"In this conclusion to Fire Emblem: Three Houses&s; Expansion Pass, you can expect great new characters and more interesting stories to explore, this time within the Abyss. Some maps can repeat and it&s;s exceptionally difficult, but it&s;s a worthy closing."

"If you intend to try out all the new content then the asking price of AU$37.50 is worth it, but if you’re strictly only interested in the Cindered Shadows DLC then you may want to rethink the purchase."
