The expansion introduces significant new content that enhances replayability, adding depth to the experience. However, the shift in gameplay approach for season three, particularly the absence of the previously created character, creates a disconnect between the final battle and the rest of the game.

“The game offers a variety of paths and choices that encourage multiple playthroughs, making each experience feel fresh and engaging.”
“The new content introduced in the expansion adds depth and replay value, but the change in how you experience season three, especially without the character you created and used in the previous seasons, creates a disconnect between the final battle and the rest of Attack on Titan 2.”
“After completing the game once, there isn't much incentive to go back and replay it, as the story doesn't change significantly and the gameplay feels repetitive.”

Critic Reviews
Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle Review
Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle is a real oddity. There’s a lot of new content introduced as part of the expansion - much of it adding real depth and replay value to an already sizeable package - but changing the approach to how you experience season three (specifically without the character you created and used through the two previous ones) does create a schism between Final Battle and the rest of Attack on Titan 2. The introduction of ranged weaponry really opens up your titan-battling options, and Territory Recovery is a welcome new Dynasty Warriors-style mode that embraces the game’s best mechanics. However, the pricing model is far too high and only serves to penalise players who already own the base game.
70%Dismember the Titans --- Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle review
Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle is a great way to experience what it's like to be in the shoes of the scout regiment as they fight for humanity's sake. With wonderfully fluid movement thanks to the ODM gear and the strategic combat, you'll want to slay as many Titans as possible. The downside is that combat does get repetitive after some time, but this can be helped by taking plenty of breaks.
