I've just about completed the main campaign in RotTR (final boss fight in progress) and have only got a few collectibles to pick up. I've loved the game and am considering the season pass. It's currently showing at £19.99 which is 2/3's the cost of the game when I picked it up. I'm really not interested in 'outfits' for Lara, only the additional missions, etc.
What I'd like to know is (those that have the DLC) is it worth the money? I've been stung by Season Passes before, so am wary now. I'm also thinking (hoping) as the final DLC of the season pass is now out, maybe it'll be in one of the MS sales soon?

Thoughts?

Wow. This question has gone down like a lead balloon! LOL

I have beaten the Boss now and am on the 'tidy-up' phase (challenges, coins, etc) so will keep an eye on the season pass price.

I think, if the price was right I would probably get the pass as I'm enjoying the main campaign but am only about a third of the way through. I finished the first one and am just trying to get a few more achievements for collecting stuff and then I'm done with it.

Yeah. It's crazy how you can complete the campaign but be like 30% completed overall. A lot of the achievements are for the score zone games. Dunno if I can be arsed with them.
I looked at the DLC packs today. Baba Yaga looks ok, Cold Darkness seems like horde mode in GoW and the survivor game (I guess) is like New Game+ on Arkham City. Not sure I want them all, so I might just keep an eye on Baba Yaga in the sales.
Ultimately I'm looking at the DLC to stop myself buying Quantum Break at full price as I think that will be dropping soon. LOL

I'm in two minds with DLC, yes it adds content (not always good content) but in the main it is costing nearly as much again as the main game (Arkham Knight, I'm looking at you!) and it pains me to shell out more cash for an already fairly expensive hobby.

A couple of the DLC's look interesting but whether I opt to buy the Season Pass or not is debatable. I completed the game to 100% (story) and haven't returned to it since. Its a great game and thoroughly enjoyed it but not enough to pay more for its DLC that I only have interest in its extra story content. I am not paying £10+ for a few extra hours but may pick up the season pass if its 'greatly' reduced or pick it up as a 'complete' game on my PS4 (if they release it that way)

Why can't life be like gaming? Why can't I restart from an earlier checkpoint??

Thanks guys. I've just spotted the full game is now £18.95 on Amazon so the Season Pass is actually more expensive! Ridiculous!

@Captain_Chao5: That's my biggest criticism about the Digital market place. Unlike physical retail stores (online or otherwise), they have competition that drives down prices and also can drop the price according to 'demand' - if the demand is not there at 'x' price, drop to 'y' price to try and sell. They also need to clear 'stock' to make room for newer stock. Digital has no competition so sells at RRP and has no physical entity so takes up no space and therefore doesn't need to 'sell' to make room for newer stock. A lot of games can be purchased for less money than just 1 of the DLC packs let alone a Season Pass....
