Common complaints:

- Content limited to packs (weight 0.5): Some feedback highlights that the character is only obtainable through certain bundles, not individually, which restricts player choice and adds frustration.
- Missing subtitles for voice lines (weight 0.19): New voice lines introduced with the DLC lack subtitles, which can hinder accessibility and comprehension for players.
- Story ending remains unchanged (weight 0.19): The DLC does not alter the story ending, reinforcing that it is purely cosmetic rather than adding narrative depth.

Gameplay feedback:
- Reverse Flash is a reskin (weight 0.7): Multiple reviewers note that the Reverse Flash DLC feels like a reskin of the existing Flash character, with only minor changes. It is described as a skin rather than a standalone character, sharing the same moves and techniques.
- Skin for Flash with unique abilities (weight 0.37): There is conflicting feedback: one reviewer calls it a skin for Flash, while another says it introduces an alternate version with unique abilities. The latter suggests that the DLC offers more than just cosmetic changes, potentially including new moves or traits.
- Costume transforms into new character (weight 0.23): Some feedback highlights that the content is a costume that transforms the character into another character with new moves, suggesting a more substantial change than a simple skin. This indicates mixed perceptions about the depth of the DLC.
- Requires custom build setup (weight 0.21): One reviewer mentions that using the Reverse Flash content requires setting up a custom build, which may be a hurdle for players expecting plug-and-play functionality. This adds a layer of complexity to the experience.
