Sadly the DLC feels rushed and unpolished.
While I will say the co-op feature is quite fun, the rest of the DLC doesn't really feel worth the time.

Arctic Cruise seems to have the right idea, but the overall layout of the level and three missions themselves feel very tedious and overall unsatifying to play and complete.

Death Wish is just a mess all together. While some missions felt difficult in a satisfying way, majority of the missions are poorly designed death traps that are giant time wasters. Even when completing these ludicrously bad challenges, the frustration and time wasted doesn't feel worth it. Many of these challenges need either a major tone down, or just better design so they don't feel like slapped together mod levels that tried to cram every enemy and trap in at once.
Not really sure why Death Wish was even added at all in the first place, it doesn't fit in at all with the core game as that was about having a cute, casual, fun platforming experience; while I understand there is probably a small group of people who enjoy these tedious missions, these levels should've been mod levels at best.
While there is an easy mode to Death Wish at the cost of a handful of pons, it doesn't really negate anything about how poorly Death Wish was designed and doesn't make it overall any better.

Overall;
+Arctic Cruise is alright, doesn't compare to any core levels but the tone at least fits in with the core game.
+ Co-op is a nice addition.
- Death Wish doesn't fit in at all, is tedious, a giant time waster and feels like a mesh of badly thoughtout sloppy mod levels.
~ New skins for your character and hats, which is gate locked behind Death Wish. (though you can probably get such skins for free through mods honestly)
~ Low pricetag, although that does not excuse the poor design of this DLC.

There are some good points in this DLC, but the whole package does not feel worth it. If you truly want Arctic Cruise or co-op, luckily the pricing isn't too high on this and it might still be worth it to you. Just know that majority of the content in this DLC is the messy, sloppy and disappointing Death Wish.

***This review does not reflect the original core game, as the core game is still fantastic.
