TL:DR: If I were you I would buy the game with all the DLCs apart from the Repetance. The game without Repetance is excellent, so stay away from Repetance and have a blast while you save some money to buy another game.

I've played the game for more than 1500 hours (check my profile). The previous expansions were good. With Repetance, I can't enjoy the game anymore. Let me list the good and bads:

• Many bugs that existed in previous expansions were fixed
  
• Sprites were updated and look nicer
  
• Lots of new floors, enemies, items and new floor mechanics
  
• Some new cool mechanics

• The game became unbalanced especially in the early game. On the very first floor you may face a bullet hell boss (that red fat fly) that is way too difficult for first boss. It fits better on mid game (like caves+). Lots of enemies got buffed where lots of good items got nerfed a lot. This made the balance lean toward harder than before and most of the times it requires snowballing to beat the game. On older expansions you could beat the game without snowballing just by having some decent items and using your skill. The new alternative floors have stupid difficult enemies and bosses for being that early in the game, discouraging from playing them unless you got really powerfull early on. It supposed to be "Alternatives" not stupid hard mode.
  
• The 70% of Repetance content is taken from the old free expansion called antibirth. In other words you pay for stuff you could get for free before. Also the Antibirth expansion was far more enjoyable and above all it had better balance compared to this. So yes, you pay for something that was free and better.
  
• No Linux native support. It requires tricks to play it although it's not that hard to make it work. However the previous expansions had native support and worked out of the box.

I would easily put this on one of the top 5 games I've played this decade (2010-2020), comparable to Witcher 3 in terms of quality/enjoyment.
* Very nice action and open-world gameplay. However, although it is an RPG, the rpg elements are kinda reduced to Plugin Chips, leveling and swords/Pod upgrades. Even with that, it was very enjoyable.
* One of the best stories out there. This is more for the grown up people since it contains philosophical elements so the children will not give much value to it. Also the story is quite large so expect a lot of gameplay. You will not get bored at all. Also there are a lot of sidequests.
* Graphics are ok. The game plays very well even on low end hardware. It even plays excellent on Linux, if not better. I've played on linux on Rx Vega 56 on 4K max settings with 35-60 fps.
* Music is by far the best thing of this game. One of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in a game. The music is so good and fits so well with the scenes/situations that makes you fill with the same emotions the characters have even when they do not express them.

Μετά την 8η φορά που το τερμάτισα, κουράστικα λίγο. Τώρα με τραβάει για 9η, αλλά λέω να παίξω και τίποτα άλλο.

10/10
Το παιχνίδι είναι ένα έπος. Είναι κάτι περισσότερο απο ένα παιχνίδι με Puzzles. Τα γραφικά, οι ήχοι, τα μηνύματα που ακούγονται κατα την διάρκεια του παιχνιδιού, σε κάνουν να ταυτιστείς με αυτό.

Τα γραφικά είναι πολύ καλά και παίζει σε συστήματα με χαμηλά specs πολύ χαλαρα. Σε λάπτοπ με i3 330M, Radeon HD 5470 έπεξε στα High σε καλα FPS.

Πιστεύω ότι το 50% του ωραίου του παιχνιδιού αυτού είναι οι συνομιλίες που συμβαίνουν όσο παίζεις. Όποιος το έπεξε με κλειστό ήχο, έχασε.

Θεωρώ ότι είναι Must Play για όλους.

Πάρα πολύ καλό παιχνίδι. Είναι γρήγορο, έχει αρκετά επίπεδα δυσκολίας, πολλά αντικείμενα, και abilities. Ωραία μουσική, ωραία γραφικά (αισθητικά), και όταν το τερματίσεις το πράμα συνεχίζει με Random Maps, New Game+ (καινουργιο παιχνιδι, αλλα ξεκινάς απο το Level και τα Items που ήσουν οταν το τερμάτισες). Το παιχνίδι γίνεται ακόμα πιο ωραίο αν έχεις έναν φίλο να παίζετε παρέα.
