I have only had a couple of hours with this DLC, and all I can say is wow. I wish the base game was like this, and based on what I have seen so far, I will be buying the next DLC. The atmosphere in the space station is right up my alley.
As you enter the Oracle you see floating bodies and the ship is nearly silent. In the distance you can hear a beeping alarm, and wow was I spooked. The feeling of the whole station is extremely creepy.
You come to learn that the ship wouldn’t stop jumping. This is revealed through reading a computer that you find after your first encounter with what I’m calling, the Shattered. It appears that the blue stuff growing inside the ship was turning and twisting people breaking them, and forcing them to become aggressive.
This DLC was not stingy with the money either. I was getting credits left and right at the start. You can find the credit packs floating everywhere. There is also a healthy amount of guns, ammo, and gear to find. Two outfits stood out to me while the space suits were more of the same that you see in the base game, at least so far.
The feeling of dread is all over the Oracle. Bodies float all around you, and there is not a single other living person to speak to. I love this, it’s the right level of horror to kick off the DLC.
As I continued through the DLC I was on the edge of my seat, worried that it was going to end at any moment. I had no previous information going in so imagine my surprise when the whole space station jumps and we hear that we need to go land on a nearby planet.
There is a whole world here waiting to be explored and I couldn’t be more excited. The story has already pulled me in and I have a million different questions. I can’t wait to see where everything goes and I love the horror atmosphere the DLC has been providing so far.
