Seeker, Slayer, Survivor is mediocre and lukewarm at best, and at worst a tedious grind replete with performance issues caused by the 3.0 patch. While the 4.0 patch mostly fixed it, it was still a huge problem during my playthrough. And while not entirely a waste of time, only Pillars completionists and diehard fans of pausable real-time combat will really enjoy the grind. It might be worth it in a bundle with a hefty discount, but even then it’s not something you can sink your teeth into.

Seeker, Slayer, Survivor’s main reliance on combat ends up being both its strength and weakness. Played after finishing the game, its string of battles with light dialogue interludes in between them, end up being one-note, even if they’re challenging enough on their own. It’s more suited to complement the Watcher’s travels across the Deadfire, also considering how the optional portions of it require leaving the island. Seeker, Slayer, Survivor’s challenging arena fights cater to those seeking more combat. But in doing so, it also feels like a lesser offering than the more balanced Beast of Winter and certainly one that’s not that vital an addition to the core Deadfire experience.

It's hard to recommend Seeker, Slayer, Survivor to anyone except the most die-hard fans of the game: those that want a few new weapons to play around with and a few more enemies to swing them at. For those less invested in the game, this one's okay to skip.

Pillar of Eternity II: Deadfire - Seeker, Slayer, Survivor is a DLC that feels as if it doesn't understand the strengths of the main game. Focusing mainly in okay-ish battles, and throwing role-playing out of the window, it's a hard title to recommend.
