Final Fantasy XV: Episode Prompto Critic Reviews

Episode Prompto is a way better DLC than Episode Gladio. It's more focused to begin with and much more compelling thanks to a good narrative, some crazy villain and a pair of characters everyone learned to love. It also delivers quite a lengthy content at a somewhat cheap price, making it a nice addition to your Final Fantasy XV campaign.

Episode Prompto is a far better chapter that Episode Gladiolus was. With different but interesting gameplay, a really good story and a design that strays from being linear, this DLC has many good reasons to convince players to return to Final Fantasy XV.

The story is even touching, introspective, infused with details and curiosities that widen the knowledge of the dark machinations of the Niflheim Empire.

Episode Prompto is a significant improvement over Episode Gladiolus, and fans of Final Fantasy XV will enjoy the additional light character development. It's still a bit awkward in places both narratively and mechanically, but it works well enough to fill a gap in Final Fantasy XV.

Episode Prompto is a better DLC than Episode Gladio, but that doesn't make it great in anyway. The open environment is welcome and Prompto’s play style is unique though hindered by some questionable design choices. Episode Prompto doesn't enrich the XV experience in anyway. Instead of leaving excited for Episode Ignis I left hoping they would just move on to Final Fantasy XVI.

Short and unsatisfying DLC that makes the prior one better than it was.

Final Fantasy XV: Episode Prompto plugs another gap in the main game's still woefully disjointed story, but a seriously shoddy mix of gameplay mechanics makes it a difficult DLC to recommend.

Like “Episode Gladiolus” before it, Prompto’s new chapter is on the short side. I managed to play through the experience in just under two hours. But it packs a lot into that small package.
