Positives: World Design - Overlord has a surprisingly well thought out fantasy world to explore Art Style - The look of the game...

There is no way I never reviewed this gem. Anyway, this DLC is a 'must have' if you want to play Overlord 2. It ties the two together nicely. I enjoyed its contents. Though, the final boss is kind of confusing, since it works differently than most bosses but I am sure everyone can figure it out. This game and its DLC shows what games used to be about. Graphics are really not everything.

Man, this DLC shows a lot of improvement with the game mechanics. The controls are still a bit clunky, but I got used to them in the main game. This time around, though, it uses the remote control mechanic in a much more creative way than I imagined. I won't go into too much detail to avoid spoilers, but I loved the pinball game with Melvin. That part alone was a lot of fun.
