Forewarning: There is no New Game+ or post-game content like in Prey. When you complete all your orders, the game is over - you cannot resume your simulation to explore further or work towards your own goals, it auto-saves before the end credits. This is the biggest gripe I have with the DLC, otherwise it's good.

Following the stellar release of Prey is its DLC, Mooncrash, which spins a Roguelike twist on the original formula.

This may be a turnoff for most, but rest assured that it's still pretty good. It's much smaller in scope than the original game with regards to story and map-size but makes up for it with increased combat depth and new gameplay implementations in the form of multiple survivors that you can play as (which each have their own skill-trees). I personally find this DLC to be a fresh experience as someone who has experienced all of the base game and I'm a fan of what it introduces, though it's sort of lacking in some ways.

Each play-through of the simulation will be different in some way or another and is a baseline standard for the roguelike experience, however I find that the degree of change is too minor to be engaging. Without going into too much detail, most runs play the same and the map doesn't change enough to warrant a change of strategy most of the time and, due to this DLC using Prey's immersive-sim-framework, most obstacles can just be avoided or countered with ease. This is both good and bad - I like the freedom of choice, but I don't like how your freedom isn't challenged between playthroughs to promote experimentation or variety; again, I find myself following the same routes and paths to go where I want to with minimal challenge (and I LIKE challenge but since the built-in timer gives me a sense of urgency I don't want to waste time not following the quickest path).

Don't get me wrong, the game-feel is great, combat hits hard, resourcing matters more than ever and critical thinking is a must. These elements make for a great and worthy DLC for Prey. Definite recommendation if you're itching to further experience the world of Prey and its quirks.
