Gladio, one of the three faithful comrades who accompany Noctis on his journey will become a playable character for the very first time in his own episode with a completely different type of gameplay and an all-new story. Picking up from the events from the group’s encounter with Ravus, Gladio leaves the group to train alongside Cor and become even more powerful. He sets on a path to face challenges by encountering larger than life monsters along the way.

Reception

It's worth buying only if you're of the most devoted fans of Hajime Tabata's work.

If you're not bothered about extra loot or costumes, then Episode Gladiolus might not be that worthwhile. But if you're a fan who was invested in Final Fantasy XV's main story, finding out what happened to Gladiolus and learning where he got his scar from is a very welcome addition.

A somewhat enjoyable addition, but one that is neither essential nor adds much to the game. Recommended only for those that have finished the game and are still hungry for more.

A lot of folks have been complaining about just how small of an experience Episode Gladio is and I’m inclined to agree with their frustration, at least partly. This episode could have been so much better, but what is presented is a fun way to spend an evening.

If you're looking to spend more time in the world of Eos, then Episode Gladiolus is absolutely worthwhile.
