I thought it was... good. Not great, but I'd give it like a 7, maybe a 7.5 out of 10.
The combat and gunplay was fun, the contraptions were a cool new addition, the first half of the story was interesting and had a lot of "whaaaaaaaat" moments, the presentation is gorgeous, and most of the levels are interesting, both in level design and visual aesthetics.
However... the contraptions really weren't enough to evolve the gameplay from the original, so it feels more like another expansion like the Old Blood in terms of how it plays. Not only that, but the second half of the story felt way too silly and lost a lot of the impact of the first half, the side content is literally just retreading through the levels, and you can't replay story missions like you could in the New Order, which makes 100%ing the game a lot more tedious. Not to mention there's only one boss fight: the final boss. And I didn't even know it was the final boss until after I beat it, which made the ending feel REALLY abrupt.
Overall, I'm still glad I played it and I definitely had fun with it. I just think it's a step down from the New Order and the Old Blood. And I really don't understand how or why it got so much critical acclaim. But hey, to each their own.
