Reception

A well-balanced and lovingly made final DLC.

While it doesn't offer much in the way of closure, The Forgotten Sanctum is a satisfyingly eccentric expansion with Cronenbergian elements and an atmosphere vaguely reminiscent of Planescape: Torment.

Third DLC offers adequate challenge, but there should be more maps

Deadfire's last DLC pack is easily the strongest, though still a bit short.

Amongst Deadfire's three DLCs, The Forgotten Sanctum is probably the best, as it understands the strengths of the core game much better, with a greater balance between battles, storytelling, and role-playing.
