The Phantom Limb Level Pack Review Summary

Well-designed story and fun levels with great droid characters, but the game is very short and overpriced, DLC excluded from Season Pass, and achievements locked behind paywall.

Well-designed and story-focused: Players appreciate the story-focused, well-thought-out design with interesting themes, dialogue, and humor. The level is cool, dark, and adds new enemies and droids.

Clear red arm origin: The DLC effectively explains the origin of C-3PO's red arm, a detail from The Force Awakens. Players appreciate the clear and satisfying backstory, which is better explained than in the movie.

Fun and entertaining level: The level is described as fun, entertaining, and slightly different from others. It is considered a great addition and a favorite level pack by some players.

Great droid characters and level: The DLC features many droid characters, including Mouse Droids, Gonk Droids, and 2MED2, with a droid-only level. Players enjoy the unique designs and the focus on droids.

Good addition and highly recommended: The levels are a good addition that elevates the experience. It is highly recommended by some and considered a favorite level pack.

DLC excluded from Season Pass: Many players report that the DLC is not included in the Season Pass or Deluxe Edition, requiring an additional purchase. This is seen as a deceptive practice, especially for those who bought premium editions expecting all content.

Very short and overpriced: The DLC is widely criticized for being extremely short, with most players completing it in 10-20 minutes. Given the price of $3 or more, many feel it offers poor value for money.

Achievements locked behind paywall: The DLC includes achievements required for 100% completion, but players must pay extra to access them. This is seen as a manipulative tactic to force purchases, especially for achievement hunters.

Droid characters are poorly designed: The playable droid characters are criticized for being slow, unable to jump, and having weak combat abilities. Many feel they are reskins or nearly useless, making gameplay frustrating.

Poor story and voice acting: The DLC suffers from weak voice acting (especially C-3PO), rushed cutscenes, and a confusing or uninteresting story. Some players note missing assets and a lack of character depth.

Droid-only gameplay: The DLC is a droid-only level where you play as a group of droids, including new droid characters, from a robot point of view.

C-3PO's red arm story: The DLC explains the canonical story of how C-3PO got his red arm, featuring C-3PO dialogue and his survival.

Taul planet setting: The DLC is set on the acidic planet Taul, a new location where players must survive the terrain and involves the capture of Admiral Ackbar.

Poor story adaptation: The DLC is based on a comic and features canonical events, but the story is not told well.

Story-focused DLC: This is a story-focused DLC level pack with an extra mission.

Game crashes frequently: Multiple players report that the game crashes, with one player experiencing crashes twice before stabilizing on a third attempt, and another crashing upon level completion. This suggests a recurring stability issue that may be triggered by specific actions or transitions.

Only for achievement hunters: Many reviews indicate the DLC is primarily valuable for players seeking to complete achievements or trophies, with several explicitly stating it is only worth buying for achievement hunters.

Wait for a sale: Several reviews recommend waiting for a sale before purchasing, suggesting the DLC is overpriced at full price but may be acceptable at a discount, such as $1 or 70% off.

Recommended for Star Wars fans: Some reviews recommend the DLC for fans of Star Wars, LEGO, or the movies, indicating it may have value for those deeply invested in the franchise or lore.

Not for season pass holders: One review notes that the DLC is not recommended as an addition to the season pass, suggesting it may be excluded or not worth the extra cost for season pass holders.

Not for comic readers: A single review advises against buying for those who have read the comic or don't care about the story, suggesting the DLC's narrative may be redundant or uninteresting.

Community fair range: $5.00 - $15.00.

Completionist Achievement Hunter: Methodically pursues all achievements, often replaying content or buying DLC solely for achievement unlocks. Motivation: Achievement completion and 100% game completion. Stance: deep sale.

Lore-Focused Star Wars Fan: Engages with narrative content, appreciates tie-ins to expanded universe, and values authenticity. Motivation: Expanding Star Wars lore and experiencing story details. Stance: sale.

Value-Conscious Pragmatist: Cautious buyer, researches prices, waits for sales, and evaluates content-to-cost ratio. Motivation: Getting fair value for money, avoiding overpriced content. Stance: deep sale.

Monetization: The user feedback focuses entirely on a single DLC not being included in the Season Pass, with complaints about forced achievement purchases and poor value. There is no evidence of pay-to-win mechanics, loot boxes, currency obfuscation, or any real-money shop beyond standard DLC purchases. According to the scoring rules, traditional DLC/expansion complaints cannot push the score above 20. The score reflects mild frustration with DLC practices but no predatory monetization.
