The first downloadable content for this British-based post-apocalyptic survival actioner, Wicked Isle ups the ante with a new coastal location and mystery set around four hidden keys and a long-sealed crypt.
There are different characters and a couple of new enemy types – including eerie 1950s-style humanoid sea monsters – plus a refreshed armoury, the highlight of which is the satisfyingly hefty blunderbuss. The overall experience, however, feels underwhelming.
There’s little sense of risk or meaningful reward, and outside of some new ending cinematics, nothing major changes. If you enjoy Atomfall’s investigative tone this is well worth a visit, but Wicked Isle is more of a side dish than a main course – tasty enough to please the devoted, but unlikely to convert the curious.
