Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Not only it is expensive when compared to the base game, but most of the stuff you receive is either small bonuses that aren’t important in the grand scheme of things or content that basically skips most of the progression in the Clan Creator minigame (although optional), making it less challenging and therefore, less rewarding.
