Common complaints:
- Cosmetic-only DLC disappoints (weight 0.56): The pack contains only cosmetic content with no new playable characters, Fatalities, Brutalities, story content, stages, or game modes. This makes the DLC feel shallow and lacking in substantive value.
- Poor value for price (weight 0.41): The DLC is not worth the price given the minimal content provided. This is a common complaint that the cost does not match the perceived value.
- No gameplay advantages offered (weight 0.4): The DLC provides purely cosmetic changes with no gameplay bonuses or advantages. This reinforces the perception that the content is superficial and not worth the cost for competitive players.
- Skins failed to appear (weight 0.25): After purchasing the DLC, the skins did not work or show up, indicating a technical issue. This is a significant problem that undermines the purchase and frustrates players.
- Not worth outside Kombat Pack (weight 0.24): The DLC is not worth purchasing unless it is included in the Kombat Pack, as the standalone value is too low. This suggests that the content is overpriced for what it offers.
- Skins bore non-horror fans (weight 0.23): The gothic and horror-themed skins may quickly become boring for players who are not fans of that aesthetic, as they only alter appearance without adding new experiences. This limits the pack's appeal to a niche audience.
- Costumes should be rewards (weight 0.23): The costumes should have been unlockable rewards for player actions or given to everyone for Halloween, rather than being limited to three characters. This would have increased player engagement and satisfaction.

- Pack lost among dead characters (weight 0.22): The pack gets lost among the dead characters in the franchise, meaning the content feels disconnected or irrelevant to the current game state. This reduces the appeal of the DLC.
- Geras sand traps too cheap (weight 0.21): The reviewer feels that Geras's sand traps are too cheap, likely referring to gameplay balance issues. This is a specific gameplay criticism that may affect the enjoyment of matches.

- Command grabs disliked (weight 0.19): The reviewer is not a fan of command grabs, which may be a personal preference but could also indicate a broader dislike for certain mechanics. This is a niche gameplay opinion.

- Player acts as postman (weight 0.17): One review describes the player's role as a postman, indicating a focus on delivery or transport mechanics rather than combat or action.
