"Ultimately, Far Cry 6: Vaas - Insanity is a showcase for Vaas and a reminder of how layered the character is. Mando&s;s performance elevates the quality of the DLC and kept me coming back for more."

"The roguelite experiment is appreciable because it offers a demanding and satisfying challenge. Unfortunately, the lack of general variety and the poor in-depth narrative component are two significant burdens, and they are not the only ones."

"Rather than continuing the story of guerillas in Yara, Far Cry 6 Vaas: Insanity offers a tight little roguelite centered on the villain of Far Cry 3. Stripping the franchise down to its core of exploration and shooting, this DLC …"

"Far Cry 6 Vaas: Insanity provides a deeper and more nuanced look at a troubled character. Unfortunately, it has a fairly restrictive rogue-lite system if you&s;re pressed for time. Worse, there&s;s not a lot to look forward to after your …"

"The only regret is that Vaas: Insanity was not equipped with any co-op mode, although even without it it is a surprisingly successful addition, with which I had much more fun than with Far Cry 6."

"Roguelike and Far Cry&s;s reunion is more successful than thought. But a DLC alone is high, its content is low. If you don&s;t have a Season Pass, it doesn&s;t make sense to buy it before all three additional packages arrive."
Read original review"Vaas Insanity utilizes a new genre and a whole new artistic design that goes well with the madness of its protagonist and offers a totally new kind of Far Cary experience that you should definitely check out."
