Finished Super Robot Wars Y Anniversary Expansion Pack!

This was an odd expansion. It's a really good "alternate" final chapter for the game, adding a ton of things people were asking for in the base game - letting certain characters survive, a bunch of new combination attacks, Witch from Mercury S2 content, better closure for several story points.

But at the same time, the lack of proper integration with the base game really hurts it. How many people will enjoy going through the (very long) final chapter of the game, then jump into this DLC to go through variations of the same scenarios? I think that a mod that allows you you go straight from Chapter 6 into Anniversary Expansion Pack would be amazing and make for the best possible experience for someone playing this game for the first time.

Overall I really enjoyed SRWY. The base game is solid and fixes most of the issues I had with the previous game, the main cast is fantastic and there's a ton of great cross-series interactions. I think the DLCs are good, but a bit too pricy for what they offer so I don't recommend them unless you get them on a sale.

Haven't decided what I'll play next.... probably resuming Perennial Dusk: Kinsenka.
