Fun piece of DLC, although very short. Orcs Must Die! 3 is a good game. It contains some improvements over the previous installments and offers some new features to keep it interesting. In the core, it is still the same Tower Defense game in which you blast away Orcs and Demons, before they reach the Rift. In this DLC, it is not any different. After finishing the main game, I completed the Cold as Eyes Expansion. This was done in under half an hour, because it offers only three new scenarios. In Orcs Must Die! 3: Cold as Eyes, a new threat arises in which Cyclops are attacking the Rift. This new enemy type plays exactly the same as the Orcs, with weaker, stronger and very strong variations, ranged enemies and mini bosses. However, for some reason, the Cyclops feel weaker and their strongest unit, the Chieftain, gets blown away in just a few shots. The Graphics are still cartoonish and jolly, the way it is supposed to be for this game series. The backgrounds and environments are nicely detailed and colorful. The ragdoll animations and gibs look great, although sometimes, enemies can have a little seizure when they are shot or yeeted over a barricade. In terms of sound design, the grunts and reactions of the Orcs are hilarious and when you throw them in the air, the little “weeeehhh” sounds they make made me grin every time. The music is alright, although I still prefer the masterpiece soundtracks from the first game for some reason. So, in this case, I turn off the music, get the playlist from the first game and play it in the background. Needless to say, this DLC was a cakewalk. Create a corridor, shoot some enemies up yourself and you got nothing to worry about. Like mentioned, the DLC is very, very short. I like the extra piece of content, but for almost seven euros, it is not worth it in perspective. It felt like a quick reskin with the addition of some new, useless traps and that’s it. In the end, I do not recommend this DLC, purely because of its price and the lackluster amount of content you get from it.

This new DLC is good with the exception of the 2 ENDLESS MODE Levels NOT being available to play. It just says Complete "Hidden Dock" to unlock & Complete "Master's Courtyard" to unlock. Well, neither of these are available to play, so how am I supposed to unlock something when the game levels aren't even there for me to play?
