This game, and all the new content in it, is directly targeted towards those who have already played and enjoyed The Stanley Parable; it's almost like an epilogue for it. Don't get me wrong, this is fantastic and worth your money, but don't expect the new content to be exactly like the original game. Hilarious as always, though!

Spoilers ahead:

The large majority of the content is linear, and you start it as soon as you pass through the "New Content" door. This game sort of has a campaign, and it's split into a few segments. By the time you get to the last one, the main game is re-unlocked and the ability to carry a bucket is enabled, which alters any ending you bring it to (though the degree to which the ending is modified drastically varies; some are completely changed, and others just have slightly modified dialogue). These bucket endings don't add a ton of content to the game (only an hour or so), but they're a fun addition to the package.

Without the bucket, all the endings are mostly unmodified except the Games Ending, which has had its games switched from Minecraft and Portal to Firewatch and Rocket League. While the new version of the ending is still fun, it's a shame the original couldn't be included in this game (assuming there were licensing or porting issues with the old games).


The main portion of the new content takes a few hours to complete, and it took me six to see what I believe is 100% of what was added to the game. Whether this is worth it to you depends on how much you liked the original. If you don't own the 2013 game, this is the easiest recommendation of my life; the amount of content including that from the original release is huge. However, if you have played the original, this would probably only be worth it for you if you really liked the game and wanted more, though the 33% off does help.
