Steam, the Vietnam DLC is $12, the Mars DLC is $10, and the zombie DLC is $8. Or you can get all three with a $30 season’s pass, which seems to be aimed at people who are bad at math. But if you’re a discerning buyer of DLC, come to Hours of Darkness for the gameplay, Lost on Mars for the humor, and Dead Living Zombies for neither."

Couldn't have put it better myself. When I play the Dead Living Zombies DLC, ironically, I feel like I'm turning into a brain dead zombie. Most uninspired piece of crap I've ever played. Played 2 maps, and no more. FINALLY, I can now delete Far Cry 5 from my PS4.
I've gotten a similar vibe from other people. When an XBL friend was playing Lost on Mars he'd send me 30-sec clips showing some of the humorous lines.
It’s not worth it, even for the free copy of fc3. Just get fc3 for 10 bucks cheaper or much cheaper on a sale.

Just finished this myself, really liked the main game but I thought Hours of Darkness was meh and this was terrible.
8/10 from Lost On Mars? I couldn't even complete it and I'm a Far Cry fan....
