Although you could say the learning curve is very steep if you compare your ability at 100 hours vs 10 hours, the objectives the game sets you, or you set yourself, means you never feel like you are consistently failing.
Story

44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story part of it is also great, and the new characters are fun and have been created with as much care as the characters in the base game.
