Broken World is a disappointing expansion because it does make some very important improvements to DS2's gameplay, and doesn't tell a story that is good enough to play. All the elements that made the original title good are there, including exploding bodies and big colorful spells thrown around by large adventure parties. But Broken World seems hollow in comparison to the main game. By far, the people who would benefit the most would be those who are playing DS2 through for the first time. Also, those who don't really care about the story, or people who are mainly interested in new gameplay features for multiplayer, have much to gain with this expansion. Otherwise, this is a story that nobody would have missed if it had remained untold.​
