  Nothing new, same crap as the game.

  Gilly Island was by far the most frustrating, most annoying, most tedious, and least inspired world in Super Lucky's Tale. I endured it for completion's sake, but it was not enjoyable. First off, it's very short. As with every world in the main game, each level contains four obtainable clovers. When I saw that Gilly's Island had 18 clovers in it, I thought "oh, that's not bad. Four levels and two puzzles/minigames. Cool." But it turns out, there are actually only three levels and there are a whopping six puzzles. I don't know about you, but I buy platformer collectathons because I want to, you know, run, jump, explore, collect, etc. Not complete six near-identical puzzles in a dim, cramped cave. That having been said, if having six puzzles instead of two puzzles saved the DLC from having a fourth level that was as bad as the first two levels were, then perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. The first level features rafts that float along looping paths to connect multiple islands. The problem is, standing still and riding on rafts that move slowly is not fun. The level wore out its welcome because it was so large and yet the only method of travel to explore was to be on the dumb rafts. Another big issue with Gilly Island is that there is this absolutely irritating music that is blasting all over the world map and throughout the first level. I understand that the game is trying to tell a story about Lucky stopping the evil music that is possessing the poor, innocent world inhabitants, but making the player suffer through the blaring 5-second song that's on an endless loop and has a truly dreadful sound to it was a bad idea. We get it; the animals are suffering. Don't make the players suffer, too. All that will do is make them hate your game. The second of three levels is a maze puzzle that is excruciatingly long and not fun in the slightest. Fortunately, the rave music does not make an appearance in this level. It utilizes colored switches that you flip to adjust the layout of the maze's colored fences as you try to track down five umbrellas hidden within the corridors. It also features a dreadful top-down camera view that should be burned with fire. The main reprieve of the level is that there are non-solid fence spots that Lucky can burrow under to get to the other side, but you also want to spend as much time as possible carrying a ghost lantern that allows you to see the endless paths of hidden ghost platforms. However, you can't hold the lantern and burrow at the same time, so you end up putting the lantern down, burrowing, finding out that the burrow lead to nothing, then having to walk back across the level to find another lantern because the one you put down disappeared back to the respawn point. What fun! This level might not have been so bad if Lucky didn't already have brutally slow movement speed, but any level that requires significant amounts of backtracking becomes torture very quickly. The third level is actually pretty good, and it reminded me of some of the better levels from the main game. It is a 2D side-scroller platformer, and it gets back to the kind of level design that I believe people both expect and want when they buy a game like Super Lucky's Tale. Not standing still on moving rafts. Not wandering through a maze. And certainly not listening to the worst rave music ever created. You run. You jump. You burrow. You have timed challenges. You have a cool dodging cannonfire section. You have collectables. You have secret areas. You have a boss at the end. It's lovely. If the DLC had just been three of this style of level, it would have been far better off. The six puzzles are basic rehashes of the sliding totem puzzles that were in the main game. They were generally more difficult than the ones featured in the main game, but I was able to figure them all out on my own (and I'm no puzzle master). It would have been nice to not have them all be the same thing over and over. Or perhaps to add some sort of new wrinkle to them. As it is, they are just more of the same. If you liked the sliding totem puzzles in the main game, you'll like these, too. If you didn't, you won't like these, either. The final boss is, again, more of the same style from the main game. "Stay on the safe floor tiles and avoid the bad floor tiles" mixed with "bullet hell-lite" where you survive until the boss gives you an opening, hit them, repeat with a little more challenge, hit them again, repeat with one more crank up on the "craziness" knob, and then hit them a third time and win. The end, and thank you for playing Gilly Island. Overall, I think this has "feels like content that was cut and should've stayed that way but then became DLC because why not?" written all over it. I would recommend the main game of Super Lucky's Tale to fans of platformers and collectathons, but I would not recommend spending time on this DLC. It just simply was far more unenjoyable than it was fun. Thankfully I did Gilly Island before I did the Guardian Trials, because it would've been a shame for my experience with Super Lucky's Tale to end on this bad note. Play the main game and play the Guardian Trials. Skip Gilly Island.

  While it's a bit shady that this wasn't a part of the main game, I'd be lying if I said this wasn't a ton of fun, if you love the game then this is a must have to complete the experience

  I'm an absolute sucker for tropical island themed levels in video games. I personally think they are always really pretty, relaxing and generally fun to be in. Gilly Island is all of these things. It's basically another level right out of Super Lucky's Tale; there is a HUB world and a handful of levels each with their own collectables. Really it feels like it should have been in the main game :\ but it's not, so I'd recommend this DLC but try to get it on sale.
