It was Frank Capra with robot arms and samurai swords, and Iateitup.

Is it fair to judge this free update in a review of the paid expansion?

And it gets a lot right.

I needn’t have worried.
The result is an expansion that reflects, refracts and enriches the game around it.
This review is based on a review build of the game provided by developers CD Projekt Red.
