The Assignment DLC for The Evil Within will be about Kidman and her experience in the story. This DLC take care of the plot holes in the story from the base game and adds a new perspective about it. It makes the game more interesting and adds more sense about the weird story telling in The Evil Within, It's not to long either, you can play it through in 2 - 3 hours. The gameplay is also different, because Kidman can only hide, lure and run away from enemies, which adds an interesting dynamic for the game. This DLC also introduces character and soundtrack collectibles, which are nice additions, also there are letter pieces to collect.

However, certain happenings in this DLC doesn't quite align with the base game, mainly what Kidman's doing. I understand that lot of parts in her experience with the world of they are in, but most of the time in the base game Kidman had her gun, which now it disappeared completely and lot of scenarios happens differently, which is weird. Not even mentioning the letter collectible, which doesn't really add any new information to the universe. The gameplay can be boring to some, as I wrote it's not the same survival horror shooting, like in the base game, this has more puzzles in my opinion.

If you want to learn more about the story and you don't mind the different gameplay, there is no question that you should buy this. However if you expect to continue the killing spree from the last game, you should skip this one. I can recommend to get this DLC for half of it's price on Steam, not more then that.
